Some years ago, I rigged a trigger stop for my Marlin 39. I drilled a tapped a set screw as shown. It works pretty well. I slicked up the trigger and it's about as nice a 39 trigger as I've ever handled. Not sure if anyone has done this. This rifle is really accurate and I like it a lot. I have a CDS set up for the Federal 38 gr. Game-Shok ammo which it likes, squirrels not so much. I fitted a Fajen cheek piece stock many years ago, checkered it. Those vintage 39's are really slick rifles. This one is a keeper. DF

Pretty fond of mine. Passed down from dad, he bought it new in 1969. I've never done anything to it, except mount a weaver steel tube 2x7 scope on it. Loves Stingers and Mini Mags. This trigger stop idea is interesting.

Good Morning Dirtfarmer,
I like the stock on your 39....looks like it would position your eye for scope use very nicely.
Best,
Chuck

Chuck You’re right, it does. About ideal. Unfortunate Fajen is long gone. I miss his stuff. DF
