Them ain't banjos you're hearing. It's the castanet-like sound of someone's brain rattlin' around in his haid, coupled with the harmonious sound of flappin' lips. ;O)
My 39A is about 5 years old. Found it used in my favorite rural gun shop, in as-new condition for $300 a few years ago. Even got the box'n stuff with it. The ones in the new rack, were around $400 at the time. Shoots like every other M39 I've ever had my hands on: Very well.
Only problem I had, was with some old PMC Predator ammo. Now and then one wouldn't extract. Everything else shoots fine in it and pops right out.
