Sounds like an interesting rifle... The D is the only one of the 39 series I have not owned because I don't care for pistol grip stocks on leverguns...

So the gun is question has a 20" barrel with a dovetail front sight like the Carbine, full length magazine tube but instead of a pistol grip stock and lever it is straight like a Mountie or Carbine.

Nice...Bob
