Welcome!
This is a "club" thread dedicated to the venerable and historic Marlin 39A (.22 LR) and related models.
Membership in this club is open to any one - owner or not - who has an interest in any model 39:
39A, 39AS, mountie...), and their ancestors (1891, 1892, 1897...)
I purchased my 39A recently. So far, I've only had two sessions with it at the range.
It's going to be my small game hunting rifle (especially squirrels & rabbits). I already love this rifle!
I want to learn as much about it as possible through reading and interaction with others
who own one (and those who don't but are interested anyway).
The goals of this club are to explore every aspect about this rifle:
its history, sights, stocks, slings, ammo, shooting tips,
upgrades, modifications (e.g., barrel shortening), repair issues, images, etc.
I plan to post some short essays here about those topics with relevant links to pages on THR and other web sites. I hope others will do likewise. This is a place to share information about 39s, learn, and have fun.
I'm reasonably sure there will be a few images posted herein, as well.
Here's a link to an image of my current gun "toolkit", one of which is my 39A.
(Context is important, I think. I'm attempting to gather a functional,
even if minimal toolkit that will meet all my needs.
I plan to add either a 617 or a K-22 to that kit,
and perhaps a K-frame at some point.)
(Suggestion (not a requirement):
Please consider posting thumbnails only instead of embedding images into your post
in addition to thumbnails. That will significantly increase page loading times.
If you need any help understanding how to do that, just ask or send a PM. Thanks. )
OK, ready or not, here we go ...
