It must have to do with purchasing Marlin. Does this mean Marlin production will be in Prescott?

Marlin production is intended to be in Prescott. However, Ruger would be dumb as turnips to simply start up production using the old Marlin drawings. I would expect several months of engineering effort to convert everything to Solidworks, and some actual mechanical design work to re-tolerance everything for modern production.

Did Ruger’s purchase include the machinery involved in Marlin production, or just the intellectual property? If they get the machines, it’s going to take a while to either move all of it or sell it off. The CNC data is easy to move, you can literally email it or snail mail a thumb drive.

Freedom Group spent about zero dollars on Marlin, other than moving the tooling to NY. And essentially none of the labor moved.
I'd be shocked if the Marlin drawings were in any sort of modern CAD program. Probably on paper and micro-fisch.
I work for a major defense contractor, the amount of stuff we have that is not computerized is actually pretty depressing.

Hopefully it will mean more jobs for the Prescott area.
