Marlin carbines are a dime a dozen, at least in comparison to those with 24" barrels.
The 24" barrel far out numbers the 39A's in the 20" that come up for sale. If there is a Mountie at a show for sale people will be on it fast. They also seem to always be a higher price than a 24" rifle. The Mountie has the "cowboy look" that appeal to almost every one. I like them to. I have lost out on a few Mounties by making the second pass through a show only to find some one else grabbed it up. Sorry to say the carbines are not a dime a dozen even in my area where prices are a whole lot better than other areas of the country. In the last 10 yrs. of hitting the shows regular and LGS I have saw maybe a dozen 20" for sale.
