Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Billed as the oldest continuously manufactured rifle in the world, the Marlin 39 began life as John Marlin's Model 1891 (used by Annie Oakley), redesigned as the 1897, then the Model 39 in 1922. The "39A" designation appeared in 1939. The "third variation" of the Model 39 series appeared in 1946, the fourth variation added a fluted comb, the fifth variation was introduced in 1951, and Marlin's "Micro-Groove" rifling appeared in 1953. The "redesigning" is generally considered so slight that the rifle is regarded as essentially the same article for over the last 100 years with in well in excess of two million produced.
Condition and Contents:
As you can see in the many high resolution photos, this Marlin is in Excellent condition overall showing far less than normal evidence of consumer use and handling for its age!

In this age of the false economy of skimping on firearms themselves and the proliferation of plastic and stamped steel parts, it is refreshing to shoot and enjoy an American Classic that has not sacrificed quality, heft, and feel for the sake of trendiness. The Marlin 39A remains a favorite lever action rifle for many and one of the finest .22's made. Not much can replace the feel of walnut, the look of bluing, the fit of machined forgings, and the robustness of the Marlin 39A's design.
Comparatively few rifles, especially .22's, give you the feeling that they can (or should) be passed down through the years for generation after generation to enjoy. The Marlin 39A achieves that rare, precious distinction as both best of breed, and one of the best ever.
