Here's the bidding for Remington assets from the bankruptcy court filing. The article lists out the primary and backup bidder. This could have been a lot worse, and Ruger taking over Marlin will be interesting.

Link to the actual court docs is in the article.

I agree, it will be very interesting to see what Ruger will do with Marlin now that it is going to be part of their business. I am also interested to see what Franklin Armory does with the Bushmaster assets it purchased.

I was excited about Magpul's Masada before they sold it to Remington and it was priced out of interest. Maybe Franklin will revive it and make it accessible. Originally, Magpul had designed it to be able to be modified to take AK74 and AK47 mags and eventually be chambered in 5.45 and 7.62, but Remington never bothered.
