Marlin Firearms is a sporting goods manufacturer based in Madison, North Carolina, with roots tracing back to 1870 when John M. Marlin opened his shop in New Haven, Connecticut. Its core offerings are rimfire and lever-action rifles that have long been part of American hunting and shooting tradition, including classic models such as the 39A, 336, 1894, and 60, alongside more contemporary designs like the 308 Marlin Express. These firearms are aimed at hunters and shooting enthusiasts who value craftsmanship and attention to detail in their gear. Over time the business has undergone ownership changes, including the acquisition of Hr1871 in 2000 and Marlin's later integration into Remington Arms. The company maintains a relatively small workforce and remains active in product development and partnerships within the sector. Most recently, in May 2026, Marlin announced a factory collaboration with Mad Pig Customs to produce a purpose-built Model 1894.
