California 336W Newbie --- What Marlin is selling isn't what they advertise!

In November I purchased a new 336W (my first Marlin) from the Gallery of Guns. The rifle shoots fine but I was bothered that the lever, hammer, and trigger are rough-hewn and almost all the metal is black powder coat --- not "deeply blued metal surfaces; gold-plated trigger" as described on their website. Since the only way to contact Marlin is via snailmail (no email or phone listed) I sent them a letter asking what's up with my rifle. They received the letter over 10 days ago but no response as yet.

I feel ripped off!

Welcome from Goldthwaite, TX! I'd holler bloody murder for sure -- is Gallery of Guns Davidson's? They're the ones guilty of misleading advertising to my way of thinkin'. Hope you get it straightened out! John

Welcome from Long Island farm country. Yep it's a Remlin, some are good shooters, the new W's have a Remington 870 Express finish, laminate stock with black oxide, not parkerized as some think, happy shootin'. Cheers:beerglass:
