Just wondering who might know; I am wondering what differnces there are from the standard 39A to the Golden besides the Gold trigger. I am inclined to thing the lack of checkering on the golden is one diffrence, but the one I just picked up was made in 1976 and I know that Marlin has done many leverguns with smooth stocks over the years, regardless of model.
As an aside, I did get a very sweet deal on it. The guy was asking $330, but needed some work done on his truck. As a career technician, I get parts at cost. So, I put 4 Monroe Reflex shocks on, new wiper blades and fixed his busted rear washer line. Cost me $142 and an hour of my time, but would have cost him $524 +tax at the shop. Good deal on both ends. I get less than half price on the gun, he saves hundreds on auto repair. I love the barter system!
The rifle is ~95%; one small stock ding and two very faint ~1/2" scrathes on the reciever. I think it spent many, many years on someones closet without much firing. Golden 39A's on GA and GB seem to run $325-$450.
