I picked up a Marlin 39A or maybe I should say a bag of Marlin 39A parts. It was supposedly complete, except for the lever and lever screw. Well I bought these from Brownells and when assembled the lever won't stay up. It falls down about an inch.
The gun appears to function properly, but then again, I haven't shot it yet. Was wondering if any of you who have a 39A could compare my photos of the internal parets to your M39A.
I have studied the online diagrams until I'm cross-eyed, but can't tell anything.
