This 39A has been an ongoing project rifle for me for 40 years. It's had every kind on sight, scope, etc. that one can imagine. It's current configuration is .22 LR version of my 45-70 Marlin 1895 Cowboy with Marble tang sight. I had to fit a taller front sight to match the Marble tang sight on this gun.
Some years ago, I drilled and tapped a hole in front of the trigger. I put a set screw in the hole to act as a trigger stop. It works great. That trigger, while not exactly an Anschutz, isn't that far behind. It's the best, clean breaking 2 1/2# trigger with no overtravel I've ever felt on a Marlin 39A. The stock is a Fajan, back when you could get them. I fitted it to this gun while still a youngster and tried my hand at checkering. Not the best, but not that bad.
Like most Marlin 39's, this one is super accurate, even shoots .22 shorts very well. I've had two rifles chambered for .22 shorts, one a Volquartsen, the other a Browning auto. This gun shot shorts better than either of them. I sold the .22 Short barrel and bolt on the Volquartsen, converting it to .22 LR and the Browning went down the road. This 39A is still here and will be here for the duration...
