Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Traced directly back to the original Model 1891 designed by John Mahon Marlin, the Marlin Model 39-A stands as the longest continuously produced shoulder firearm in history. Celebrated for its solid forged steel receiver, easy single-screw take-down action, full-length tubular magazine, and famous gold-plated trigger introduced with the "Golden" series, the Model 39-A represents the pinnacle of lever-action rimfire craftsmanship. Combined with Marlin's proprietary Micro-Groove rifling, original New Haven "JM" proofed 39-A rifles have earned legendary status for match-grade accuracy and heirloom quality.
This exact rifle, serial number T4823, was produced at the New Haven, Connecticut plant in 1960 (proven by the "T" serial prefix). Chambered in .22 S-L-LR, it features a 24-inch Micro-Groove barrel, high-lustre factory bluing, gold-plated trigger, brass-bead hooded front ramp sight, semi-buckhorn rear sight, and a handsome American walnut stock accented with white-line spacers at the pistol grip cap and buttplate. It comes fitted with a period-correct, high-quality vintage Redfield 2 3/4X 1-inch scope on a Redfield mounting base. Exhibiting outstanding original condition throughout with deep bluing coverage, rich wood grain, tight lever lockup, a mirror-bright bore, and crystal-clear optics, this 1960 Marlin Golden 39-A is a crown jewel addition for C&R collectors, lever-action purists, or vintage rimfire enthusiasts.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3-day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
