Marlin Model 39 .22 – 1925, HIGH FACTORY CONDITION,

Here we have a very well cared for Marlin Model 39 rifle, snS6821 built in about 1925.  The 24” full octagon barrel has 99% original factory blue, and a bright shiny bore that rates a 9.5 out of 10.  The Model 39 was a continuation of the Marlin Model 1897 and was produced from 1922 until 1936.  It was a takedown rifle, which facilitated thorough cleaning and easy travel when able to be stored in a smaller case.  The ability to fire all .22 rimfire ammo to include shorts, longs, and long rifles (25 S, 20 L, 18 LR or any combination) made it a very versatile rifle and the Model 39 was known to be a very accurate, full-size rifle as well-yet this example weighs a very handy 6lbs! In addition to accuracy, ease of takedown, superb mechanics, it is a very attractive rifle with its distinctive “S” shaped pistol grip, octagon barrel, and full magazine tube. You will note that this rifle has the six-point star on the top tang, utilized by the final inspectors to indicate that this particular rifle was inspected and deemed to be a superior example in every way…none finer could be made. In addition to the deep factory bluing the receiver on this Model 39 shows 98% vivid case color, it has excellent screws, superb wood to metal fit, and an original early Marlin buttplate, it has a few field marks in the furniture.  The gun has a a Lyman No. 5B combination front globe sight and a Lyman 1A combination rear with a flip down peep. The stampings are clear and sharp…all untouched original condition. We have priced the rifle to sell at a very fair price, and this one will shoot with it’s pristine bore.  The gun was meant for Standard Velocity ammunition, which is still available in the marketplace.  These have become hard to find with high factory condition and not beat up.  A great little shooter/collector that will increase in value as you enjoy it use.  Thanks for looking!
