Got a golden 39-A mountie
Got the real thing instead of a chiappa knockoff. Bought it on GunBroker...made in 1961. Described as a safe queen. Looks neat new. Excited to get my paws in it and work the action.....ah the fun if a 22! Squirrels beware....wah ha ha!!!

Re: Got a golden 39-A mountie
Glad to see you got a 39!
You now own a piece of legendary rifle history - that of Marlin making the first lever action .22 and to be in continuous production for over 100 years!
Unless it comes to you like new clean I would highly recommend you give it a complete teardown and cleaning.
The mod 39s were known to have very tight tolerances and operate best when clean and free of gunk.

Oh yeah! Those 39's are awesome. I have a 39a from 1957, it's been used, but, it is tight still. The fella that had it before me couldn't stand the semi buckhorn and replaced it with a folding William's adjustable rear sight. You're going to really enjoy that 39. I forget, does the Mountie have the shorter barrel? Enjoy!!!!

Local Pawn shop has a 39 Article II and an 1897 Century limited. Don't know what you paid for yours but I have a notion to go look at them. I do own a 39A now but I have room for another. Both are nice looking from what I can tell online. Congrats on the 39 I like mine.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
