M D Lancaster Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Looking for a Marlin 39a 22 to shoot some Cowboy fun matches Would prefer a Ballard barrel but not a deal breaker Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Me and you both! I’ve been watching at gun shows for a couple of years. Found one, had a pistol grip stock, but straight lever . Somebody had cut a groove in the stock to allow it to fit. another looked good, but had mechanical issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil dogooder Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 The local shop has an old marlin 22 takedown that it just took in on trade Thursday. I don't know if it's a 39a but I can swing by next week and find out if you want. It's a straight grip. Other than that i don't know much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M D Lancaster Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Evil Dogooder Thanks that is very kind of you I however don't want straight stock For some reason-could just be my bad shooting- I do best with a pistol grip stack But 5hanks for effort and help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s a straight stock it is probably a Mountie which are highly desirable. If it’s in good shape and decent price it would be a good one to pickup.

I have one and it is incredibly smooth, like butter. Kajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
