Congratulations on the Marlin 39A. You picked well. Looking forward to what you think of her after your range trip.
Aim Small, Miss Small.
Ya done good, the 39-A is a superb lever action .22
Only a fool would attempt it, and God help me I am that fool.
Had my Golden 39A since mid 70’s without near problems.....take down model too! You picked a good one! Long barrel, good sight radius, lots of ammo, dependable, accurate. What’s not to love in a 22 lever?
Great thread! I scrimped and saved and bought a 9422 in the late 70s and love it to this day. I read a great article about why Winchester had to quit making them because they were just too expensive to make. Of all of the comments in the article this one makes me grin. "Owing a 9422 for me was like taking the prom queen to prom". Couldn't put it any better than that!!
Marlin 39 is a dream gun!
