Mi primer problema con la marlin 39a
He esperado durante un año y medio para recibir mi Marlin golden 39a.
En cuanto la tube fui al campo de tiro para probarla,la cargue con RWS R 50,fue perfecta, me encantó y se cumplieron mi espectativas,suave comoda y extrordinariamente precisa, pero cuando la cargué con CCI todo se me vino abajo,tenia que disparar dos y hasta tres veces para que saliera el tiro,cambie a R25(.22 corto),sin problema.Cuando cargué RWS SHORT tenia que extraer el cartucho disparado con la navaja porque no se podia sacar con el procedimiento de descarga.
Hoy está de camino al vendedor a ver si me la ponen bien.

My first problem with marlin 39a :: Translation
I have hoped during a year and means to receive my Marlin golden 39a. As soon as tube I went to the field of fire to prove it, the loading with RWS R 50, she was perfect, it enchanted to me and my espectativas were fulfilled, smooth cofashion and extrordinariamente it needs, but when I loaded it with CCI everything came to me down, tapeworm that to shoot two and up to three times so that it left the shot, changes to R25(.22 corto), without problema.Cuando I loaded RWS SHORT tapeworm that to extract the cartridge shot with the knife because podia not to remove with the unloading procedure. Today it is of way to the salesman to see if me they put it well.

I don't like CCI shorts either. They jam up pretty much everything I try to use them with.
Try some other ammo if you can get it, don't just sell the thing off.
OldWolf, you used an online translator? It's pretty far off
I can read the post but I can't type a reply back that's for sure!

I used Babel Fish. I liked the part about the RWS short tapeworm!
My M39 shoots tapeworms, I mean CCI shorts without a hiccup.

Problemas con la marlin 39a
Buenos dias Señores.
Hace una semana que he recibido la carabina del armero.Según la factura dice que le ha cambiado el muelle "mainspring".
Al dia siguiente la probé y continuaba fallando,aunque, menos con la CCI 22 l.r.
Decidí repararla yo mismo.Encontré mala terminación en las piezas,que tuve que limar y pulir,rebabas de mecanización,en el breech bolt.No llegaba a cerrar completamente cuando se cargaba.
Ahora,por fin,la estoy disfrutando,pero tengo que darle algun retoque donde entra la uña estrcatora en el cañón para que estraiga todas las vainas vacias.
Tengo la sensación de que este arma como venía para el extrangero,España,NO ha pasado un buen control de calidad.

I have a Golden 39A that I bought new over 40 years ago, and I have to say they improve with age and use.
I couldn't even guess how many rounds I've put through it over the years, but the action on mine is very, very smooth now that it's been "broken in"

Senor Quino, if the problem is ignition rather that feeding/cycling, my review from yesterday might help....the problem is rather common...

Per a buddy of mine, Quino said it does not function properly with CCI shorts, it does not extract the brass as it should and sometimes has to be extracted with a pocket knife.
If the case is partially loose and can be rotated with a knife/pick/awl/etc., and then falls out easily, the burred brass from the firing pin hit/strike might be hanging on something at the 12-o'clock, as mine did this exactly one time in over 500rds....since it hasn't happened again, I haven't worried about it....if it does, I'll look harder to see what's happening.....could just be the brass burr catching on the inside of the scope mount hole or cartridge guide spring....fix could be as easy as scraping a burr off the inside/top of the receiver or beveling the top edge of the firing pin....
Senor Quino, I was able to duplicate the extraction problem in my gun two times out of about 300 shots fired while slowly cycling the lever....what is happening in my gun is that the burr/ridge on the cartidge rim from the firing pin strike can hang on the the small flat spring inside the top of the gun, this spring called the "cartridge guide".
Using the firing pin indentation on the case rim, the case can be rotated to clear the spring, where it should come out easily instead of prying it out.
The repair should be simple on such a simple gun....that spring/cartridge guide is retained by a single screw through the top of the gun. First, make sure the screw is tight. Second, if not loose, remove the screw/spring and inspect for anything stuck behind it, pushing it down further than it should go. Third, simply filing/polishing a beveled edge on the bottom forward end of the spring should allow the case rim to slide past the spring/cartridge guide. If that doesn't easily fix the problem, order a new guide.
Caution....this is a flat spring, and any scratches left on the metal might cause the spring to crack during use...polish all work, and don't scratch up the spring.

With or without the Spanish lesson, the Marlin 39A is a very fine 22RF rifle and one that should last 10 lifetimes. Bought mine in 1955 for 65 bucks brand new. Sounds cheap today but putting 65 bucks together back then was big time savings and heavly expensive. Glad I got mine before some idiot decided to gold plate the trigger.

Just to add my voice to the throng, it's a great gun and I've had it since the late 50's . It's an L series (1954) and it's in great shape. I just put a new Bushnell 4x rim fire scope on it and it still puts em downrange right next to each other. The other gun in my collection that shares an equal place, is a Ruger single six (3 screw) 4 5/8 in barrel, also bought in the late 50's. I sent that back to Ruger for the "fix" (trigger bar safety, and although they sent all the original parts back, I kinda wish I hadn't done it.

Great rifle and one I won't get rid of while thinning out the herd. Bought it new in 1955 along with a new Chevrolet. The Marlin was a expensive rifle back then when 2.00 per hr was a living wage (sort of). The price today is not really any different than it was then. Just a dollar of diminished value due to inflation. The Chev was 1,500 bucks.

Mine was nice gun in the short time I had it--but traded it yesterday for a new Browning T-bolt.
Nice gun but I couldn't get past the tube loading process---what a pain in the rear.

Muchas gracias al Señor MTNGUNER
Señor MTNGUNER muchas gracias por hacer suyo mi pequeño problema de extracción en mi 39 con cartuchos SHORT de RWS.
Siguiendo su consejo revisé el fleje que guía la munición a la recamara del cañón.Lo desmonté y vi que tenía un canto muy vivo al final donde toca con la parte percutida del cartucho,haciendo que algunas veces no extrajera la vaina.
La acción que he tomado ha sido pulir dicho canto o final del fleje, y así el borde sobredimencionado por la acción de la aguja percutora no tope con el fleje.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH

imo, it is a great gun. top quality. buy one, and you wont be sorry. but again imo, there are a little pricey. if money is an issue, the henry is a nice little gun as well. it just is not the same quality as the marlin. you will find painted instead of blued parts, and plastic where there should be metal. but it does shoot pretty good. just depends on what you can live with.

Have owned two, very good, accurate and made of good US steel and wood. I did have a problem with one feeding cartridges, cured by replacement of an inexpensive part aft of the magazine tube on left hand rcvr when broken down. Simple fix, no further problem. Love the rifle.
