The rumour within the collectors association is tha Remington have just employed a load of ex-Marlin craftsmen who they sacked a few years ago when production was moved out of New Haven. Proper Marlins on the market again should see the prices and availability come back to normal.
You're right about JM stamped Marlins. I bought an unfired brand new Marlin 1895 GBL .45-70 JM stamped that I imported from the states earlier this year. Will sell at some point next year but try buying that in the UK.
Ive just heard that its about 3 to 4 weeks till uk stock appears. This will give you option of a new one but also drop the 2nd hand prices of any that are around
