New to me 39M

Post by dr walker »

I stopped by our local gun shop and looked around, there on the used gun rack was a lever sticking out. It came home with me. It is a Marlin 39M, it is a little rough on the outside, pitting here and there, wood finish rough as well.The butt plate looks brand new. The inside of the gun, action and bore are pristine. I took it to the range and put 50 through it with no problems. A thunderstorm was coming, so I had just a little time. I ordered a Williams 5d this morning. Because of how it looks I got a great deal on it. I am happy with my new gun.

Absolutely nothing wrong with accepting a few dents and dings in exchange for a good price on a great shooter! That's the story on most of my guns. Cosmetic perfection is for collectors. Me, I SHOOT my guns! :D

Your rifle has great "character" and it's a rimfire. Nothing wrong with that.
