I bought my 39A Mountie brand new in Wyoming in 1969 for about $125. I shot it a lot back then , but haven't fired it in over 30 years. I've taken good care of it and it still looks like new. Wonderful firearm, a classic beauty. I'm 78 and it'll eventually belong to my son or grandson. Thanks for the video; I enjoyed it.

My father bought me my 39A Golden Mounty when I was sixteen years old. I'm in my 70's now and still have the gun and still love it. I've fired tens of thousands of rounds through it with virtually no malfunctions. You may think that my estimate of the number of rounds is inflated, however, I grew up with this thing when you could by a sleeve of 500 rounds for under ten dollars. It was the usual thing to shoot the entire sleeve on one outing... It's a great gun and I'll be giving it to my son when I don't need it any more.

George Henry. On my 10th birthday. My dad took me to a hardware store to get me my first 22. The catch was, i had to wait for Christmas to get it. I saw that 39a and wanted it worse than the breath of life itself. When I came downstairs on Christmas morning, There was a Mossberg Bolt action under the tree. I didn't care. I was out the back door with my very own 22 rifle. It was a couple of years later that I figured why the switch was made. the Marlin cost 90 dollars in 1957 and that was a lot of money in those days. The Mossberg cost 30 dollars.and it used a box Magazine which my dad figured i9 would be less likely to leave a round in the gun,

My father gave me his Golden 39A Mountie a few weeks ago, I was very honored. I am 60 years old, dad bought that gun the year I was born (1954) and I have many memories of that rifle, and dad taking me rabbit hunting when I was a grade schooler. I had a single shot Savage 22 that dad gave me for Christmas when I was 12 years old, he told me I would learn to shoot and hit the first time with only one bullett. I still have that Savage, I have kept very good care of it. As for dad's Marlin, It is in very good condition, there is one dent and a couple of small scratches on the original walnut stock but other than that looks like new. I got it out yesterday, gave it a good cleaning and oiling. I also had to tighten a couple of screws in the loading and firing mechanism. The screw that holds the lever handle pivot was almost to fall out. Great video!

I disassembled dad's rifle last week, gave it a thorough cleaning and oiling. A couple of minor scraches and one very small dent in the front stock under the barrel but I guess that gives it character. Otherwise it looks almost new. Bought a nice padded scabbard (I guess you call it) to keep it in. I have some rural hillside property with no houses around, I am going to take this rifle out there in a few days fire a few rounds through it.

A 1950s era Mountie was the first rifle I ever fired. My dad still has it. I bought a newer version back in the 1980s.

The levergun was designed by Erma of Germany. Some years after Ithaca stopped production Iver Johnson picked it up and marketed it as the "Wagonmaster". It is basically the same rifle that Henry is producing today. I shoot it from time to time. It's fired many .50 cents a box 22lr when I was young.

My Dad worked in the ballistics lab of the California state crime lab back in the early 70's. One day he was driving home from work in Sacramento and stopped to get some gas. An older gentleman was parked next to him and had a rifle in a rack in the back of his truck. They talked and at that time I was 5 so he traded him his S&W .38 special for a 39A Golden made in the year of my birth...1967. I started shooting it at 6 and I've taught all 4 of my kids with it. I have a LOT of firearms. I shoot competitively thousands of rounds per annum but STILL love shooting it. There are only 3 rifles I'll never sell...this is differently one of them.

My old man has an older standard 39A. So I needed to have an older one too. Rather than a new one. I won one off gunbroker for 880 last year. I thought it was pretty high, plus with the shipping&transfer fee. When I received the rifle, it was immaculate. The stock has a beautiful tiger stripe wood grain in it. It was a little dirty but I soaked all the parts in kerosene and it's like new again. I think it was a 1965. Can't really remember. Well anyways. About 2 months go by of shooting the rifle and having a blast with it .. and the guy I won it from ended up calling me back. I guess i missed a couple emails from him too, don't check it too often (oops) . He was telling me the transaction had never went through! I guess I didn't pay for it. Even though I read him off my credit card. Well he was so happy that I replied to his call, he totally thought he just lost out. He ended up crediting me only 750 for the rifle. I'm happy, He's happy. It was good deal! Awesome video

I own 3 Marlin 39s - a 1960 Golden 39A Mountie, a 1978 Golden 39M and a 2000 Golden 39AS. All great guns. Of interest, post 1988 39s with the cross bolt safety aren’t bad, though 39s produced after Marlin was acquired by Remington/Cerberus Capital went downhill fast. Apparently the move to production in Alabama revealed a labor force incapable of doing the machining that Marlin did back at the Hartford, CT, plant. The poor 39AS went the way of the dinosaur in 2016. Like a lot of fun products eg the Etch-A-Sketch, it fell victim to vulture capitalism.

Found a nice one at a local pawn shop (in the vicinity of Minnesota) but lost out on it because I thought I'd wait for the price to drop a bit. Should have snapped it up because value can only one direction on these old gems.

I have a 1958 Marlin golden 39-a mountie that I am looking for a scope base mount, I've been looking but I cant find. Does anyone know what brand and model that I need.

Try Numrich gun parts. I have had luck with them. I just got a Annie Oakiey 9422 barrel from them and it was a reasonable price.

I accidentally picked up one last year buying it sight unseen , I paid 300.00 for it , had the rail on top with an old weaver 4 x scope , I was pleased it was a straight stock , but didn't know what it was , always wanted a "Mountie" , in a rush to leave I didn't look at it until I got it home , removed the scope , and upon inspection , noticed it said Marlin Golden 39M , started looking it up , according to serial number it was made in 1975 , it shoots s. l. & lr. , not a magnum as the M might suggest , that turned out to be the 1894M , in .22 magnum , I watched one on gunbroker last week go for 2,250.00 , WOW , any way , mine doesn't say "Mountie' , it is a straight stock and lever , also has a 20" barrel , I guess that is close as I will come to getting a "Mountie" , oh well , I'm pleased , take care big man , always a pleasure . One last note , the Marlin I really would like to have , but will never be able to afford , is the Bicycle gun , 16" octagon take down with leather bicycle bar carry pouch , You can go view it on the youtube channel Forgotten weapons with Ian , really interesting video . Merry belated Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours , keep on plinking .

I have a Marlin 39. HS 20293 serial number. Tang sight. Checkered forestock. Octagon barrel. It was my dads and was handed down to me. Guessing it from somewhere between 1932-1939. Anybody know what it could be worth? It does have some nicks and scratches.

What I meant to ask is where on the gun can the serial number be found thank you
