Marlin 39A .22 Lever Action

This is a vintage Golden 39A from the year 1959. The 39 set the standard for what a .22 lever action is supposed to be.

Thanks. I just had one of these given to me by my uncle. He got it for his 12th birthday present in 1955. What a quality piece and you've certainly confirmed my thoughts.

[@tombenton4315]

Great summation of an iconic gun. My father gave me one when I was 12. I mounted a Weaver J 2.5 ost and crosshair scope with tip off rings. To say that rifle was accurate is a gross understatement. Harvested 14 squirrels one season with 15 shots. The extra shot was tomdislodge the dead squirrel from the fork in a limb. Used to shoot with a law enforcement friend who owned a Remington bolt gun, 581 I think. He could not match up with the 39 A plinking at objects out to 50 yards. I agree the Marlin looks better naked, but since I cut my teeth on the gun with a scope I will leave it mounted. My 39 A looks like it came from the showroom. Cleaned it after every outing and at 68, I know this gun will outlast me.

[@jerrymayo4571]

LOVE the Golden 39A and the MOUNTIE even more! The first weapon I owned, paid for with my own money for the huge sum of 80/90 dollars, I was 12 years old when I rode my bicycle to the gun shop, walked in, picked out the Mountie, laid my cash down and peddled it home! MY MY MY how things have changed. This gun, the Mountie, and the Winchester 9422 are very pricey today. Buffalo, I really enjoy your videos, your style, the information you share, and the overall quality. THANK YOU

[@gmanky]

Ultimate Family Heirloom. An Investment. American Walnut and Steel. Something proud to pass down. Quality and Craftsmanship you don't see today. No truer words spoken. Great video, sir. Keep doing what you do.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I'm always happy when someone offers me up a classic firearm like this one to take to the Buffalo Range. When my friend said he was bringing me his 39a I was thinking --- oh no, can I do that rifle justice? It's such a great piece of Americana.

Sir, Along about 1969 I was twelve, mowed yards in the neighborhood earning enough($50)to buy my first rifle and bought a Marlin 39A from a friend, sold it a few years back ($350) because I found a 39A in amazing condition with a butt stock that you’ve never seen the likes of (four eyes it black walnut). It also has nice bluing, year of manufacture being 1961, mounted a 4x Leopold and a good leather strap, drive tacks.

[@hermanprez]

I got my Golden 39A in 1971 for a high school graduation present. It is a beautiful gun that is about as quiet as a pop gun. It has had less than 500 rounds run through it. I have many guns but it was my first and favorite.

[@SuperLaplander]

One of the best gunchannels on my list. Mr buffalo is so sound and relaxed, makes it a joy to watch. Sir, you deserve a much larger audience.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you very much.

[@joesphdudas8039]

The 39A is a benchmark rifle it was Annie Oakley's rifle for trick shooting and small game, a beautiful .22 worth it's weight in gold where the lead meets the target. What fun. Nice review thanks the Quiets are the best out of the 39A .

[@garychiuminatto917]

I just saw your video on the Marlin 39A. You did a great job as always. I own one and a Marlin 39TDS. I thought I was getting a Marlin Mounte when I bought the 39TDS but found out otherwise after I purchased it. Some of the people on line have said it isn’t as accurate as the Mounte or the full size 39A but since it only has a 16” barrel I don’t expect it to be. It’s still a great gun, excellent craftsmanship and great for hiking and backpacking. It goes in a floating case like the Papoose model which is another plus. A tip that might help on windy days is a foam rubber cap for you microphone. I don’t know if they make them to fit yours but if not some 1/4” soft foam rubber wrapped around and over your mike will work just as good for home made. I’m not bothered by the wind noise, it’s something you encounter when filming outside. The foam rubber cap on the mike will hopefully satisfy those people that have trouble with the wind. Keep up the great work.

[@bullseyedixon5660]

I bought one new in 1978, best rifle ever made imho. These rifles are precision instruments.

[@paladin4570]

A very good video. A beautiful 39A. I’m 72 and as a kid, saw a Marlin brochure that showed holding the butt in one hand, ejection port down. Set the barrel against a table with a cloth. Grasp barrel with offhand. A gentle push separates while you have a firm grasp with both halves.

[@justindurante1740]

I just got a mint new in box 39a on auction for $1000 can't wait till it arrives

[@dalesearcy5734]

I just found this old video here on KZbin. Back in the mid 80's I was looking for a lever .22. The shop had a Winchester, a Marlin and a Browning to choose from. It was an easy choice for me to go with the Marlin as it was a full size rifle and the action was great. I still have it and recently added a ghost ring style sight to help my 71 year old eyes see my targets.

[@Noneya570]

That the gun I learned how to shoot with back in the '60s. Hasn't seen daylight in a good while, time to go plinking.

[@rodgerburkley8939]

Great intro/highlight overview on an American Classic! A family heirloom for sure. I ended up with my "39 Century Marlin" (1970 Bi-centennial model) thanks to my Dad. It's a bit of history AND great for shooting today. Workmanship is second to none for sure. Marlin and Henry Repeating Arms (i.e., Golden Boy) go nice together as iconic level action rifles and GREAT, fun 22s. Thanks for this clip (BTW...wind noise wasn't bad...:-) ).

[@KolyaNickD]

I am so glad you fired those quiet rounds. Exactly what I was wondering about and then you did! Need a gun like this to teach my nephews to shoot.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks! Your nephews will thank you as well!

[@johncoleman8174]

I bought a 1969 Golden 39A Mountie (straight stock carbine, 20" barrel) brand new in Wyoming for about $125. I haven't fired in in 30+ years (I'm 78) and it will eventually go to my son or grandson. It's a precision piece and a thing of classic beauty. Thanks for your video.

[@allenbryant]

I have a 39A that was my Dad's and I recently put a Skinner sight on it and love it. I really like shooting shorts through it, with the longish barrel they make very little noise. I enjoy your videos

Casablancas Remington bought out marlin a few years back and I believe moved production to a new USA location, word was there were a few tolerance issues at first.hopefully the issues have been resolved.

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

@@randyblackburn9765 With Remington's recent bankruptcy, they sold all of Marlin to Ruger for as little as $27 Million. I'm hoping that Ruger takes advantage of it and puts out some lever-action rifles, they'd pair very well with their revolvers.

[@randyblackburn9765]

@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine that would be good to see but probably be hard to equal the old pre receiver safety JM s

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

@@randyblackburn9765 Probably won't, but I know Remington didn't treat Marlin very well, I know of at least one instance of a guy ordering a rifle through his FFL, then when it shows up, the rifle, which has a straight grip stock, has the lever for a curved grip on it. That always stuck in my mind, along with all kinds of other things I heard about "Remlin" rifles over the years. I figure they will probably be decent.

[@jimellis1442]

Father gave me one for Chrismas 1959. It was stolen from me in 1969 when I went to VietNam. Can not tell you how much I enjoyed that gun. Great presentation, great gun. I am in the market for one now and hope to find a vintage 1959 or 1960. Most accurate gun I have ever owned.

[@MusicMinisterJP7]

Awesome accurate rifle.. I love mine. I also shot at a pan someone left at 100yds at the range, and never missed. I recommend it. It's a keeper if you now have it.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

That's some good shootin', thanks for the comment!

[@aver3029]

Grew up with the 39A and it is the best in accuracy and reliability over the decades. Shot lots of cottontail in CO as a boy. The large thumbscrew is invaluable for breakdown and cleaning. In the 1970s they had micro-groove rifling w/rear semi-buckhorn sights. The sights took getting used to but when I did they were always right on the money. Never jammed.

[@fdmackey3666]

I purchased a 1947 edition of the 39A just yesterday and ordered a few parts for it few minutes ago. My rifle needs a little mechanical love and maybe a refinishing of the stock and forearm thanks to a previous owner but I'm sure that once I'm finished with my new old rifle I'll be very satisfied indeed. I really enjoyed this video by the way. Take care and keep 'em comin'!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Awesome! A little TLC can go a long way on one of these. I'd love to see that rifle. Thanks for doing your part to bring an old classic back to life and thanks for watching my video.

[@steveyaworsky6170]

Nicely done on your video, and that's a gorgeous ol' 39A. I cut my teeth shooting one very much like that, and you can bet mine will definitely stay in the family. Forgive me if someone else already posted this, but the Marlin 1891/39/39A is the longest continuously produced long gun in America. There's definitely something to be said for that. The 1891 you mentioned with the loading gate was only made the first year, and then they changed it to top loading for the reasons you mentioned. I attend the Beinfeld Antique Arms Show in Las Vegas every January, and have seen two of them for sale in the past two years. I'd give my left arm to own one of them, but then again I'm quite happy with my 39A. Thanks again for your outstanding video.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you for taking a minute to leave the well written comment! The 39A is Americana.

Man I'm glad to see these rifles, they were REAL Marlin lever guns. The new ones have gotten a lil better than they were a few years back. Thanks Buffalo and I always enjoy your videos...seems like we have the same taste and appreciation for firearms!!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

It sounds like we have a lot in common. I do have a deep appreciation for these types of firearms. I enjoy the new firearms as well but it just feels good to pay my dues and shoot these classic firearms that got us where we are today.

[@freshfowler1398]

Amen brother!

[@sonnygunz9207]

I usually wouldn’t care for a 22lr with a 24” barrel. When it comes to the Marlin 39a, I wanted it because it has a 24” barrel. Shooting subs, quiets & shorts it’s a lot quieter than 20” and under guns. The 39a is probably the most useful 22 ever made. There are other great 22 lever guns (9422 BL22 to name a couple) but with shorter barrels they’re not quite as handy in noise sensitive applications. I own plenty of suppressors but there’s nothing better than blued steel and walnut.

[@MegaBait1616]

Buffalo, you did your homework on the 39a. btw, looks better w/o the scope.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Hey thanks man.

Hi Buffalo, thank you for another fine video. Question for you. I am looking at one of these to buy, but oddly instead of a JM stamp on the barrel, there is only an M. It has to be a Marlin because first of all it was discontinued prior to Remington taking over, and, it says New Haven, Conn. USA on the barrel. Have you ever heard of this?

I got one the carbine my second gun I must have been ten or eleven the first was a sport king. Well it's my understanding that 100 plus years ago target shooting was big rifle and of course it would shoot 22 shorts so the takedown feature feature is another advantage. And it is great you can leave all the bullets in it comes right apart stick it together and start shooting

[@ditchdigger93]

I lost my dad this morning, brought his old Marlin 336 30-30 and a Marlin Golden 39 M home this afternoon. I was about ten when we bought the 30-30 for dad for Christmas. Me my brother and my mom spent all the money we had on it. ( I'm 65 now ). It's killed a LOT of deer over the years I assure you and it will belong to my grandson someday. I had a Golden 39A in my younger years and I always thought that was what dad's was but I'm learning it is not. It is what they called the ( Mountie Model ). NO idea how old it is but it has the stupid warning on the barrel but doesn't have the goofie cross bolt safety. After some serious cleaning and a bath in CLP , Pristine Condition. Eight Digit Serial Number so I'm guessing it's not a really early example.

[@rider660r]

My father used his iron sight 39 to hunt rabbits all the time even though he had a great shooting 60's era 12ga. 870 Wingmaster,but he only used it for shotgun shoots. Been a lot of years since I shot that 39,may have to dig it out some day.

[@rider660r]

Ohh At the distance in the video he was also able to knock the primer out of a 12ga shell perfectly,offhand.He'd often knock apples out of the tree for us by shooting the stems.They were damn good shooting .22's that'll rival about anything made since. Just realized that 39 is missing the hood on the front sight. IDK if they were standard in the beginning or if they took it off for some reason as it doesn't interfere with a scope.

[@mishooter4774]

That's just a classic looking gun. It's got the white outline's on the butt stock and around the pistol grip. The furniture on it is just outstanding. The thing with lever guns is that no matter the manufacturer, there lines of there lever gun haven't changed since the late 1890's or so give or take. If you look at that 39A vs your 1894 there's a lot of lines that are the same, you can tell it's a Marlin. Nice video.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Used to have the 9422 win my wife's cousin came with an old beat up marlin 39A and wanted to trade for my Remington 308 made the trade and refurbished the 39A the numbers are so worn but 39A is just barely visible it also shows micro groove inside the action looks like new it shoots well I use aquila powderless shooting at home happy camper
