1958 Marlin 39A Golden Mountie .22 Lever Action

[1srelluc]

I picked this one up this morning....Decent shape.

I have a slightly earlier one set-up with a Lyman receiver sight so I plan to scope this one....I have one of the little Redfield scopes (Browning branded) I'm going to put on it once I get the mount that I ordered in.

There are cult level collectors of these 39 Variants . Working the Funshows I have seen guys get giddy with finds of them , not Luger or Nazi Highpower Giddy but Cowboy Gun ( Real Historic or Modern )

Sadly, I just missed a pre-ban Bakelite stocked Chi-Com AK.

My Dad had one of those.

I have a very rare Marlin model 60.
One of only 11 million ever made.

/---/ I bought a similar lever-action Marlin 22 from a gun store, but with a Bushnell scope. The owner said the finish is better on the older rifles.

Yeah, but everyone needed one....That's why they had to make so many.

I don't know, for some reason I always found the barrel finish to be a bit thin on the 39As.

"Derelict House Guy" brought in several higher-priced long guns yesterday but damn some were rough cosmetically.

Several pre-ban FALs, a couple of AKs, and a SKS along with the Mountie. I was surprised it was as in good a shape as it was.

He did bring in some decent handguns. An early SIG 226, a 6.50" S&W 29-2 in .44 mag, a FN High Power, a S&W M1917, and a Beretta M92F. They were all OK.

I thought about a getting another pre-ban L1A1 (inch pattern Imbel) but I already have one. That and it was dirty with a shit ton of surface rust. LOL....Still thinking on it.

.22s are fun and cheap to shoot

LOL.....I really don't know of anyone that doesn't have one.

Just keep them clean and keep a check the buffer and they are GTG.

There is actually a "collectable" Model 60 called the Model 99. It's M1 Carbine-ish. The rear sight alone goes for over $125.00 but the whole gun only bring around $300.00.
