Analysis of Marlin's Model 9 Camp Carbine: A Historical Overview
Marlin Introduces the New 9 mm Camp Carbine
Marlin Firearms has recently unveiled a new addition to their lineup – the Marlin 9 mm Camp Carbine. This semi-automatic carbine, chambered for the popular semi-auto pistol round, is a testament to Marlin's long-standing commitment to producing reliable firearms.
The new carbine has been put through rigorous testing, and the results are promising. The third sample fired several hundred rounds without a single breakage, demonstrating its robustness. Function firing tests, including firing the gun upside down, sidewise, and "fanning" the trigger for very rapid fire, were carried out with success.
However, the second carbine encountered an issue after doubling twice. A chipped urethane buffer at the rear of the receiver was found to be the culprit. The first Model 9 carbine was returned to the manufacturer before firing due to a problem. The bolt stop plate of the Model 9 was also found to be blocked by debris from previously fired shells, which is a concern that has been addressed in subsequent models.
The Model 9 is a pleasant gun to shoot, with recoil similar to a .22 rifle. It comes with a 16.62" barrel, a walnut-finished hardwood stock, and an 8-lb. trigger pull. Accessories include a 20-round magazine, although loading to capacity with the optional magazine can be a bit of a chore due to its stiff follower spring.
The carbine requires thorough cleaning after every 250 rounds of firing, a measure that was found to be justified in testing. Marlin has a reputation for producing carbines chambered for centerfire pistol cartridges for nearly a century, and this emphasis on quality and durability is evident in the Model 9.
Marlin's successful Model 1894 has also been updated to accommodate the .357 and .41 Mag. chamberings. This model, which has satisfied many revolver owners, is now available in these powerful calibres. Interestingly, the Model 1894 "reproduction" in .44 Mag. caliber, introduced in 1969, is still in production today.
The Marlin Model 336T "Texan" in .44 Mag. was produced from 1963 to 1967. Despite its discontinuation, Marlin's commitment to delivering high-quality firearms remains unwavering, as demonstrated by the introduction of the new Marlin 9 mm Camp Carbine.
The carbine weighs around 6 lbs., but samples received by NRA averaged 1/4 lb. less. With its robust construction, reliable performance, and user-friendly design, the Marlin 9 mm Camp Carbine is a worthy addition to any firearms collection.
