I bought a used Marlin 22 model 39A in 1955 when I was 14 years old . I still have it and the only thing I ever did was replace the front sight that was broken when I had bought it . Killed a lot of woodchucks with that gun .

the model 36's are sharp rifles..

[fasteddie]

Oh yeah . The Marlin 39A 22 that I bought was from "Hughs Sports Shop" in Dansville . It was one of the 1st Army / Navy type shops that I had ever been in ........

My father gave me his Model 336 30-30 that he bought in the 60s, its a great gun, but the finish is in bad shape. One of these days Im going to have the gun restored to make it look pretty again.

Reminds me of one of those guns that I SHOULD have bought but did not...

About 20-25 years ago an elderly friend of mine offered to sell me his Marlin 30-30 rifle for $100.. I don't know if it was a 36 or a 336, but it was rifle (24"barrel) with a half magazine and it was not drilled and tapped for a scope.. It was in very good condition..I ended up passing on it, simply because I had ENOUGH guns and I did not really need it .. Wish now I had bought it..The old gent passed away about a year ago..

1.  Never pass on a firearm if it's worth more than you are paying for it.

2.  You can never have ENOUGH firearms!

Great reading,I have a 357 and a 44,they are fun to shoot.I love plinking with them when I want to shoot more then a 22.The 39a was my first 22 more then 30 years ago and still shoots like a charm.

[Mr VJP]

I have an 1894 in .357, sold one in .44 Mag a few years ago, a 336 in .30-30 and a 336 in .35 Rem.  I'm trying to decide if I want another one in .444 or .45-70 now.

I've never had one in the 39 in .22 though.  I have a lot of .22's but really prefer a bolt action in a rimfire rifle.

Unfortunately I have never had the pleasure of shooting a lever action rifle,I have owned Marlin shotguns,I enjoyed the historical facts of the article .

Have and love a marlin 1895 guide gun in 45-70, so fun to shoot and plink with!  they came out with one with a larger loop for gloves..guess i'm buying another one!!

My dad has a 336 in .35 Rem.  It is older than I am and looks like it might have been purchased yesterday.  It's a great gun.

I have the same gun, it was my first gun, it was given to me by my neighbor who could no longer deer hunt as a Christmas present and a reward for always shoveling snow in his driveway and sidewalk.

The guy was a WWI veteran and had the most memorable stories. Miss him a lot.

"I have more guns than I need...but I need more guns than I have"

[Mr VJP]

I have more than I need, but not as many as I want!

[ss444]

All I need is my 444 

[NYDeer]

The levers guns feel great to carry too.. I have a 444, and a win94 in 30-30.. I passed on a 39a and kick myself every time I think of it. I looked at a Henry 22 lever in Dicks a month ago, and THAT was a buttery smooth action..

I have a 1894 in .357 mag-what a hoot to shoot! I hope to fill a doe tag with that rifle some day.

Good read!

I have a .444S from 1981, and a M39A Golden Mountie carbine from the 60's. Hoping to get a .45-70, 1894 in .44 Mag. and a .35 Rem. someday when I get around to it. Other things just seem to get in the way at times.
