Sh54 I don't believe that for one minute. That was Remington's excuse. Marlin was still turning out quality rifles. My cousin was looking at a couple 1895 Guide Guns recently made by "Remlin" and cut the back of his fingers on the lever. The edges of the lever were that sharp. They never bothered to deburr/polish them. He told me the quality was no where near what mine was. ONe thing I don't like about my Guide Gun is that idiotic cross bolt safety. I know the reason behind it. But I never use mine. I'm even thinking about having it removed and replaced with a "dummy" button.
As for CVA CS I never had any problems with my rifles. But I did call them for information and got some advice on my Accura's fining pin bushing and they sent me bunch of O-rings at no charge. A cheap item but still.....
