I received the official notice (and a verification photo from the production floor ) that the Marlin LTR is now under first run production. Look for them to be available from Davidsons soon.

Thanks for the update, Brown.

The "stock watch" feature is also available again on Davidson's. So you can get an e-mail when they become available: http://www.galleryofguns.com/genie/Default.aspx?item=70677&7

Indiana Appleseed:  Farm Bred, Brass Fed

Lord make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true, and my hands faster than those who would seek to destroy me.  Grant me victory over my foes, and those  that wish to do harm to me and mine. Let not my last thought be if I only had my Gun; and Lord if today is truly the day that you take me home, let me die in a pile of empty brass.

A sincere thank you to everyone who shepherded this idea from concept to fruition.  This could/should be a case study in persistence, teamwork and dedication. Appleseeders from multiple states banded together to get this idea out to this point.

Now, we need to push it out to the country and make it happen. Talk it up and let's get a semi-load of 'em headed out to future Riflemen.

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."

confirmation phone call from Marlin that the first 500 795 LTR's are shipped to Davidsons and should arrive in inventory this week. If you want one better get on stock watch and have $$ ready. these will probably go quick.

For Liberty, each Freeman Strives
As its a Gift of God
And for it willing yield their Lives
And Seal it with their Blood

Thrice happy they who thus resign
Into the peacefull Grave
Much better there, in Death Confin'd
Than a Surviving Slave

This Motto may adorn their Tombs,

Than live as Slaves to You"

They haven't actually been in stock yet. They've been added to the catalog for quite some time though, always showing 0 stock.

Picked mine up tonight. No Appleseed gift certificate in the box. Is it a mail in offer?

To the best of my very limited knowledge, it should have been in the box, not a mail-in thing.  Someone who is in direct contact with the folks at Marlin will probably be along shortly to provide a more definite answer.

In any case, we will make sure you get taken care of.  Stay close while we figure this out.  I'm hoping the 500 GoG shipment aren't ALL screwed up.   %)

Looks nice, by the way.  That's the first I've seen a customer picture of.  Go shoot it!

My local FFL took delivery of 7 Marlin 795 LTRs yesterday; we found that the PA Gift Certificates, as well as the Gallery of Guns certificates were found in a separate, clear bag - NOT inside the Marlin boxes.

Started to hear about this mid afternoon on Friday . Have emailed Davidsons and Marlin to make them aware so they can change the location of where they put the certificates.

They have no expiration date. 2014,2015, I am sure no SB is going to turn anyone away from the line unless they think it is being abused

I'm going to have to hunt one of these up locally and take a look, just because it is so much bang for the buck. It reviews well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzUb2_sWorE and between the sights and the certificate, that is half of the cost right there.

I contacted the gun shop I purchased from and they were able to find the certificate. Should be able to pick it up this week.

Ladies and Gents,

    Perhaps an obvious question, but are there any formal plans, or taskings, to get the Marlin LTR into the hands of the myriad "gun" magazines, e.g. Gun Tests, Backwoods Home, American Rifleman. etc.?  An article containing a favorable revue - indeed, just the article itself, would be a huge promotions victory, nationally.  Articles in MULTIPLE magazines...can you say cover story and picture...
are potentially a gold mine for filling the lines in 2014.
    The aftermarker stores like Natchez, Midway, and CDNN should also be given a heads-up that they will soon experience an increase in orders for 795 magazines, as four ("prep 40...") requires the purchase of two more.

   Just saying...
