What’s Included
- Marlin Model 39AS Original Golden lever-action rifle (manufactured 1993)
Marlin’s Micro-Groove rifling uses 16 shallow lands to increase bullet engagement and keep fouling to a minimum. Paired with the 24-inch steel barrel, it helps this rifle deliver excellent accuracy with standard .22 LR loads.
The takedown system separates the receiver halves with a single thumbscrew, making transport, cleaning, and storage straightforward while maintaining zero when reassembled.
Original Golden trim includes a gold-plated single-stage trigger and gold-filled barrel script. The matte-blued steel receiver carries the JM proof mark prized by collectors for its pre-Remington production quality.
Walnut stock and forend feature a pistol-grip profile, cut checkering, white-line spacer, and factory sling-swivel studs. Iron sights consist of a hooded ramp front with brass bead and an elevator-adjustable semi-buckhorn rear.
Safety elements include a cross-bolt hammer-block and traditional half-cock notch, giving users modern peace of mind without compromising the classic lever-action handling.
