jamming problem re: DStates To DStates: I recently had the same problem with my new 2007 M39 I bought in 2009. It happened when I switched from copper jacketed bullets to lead ones. I called Marlin and the tech said that these rifles don't shoot lead bullets very well because of the micro...

JustsayMo, Thanks for the informative post. There is a lot of good info there. I read it and realized I could have it much worse such as if I had a rifle shooting keyholing bullets. Maybe this club, with all the admiration for this rifle, was making me think I should have a perfect rifle...

Hi All, I appreciate the previous three posts on my rifle's inability to digest lead. I called Marlin's customer service about this problem and was told it was because of the Microgroove rifling. Their customer service rep said this type of rifling does not generally work well with plain lead...

Marlin 39 Club Rifle: Barrel - 22in, Octagon, Ballard rifling Stock - Pistol grips, Checkered Receiver - Real (not phony) Case-hardening Sights - Tang or Peep sight I wish that Marlin would go back to Ballard rifling so I can shoot lead ammo. It seems like they went to Micro bore in...

SWG42, Thanks for the reply. I'll check out his website. Can the new rear sight also work with the original front sight or do you have to install a new front sight also?

Brass Rear Sight ? Could someone tell me who makes the brass rear sight in "SGW42's" post of Sept. 5th. And I would be interested to know how well it works compared to the original sight. Concerning the ammo posts, my 2007 M39A only reliably shoots CCI Mini Mags. After shooting any lead ammo...

The newest one I've seen is a 2008 which looked to have the the same quality as my 2007 model. Check to see if you like the way the two halves join together, the flatness of the scope mounting area on top of the receiver, the fit of the walnut stock and forearm, and if the takedown screw has...

RKBA? Could someone please let me know what "RKBA" means. Thanks.:confused:

Thanks for refreshing my memory Armed Bear. I had forgotten that Marlin was sold to Remington in 2008, who in turn are one of many companies owned by Cerebus. I don't know what kind of effect this will have on Marlin's products if any. To me it's kind of sad to see them go from 100+ years of...

In response to Pweller's very interesting post, I have attached a picture of the inner machining of my own 2007 39A. I hope you can see the machining marks which do seem somewhat rough. Perhaps there is a reason it is made this way. If it were perfectly smooth inside lubricating oils might tend...

New Marlin Story(cont.) Before I tried out my new rifle, I decided to break it down for cleaning. It was sure hard to get apart the first time per the directions in the manual. I proceeded to clean it with several passes of Hoppe's No. 9. The attache picture shows the patches for each pass...

New Marlin Story Hi Marlin 39 Club, After a lot of research on various 22's I chose the 39A. It's brand new but a 2007 edition that's been sitting on the store rack for two years. It was a lot more comfortable to hold than everything else and it seemed a lot more rugged also. It reminded me of...
