M D Lancaster Posted February 13, 2021 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
Hoss Posted February 13, 2021 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.
M D Lancaster Posted February 13, 2021 Author Posted February 13, 2021 Thanks Hoss Prices on Gun Broker are shocking and on line purchasing is hard for me to try I have been to three large gun shows here in East and not a one to be seen Happy hunting
dokdoc #61722 Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 I have a 1957 39a that I would part with for 750 plus shipping
Buck Garrett Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Very nice! If I didn't already have a 1954 I would be all over this gun.
dokdoc #61722 Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Thanks , I have a 53 that I am hanging on to.
M D Lancaster Posted February 13, 2021 Author Posted February 13, 2021 DokDoc Sent you an email Couldn't get a pm to you
evil dogooder Posted February 13, 2021 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.
M D Lancaster Posted February 13, 2021 Author 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
gmmccaslin Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Hey Doc, If Hoss does not take it, I will buy it. 1957 is my birth year and I will sell the 1961 that I have to own my birth year. G Mac Abilene, Tx.
dokdoc #61722 Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Thanks , I am keeping a 1953, my birth year, I sent a pm to Hoss, awaiting reply(but I just sent it) I will be driving Thur Abilene on the 24 th and 26 th of this month.

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.
Bailey Creek,5759 Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 I have a Canadian Mountie that i like a lot. They have a shorter Barrel than the 39s.
Doc Red Dawg, SASS #16761 Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 I have q Marlin 39a with Ballard rifling in VG condition for it's age, $775. Also a Winchester 94-22 XTR for $750 and Browning BL22 $500, these are both in excellent condition. I can send you some pics if you're interested. Doc RD

I have one and it is incredibly smooth, like butter. Kajun
