WHAT'S INCLUDED
- Marlin Model 39A lever-action rifle
Built in the United States and dated to the 1950s, this Model 39A is a collectible example with period-correct details, including its pre-cross-bolt-safety configuration and external hammer. The blued finish matches the blued receiver for a consistent, traditional look.
The rifle uses a Micro-Groove barrel marked "MICRO-GROOVE" and wears iron sights consisting of a ramped front sight and a barrel-mounted open-notch rear sight with elevator. The barrel length is 24 inches, a classic configuration for the Model 39A.
Its takedown design is centered around a large knurled/slotted receiver-side takedown screw, and the solid-top side-eject receiver keeps the top of the receiver clean and uninterrupted. Feeding is handled by an under-barrel tubular magazine with a front-loading inner tube.
Furniture is walnut-colored wood with a pistol-grip stock and an uncheckered wood forearm. The buttstock includes a circular inlay/disc on the right side and a Marlin-marked black buttpad with a white-line spacer. Length of pull is listed at 13.25.
