Marlin 39a, I have two a 52 and 57 vintage. Dad bought me the 52 version new when I was in the second grade. It's a standard rifle, the 57 model I bought off Gunbroker a little over a year ago, not the greatest price, but got one in probably 95-97% condition, and It's a Mountie. Got Lyman receiver sights on both.
As long as I could get a Marlin I would not consider a Henry, I prefer a steel receiver to the Zamak alloy of the Henry.
I wonder if the zinc based alloy of the Henry will stand the test of time that the Marlin has?
