Filmjunkie4ever: Pardon my slow reply - our long Deer/Elk season here in Montana is now over.
I also love the Marlin Model 39's and have 5 (five) of them left nowadays.
I have a VarmintGrandSon who is showing left handed tendencies and I will certainly bequeath one of my 39's to him.
A year and a half ago my lifelong friend (who owned and then sold that Model 1897 I posted about) passed away.
I bought from his family a pair of his long guns and used one of them to harvest a dandy Pronghorn Buck.
I only wish I had the foresight and the dollars to buy that amazing Model 1897 from him back when it originally sold.
Long live Model 39 Marlins.

No worries!
I for one would love to buy a Marlin 39 for each of my kids, my wife and my siblings, and I will given that I find them and can afford them.
Everyone ought to have a .22, everyone.
