hi guys,
there is someone needig help in the firearms search page : http://www.thehighroad.org/showthrea...24#post9067724
looking for info on a 39 with serial TT8--
hope someone can help him
I did not find any indication of "TT". I found only a few instances where double letters were used. AA through AD (1965 to 1968) and BO (1972). There are a few other instances, but they are indicated as non-model-39 .22s and both letters start at "A" and end with "L".
So - maybe somebody stamped it post-manufacture for some reason? I don't know.
The info I got was from a Marlin Owner's forum attachment, easily found on the web. Just a plain "T" indicates 1960... but it sounds like this person already knows that.
Just picked up a 39a Takedown . Its been refinished & showing a little wear on the bluing . Have not shot it yet . $400.00 . Serial # k= 1953 ? How did I do ?
Not bad, not wonderful (my opinion, of course). Probably better than average in today's gun economy. Refinishing generally hurts value unless the job is outstanding. Of course, if this is a shooter, doesn't really matter... but since you asked. Welcome to the club!
I just now bought a Marlin 39A and I would LOVE some info from all y'all that have done the leg work already.
BUT its too long a thread to read and try to find this information [ if already in print ].
So if any have a date of manufacture and any other pertinent information,it would be greatly appreciated.
This is in VERY nice shape,and I see no dings or rust or even evidence of use = yet .
Serial # is 0609####
Not sure if you can see the initials stamped into the barrel,they appear to be I B ?.
06xxxxxx serial number should be 1994 year of manufacture. That barrel pic is rather blurry, and I can't begin to make out any initials. Welcome to the club!
I am just removing the cheap scope it came with whilst I see if I can get a Skinner sight sent from the USA to the UK ( I prefer my lever guns without a scope)
Looks like they do - and it does not cost an arm and a leg. You will see the options when you check out of your online shopping cart. Welcome to the club!

It is true that this thread is huge, and it can be hard to find info. Marlin Owners Forum and Rimfirecentral are both good resources to use.
Good shooting to all.
