four 39's
Well I got over to Longtown in Perry Co Missouri and did find all four to be as noted. It was a garage sale posted on the Panera Bread Company "for sale" board in Crystal. Elderly person selling out, (I am 70). The weapons were as I earlier mentioned. They were 90%, one of them had a small chip on the r-side of stock where the wood abuts the metal. They were clean with bright bores. Functioned well. They were family firearms. I told the gentleman that they were worth more than he was asking, showed him blue book, and showed him current gunbroker asking prices. He said "this is what I am asking" so I got them for average of 275.00 each.
Check one of my posts from Novemeber 2012 where in I was at Gander Mountain retail store in Savage Mn. At that store some grandson had sold grandpaps 39's. There were at least five or six 39's in very good to shape.
So what I am saying, is that these things are out there if you take the time to look around.
This week I was in a shop in Park Hills Mo and saw a long magazine Marlin in 38/40. Again this stuff is around. I know I am not telling you anything new, you just have to look around a weebit.
