  • Good

    It was not better than expected but a good book in content. I am disappointed in the quality of the paper it is flat like, similar to a newspaper. It is probably to save weight and get all the mass of information into one volume. All in all great book on Marlin history. 👍

  • Great way to learn about Marlin guns!

    This book is a new high-quality reprint of a classic about the history of the Marlin Firearms Company. It is cheaper than an original copy and if you are not into collecting books, this is great for the information presented. I would recommend this book.

  • The title, though long, says it all!

    A very detailed in-depth look at another great American firearms company that is no more. Col. Brophy did it again as only he could. The cross over from civilian to military and back to civilian production is fascinating to say the least. A great book with lots of information lay ahead for anyone who is able to obtain a copy. Good addition to any arms library. R.B.

  • Marlin Firearms aka Brophy's Marlin book

    This book covers Marlins from the begining to the late 1980s. There is info on Model changes like when a caliber was added or when the 336 got drilled and tapped for a scope plus much more. It is the goto book for old collectors to accumulates like me.

  • Marlin and more Marlins

    I’m very pleased with this book. Great reference for collecting and general historical info. Obviously they can’t put every variation but it dose cover 99% of production Marlin firearms.
