Great guns! I have 2 of the rare carbine models, one of which was made in my birth year. Zeus has another birth year gun he’s going to give me! GOOD LUCK WITH THAT! Maybe he'll do that after he gives me back THAT 500WE! You’re not helping my cause!  |

Those are great 22 rifles. I love mine. At $499 that's a steal if it is in good shape.

I was also born in 1952 and my first rifle in 1964 was a 39A Golden 24" with pistol grip stock..
Have had one other like it three Mounties and three CARBINES one of which I still have.
Appears to be out of the Marlin Custom Shop which I didn't even know existed till a few years ago. AAA walnut with high gloss blue with some engraving on the receiver and the owners initials. It was found in a closet three years after the owner died while the family was cleaning out the house. None of them wanted it so they took it to a local shop and put it on consignment... Unfortunately the shop wouldn't ask the family anything about the owner so I don't know if he was a Marlin employee or not...
Have one of the GruBee rifle scopes on it that is a clone of the old Redfield 3/4" tube scope but with click adjustments and lots of reticle choices...

My dad gave me a 10/22 in the 60's even though he knew all of my friends had Marlin or Winchester lever rifles and it took me 30+ years to get a Marlin to fill that hole :-)

Appears to be out of the Marlin Custom Shop which I didn't even know existed till a few years ago. AAA walnut with high gloss blue with some engraving on the receiver and the owners initials. Not sure if they had a "custom shop " per say but they were always down for special grades all through the years. One such 39 was found cheap at a LGS where the owner decided it was a BUBBA bumper chrome job and somebody had whittled a squirl on the stock. Definitely NO respectable gun maker would ever chrome plate a gun. Yet there it is. I was going to swap the very nice wood to a blue gun then sell off the chromed-up junk gun till I researched and found the 90th Anniversary Model 39 (1960 or 1961 can't remember). So now it sits in the safe cuz it's WAY too bright to take outside, in fact it's too blingy to even get a decent picture of.    |
