Yes, you are correct...good point.

Skribs, Yes, I know - I'm just stating the numbers "flat". Let's make it an even 300M guns in the US. Point is, the overwhelming majority of those guns are LEGAL. And when you break it down to ~1,725 deaths occurred with a legal gun, then the percentage is 0.0006%....virtually a...

Hi all - new here, having first posted on the Marlin 39A club thread. Yes, I do own a Marlin 39A - been in my family since before I was born. I'm in the high tech field, focused on Marketing and Product Management. I have an undergrad in Accounting, a Master's in Software Engineering. I am...

Any politician that bends on this is making a mistake. I am sensitive to what happened - I'm a parent of children in this age range, and I live in NJ - not far from CT. I am devastated over the senseless acts and loss of life. I posted on another thread here some stats that everyone...

In light of the recent political posturing by our President, I will not be selling my Marlin 39A. Simply doesn't make any sense, and it's far too valuable to let go.

All - I'm relatively new here, but have been an active member at another car related forum with a healthy group of gun owners. I also do statistical analysis as part of my career, so the facts are clear. Without re-hashing some of the great posts at the other forum, what I can tell you is this...

Here's a pic of mine - needs to be cleaned up, but barely used.

No dog in this hunt, but IIRC, a .380 is the same diameter as a 9mm, but slightly shorter in length (2mm?). I may be wrong, but the diameter has more to do with the exit wound than the length, no? Many of my friends in law enforcement do not like the 9mm caliber - they say the rounds are too...

My next purchase will be the M&P15-22...hoping before Christmas!

Thanks - appreciate the welcome! I did read your post, it's awesome that you want to pass on the memories you had with your father to your grand kids. My father and I have always been a little less attached to guns - we're not collectors by any stretch, and we do have other non-firearms...

Hi all - new here. Getting back in the game after about a 15 year layoff (kids, work, etc). Have bought and sold a few guns over the years, but kept the .22 rifle my Dad taught me to shoot on. Turns out it's a Marlin Golden 39A. Never thought much of it, but as I'm in NJ, having the tube...
