I found a 9422, S/N F44XXX (1972 I believe) in somewhat sad shape for $250. It had a few major rust spots on it, pretty plain wood. I took it home, smoothed the rust spots and reblued with cold blue, mounted a Williams FP rear sight to the tip-off mount grooves and took it to the range. It was too cold and windy to do more than function check it and get a preliminary zero, but it worked fine. I still prefer my Marlin 39A and 39M, but I will be keeping this one, too.
