100 year old original Marlin 39 rifle (not a 39A). At some point in the life of this rifle a previous owner mounted a Stith scope mount and subsequently removed it. This has three small mounting holes drilled in the receiver (one on left side and two small ones in the top) and one in the top tang. They don’t have any negative effect on the functionality of the rifle, but they are present. See pictures. This rifle functions properly and is extremely accurate with a very light trigger pull. The magazine operates correctly. The walnut buttstock and forend are quite nice especially considering it is 100 yeras old. It has a small chip in the buttplate. This rifle has a case-hardened receiver. These rifles sell for well over 3,000.00 in good condition and 1,500.00 in fair condition. Considering the scope mount holes, I feel 750.00 is a very fair price. This is a classic rifle and very hard to find. Would make a great Christmas present for that special someone. If you like vintage lever action rifles, this might be for you. Truthfully, I paid 1,300.00 for this rifle several years ago so I am taking a substantial loss. If you have any interest in buying, please send me a message. Thank you.
