Marlin Mdl 39 .22 S/L/LR SN: 9698
Vintage American made lever action repeating rifle chambered in .22 Short, Long or Long Rifle, circa 1922-1925. Features a blued 24" octagonal barrel, full length tube magazine, dovetailed blade front sight, rear sporting sight(missing elevator), case hardened take-down receiver, smooth trigger, knurled hammer spur, curved lever, smooth walnut forend with metal end cap, and pistol grip shoulder stock with a factory checkered black hard rubber buttplate. Serial numbers match on the lower tang, inside the receiver and under the upper tang on the buttstock. The receiver exhibits muted but well preserved case coloring with some scattered oxidation that is predominately collected on the right side. The barrel & magazine tube retains approximately 75% of their blued finish with scattered light surface rust making up the balance. Action appears to require a little work as the lever works smooth but stiffens up around the ejector & the bolt does not seem to close completely when the chamber is loader, bore is semi-bright showing some light scattered pitting and wood stocks are good showing scattered blemishes & small losses. Condition is NRA good++ as vintage. ***C&R Firearm***
