M D Lancaster 23 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Looking for a Marlin 39a 22 to shoot some Cowboy fun matches Would prefer a Ballard barrel but not a deal breaker Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoss 1,298 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M D Lancaster 23 Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

evil dogooder 1,027 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M D Lancaster 23 Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gmmccaslin 1 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have one and it is incredibly smooth, like butter. Kajun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
