I figure it's time to pull this rascal out and give it a "once over". I scored it a while back at estate sale prices and have been holding onto it till I had time to tighten it up.
No restoration - just a shooter. It's going off to my nephew as a PhD gift since he's now finished his Post-Doc in Bio-whatzit-mech... Suffice it to say he's on his way to be a super-villian.
Anyhow, he's always after my 39s and I thought this one should be his.
Wondering as to the date of manufacture.
Yup, looked at the "39 Club". Interesting to blow through but dizzying if you're looking for particular info.
Wandering about, I note that some folk warn against Hi-Vel .22 through "S" marked 39s. is this the case? If so, I'll pass on another.
If the warning is valid - what's the failure on these if hi-vel is shot?
This one:
S 1430 under the lever.
Octagon
Looks like it had a rear swivel stud... factory?
