Nice old full-size rifle - is it worth the $395 asking price? ![[Linked Image]](http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy65/Weathergsr/Marlin%2039A_zpswtyl56sj.jpg) Sorry, couldn't get any more pics, but the rest of the rifle is as nice as what you see here. What do you think?

Is this a trick question?
I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

Not a trick question - I just don't know what these go for, although I've always wanted one.

Check it out to make sure it functions properly and doesn't have any issues with the crown or magazine tube, but that said $500 would be a "good" price for that rifle - $395 is a great price.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

Hopefully, that 39A has made it to your crib by now.

Waiting for a check to arrive. If it's still there by the time I get paid, it will be mine!

The M39 carbine and monte carlo were $80 in 1962.
At 3% they would be $372 now.
But those rifles are not going to appreciate at 3% like normal guns, guitars, and Gold. They are more like the snake Colt revolvers.
Expect to pay double for a nice old one ~~$750

Early Marlin 39's are great rifles, my college room mate and I shot a carload of Colorado prairie dogs with his 39.
