Looked at a Marlin 39A Mountie made in 1957 today. Asking price was $525.00
Beautiful gun, perfect shape, shiny stock, no dings, but something bothered me about it.
The barrel band, lever, hammer, trigger, bolt, and takedown screw were all chrome-plated/shiny silver.
I've never seen that before on a Marlin 39A. Typically all I've seen are blued.
Is that normal, or did somebody pimp this thing out at some point through the years?
Good deal, or no?
