In reply to Mario Barrera. They did go bankrupt. Good luck on your purchase.

if remington went bankrupt, why would Walmart continue selling remington inventory. I purchased a remington 783 rifle
on October 10, 2019.

In reply to Jlev. Lifetime warranties aren't worth a hoot is it's the life of the company that dies. Dang shame. Just wondering what a gunsmith would charge to correct the issue and if it makes any sense to proceed. It would be smart for anyone thinking of purchasing any used Marlins to check for warranty issues unresolved. Could be some on the market now based on your input. And, thanks for that.

I sent in a bolt gun (a Marlin) that was slated for a warranty replacement due to an excessive headspace issue in September. I had sent it in late July/early August.

I finally received the original rifle back a week ago, November, in exact condition it left in, unrepaired. It was noted by Remington that due to the bankruptcy they were unable to fulfill the warranty and that I’d need to take care of it myself.

I’m pretty disappointed that they made a promise they didn’t keep, and now with Marlin separating from Remington I assume I am on my own at this point.

To Marlin’s credit they were awesome to deal with and I can’t really hold this against them since they aren’t the one that went bankrupt, but Remington really left me high and dry on this one by promising that then yanking the rug out. A real shame, I really liked this rifle.
