Description
UPDATE: According to the owner of this firearm, it is from the first year of production of the Model 39A and the bore is excellent with pre-microgroove Ballard type rifling. Also, notice that the buttstock has the S-shaped pistol grip and the forearm is a wider beavertail style with a blue forearm cap. The rear sight was removed and a "diamond" blank was inserted. The receiver mounted rear-sight looks to be period correct!

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Marlin 39A represents the oldest and longest continuously produced shoulder firearm in the world. The Model 39A started life as the Marlin Model 1891, the first lever-action rifle ever chambered in .22LR and the magazine was loaded through a conventional side gate in the receiver. The tubular magazine was changed to front-loading with the Model 1892, due to the difficulties of receiver feeding the small rimfire round. The 1892 gave way to the takedown Model 1897, which became the Model 39 in 1921 and Model 39-A in 1939.
Condition and Contents:
As you can see in the many high resolution photos, this Marlin is in great condition showing less than average evidence of consumer use and handling over the years.
