Hi
After a marlin 1895 sbl, would prefer an older JM stamped one, but as long as it is running ok will take a remlin.
Thanks
Jay

If you haven't already done so, try South Yorkshire Shooting Supplies. That's where I got mine from :)

Mines a Remlin and has performed fine. I asked Roger to give it a look over before sending it down to me, and when it arrived I made sure it cycled dummy rounds without issues. Fit and finish is ok, but not amazing. That may be because it's a Remlin or I may have just been unlucky, but it doesn't detract from my enjoyment. Also mine is about 4 or 5 years old now, so not sure if QC has changed in the meantime. I would call them rather than rely on email to be honest.
