For Sale: Marlin 39A Mountie

[Sirius1963]

Quick link from Wikipedia, for those interested in a classic lever action 1960's rifle :-

The Golden 39A is still considered one of the finest examples of a lever .22 rifle, and one of the most accurate .22 rifles ever produced. It is also the best-selling lever rimfire in U.S. history.[2] Additionally "mountie" versions have been produced at various points in the rifle's life which featured a shorter 20" barrel and a straight stock.

Comes with a Nikko Sterling 3-9 scope. 1969 year of manufacture rifle. Built of steel and walnut. Beautiful condition, with the added utility of a take down gun.

Probably will regret it's going but not getting the use it deserves. Never threaded, and why would you want to. If you have room in your cabinet you should buy it. They dont make them this good anymore.

£300 plus RFD fees

Some Marlin history (Marlin Model Golden 39A - Wikipedia).

The Marlin 39A lever action, a descendant of the Model 1891, represents the oldest and longest continuously produced shoulder firearm in the world and is considered to have been continually produced to the same basic specifications for over 100 years. That’s from the 1890’s when Annie Oakley used a Model 1891 to put 25 shots through one jagged hole in 27 seconds, to the one currently available in Marlins custom shop at $3695 ***.

The 39M “Mountie” is a straight stock version of the 39A (with pistol grip). The "Mountie" versions have been produced at various points in the rifle's life and featured a shorter 20" barrel, straight stock and a magazine capacity of 20 Short, 16 Long or 15 Long Rifle .22 cartridges. The model 39 rifle is built of forged steel parts and American grown black walnut. It is one of the very few remaining .22 rifles with easy takedown ability (it can be taken apart using a coin).

Marlin 39’s are also famous for their proprietary Micro-Groove rifling, which uses many small lands, and are still considered one of the finest examples of a lever .22 rifle, and one of the most accurate .22 rifles ever produced.
