Squirrel Rifle '08

Post by stinkycat »

Finally got the squirrel rifle for 2008 finished. Each year I try to put together something for squirrel season. This is an L prefix 1954 39A, the year I was born. I put a green mountain octagon barrel, cut it with a target chamber, stocks are from Bastone walnut.

love that rifle. good luck during the upcoming season. I can relate a bit, though I don't build or refinish rifles, the new small game season always gets me thinking about the perfect small game rifle. yours looks pretty close to perfect!!! well done

That is without a doubt the prettiest Marlin 39 I've seen. I love that slim forearm and the wood is gorgeous.

And you even got the right kind of a sight on it :mrgreen: ! Two thumbs up ^^ .

No stain on the wood, for finish I used permalyn, both sealer and finish. For those who asked I wish I could do work for others but for right now health problems prevent it.

The Rem subbies are fine on game, not so violent an expansion as Winchesters. Some may crack and some may go pop though.

Too bad Marlin isn't monitoring this forum. They could have a great idea to generate some "nostalgic" sales, but for the safety they'd put on it.

That is fantastic work. You're a true craftsman.
