Plinking With My Marlin Golden 39 .22
Plinking With My Marlin Golden 39 .22
Got out today for a while with my Marlin 39.
Gave it a complete tear down & cleaning yesterday and decided this morning to go put a few rounds downrange.
It was missing it's rear sight as I took the Williams off it several years ago to put on a Winchester so I had to scrounge around my gun parts for a sight and managed to find an old WInchester buckhorn so I tapped it in, squared it up and called it good.
I got lucky and managed to keep pine cones bouncing at 50 yards.
Hadn't been out with a .22 in a long time and almost forgot how much fun it is!

Love the 39s.
The thick tapered barrel gives it great balance and the heft of a larger caliber rifle.

You definitely picked a great rifle to get back into some rimfire shooting. Another one, here, who loves the balance of the 39A.

Nice clean 39A. They are a fun rifle to own and take out shooting the kind of targets you were shooting. What is the year of your 39A?

The M-39 now wears a .375 gold bead front and a Williams receiver sight.
The front tapped in smoothly with no fitting needed.
Higher profile and a peep rear - major improvement!

The Williams peep is also my preferred sight for a 39A. Great choice for that rifle with that log 24" barrel.
