The worst flaw is the Social Security number that someone scratched into the side of the receiver, but it isn't really noticeable. It also helped to keep the price in the more reasonable range, and I was feeling more reasonable by the time I saw it. I visited with my friend for a while, then paid him $375.00 for his rifle.
This is the first 39A I've ever owned, and I think it's the first one I've ever shot. I don't think any of my friends or family have ever owned one. 17 rounds of long rifle, and a rimfire length lever throw make for a good combination. I also want to try some shorts in it. I like how the mag tube is in there securely and much more so than the 9422M rifles that I've tried. It's accurate and shootable as is, but with my aging eyes I think I'm going to find a receiver sight for it. Which ones do you fellows recommend?
