Marlin Firearms

Marlin Firearms has zero quality control in place. I purchased a Model 795 NIB and during the disassembly before shooting found a breech bolt that one side of it looks like it has sat in salt water for 6 months, They also did not install the assembly post which locks the action to the receiver so in essence it was a one shot rifle. It was sent back to the repair center and all that was done with regards to my two issues was the assembly post was installed. They chose to do nothing about the breech bolt. This is definitely the first and LAST Marlin I will ever buy. In hind sight Savage or Ruger would have been a much sounder purchase.
