1952 Marlin 39A .22 Rifle with Simmons Scope
SOLD
Description: We have for sale a very neat old Marlin 39A .22 lever action with a Simmons ".22 Mag" scope. The Marlin 39A is widely considered one the best lever action .22s ever produced. They will shoot all 3 sizes of .22 rimfire; short, long, and long rifle. This model started life in 1891 as the Marlin Model 1891, the first lever action ever chambered for the .22 rimfire cartridge. Several model changes and redesigns later it became the Model 39A in 1939. What did not change over those years was Marlin's first class build quality and reputation for reliability. Those qualities have made the 39A the best selling lever action .22 in U.S. history. This example, serial number J12631, was manufactured in 1952. It is pre "Micro Groove" rifling and has the Ballard style rifling instead. Many shooters believe that the Ballard style rifled guns are more accurate then the Micro Groove models that came after. It has the early large walnut forearm, a pistol grip style butt stock, no cross bolt safety, and it was factory drilled and tapped for a rear receiver mounted peep/target sight. At some point in this rifle's life it was drilled and tapped for a scope, both on the top of the receiver and the left side for a swing-away style scope mount. The un-used holes have had plug screws installed as you can see in the pictures. The Marlin factory blue finish is in great shape. It rates a solid 95%. The rifle has a Simmons "22 Mag" 4X rimfire scope mounted on it and a Williams brand hammer spur. While not an expensive scope, it has clear optics and functions properly to serve it's purpose. Overall, this is a really neat vintage Marlin that has a lot of character and class and would be a blast to shoot and hunt with. We have priced it to sell! SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes Manufacturer: Marlin Model: Model 39A Serial Number: J12631 Caliber Info: .22 cal.S.L.&L.R. |
