I don't shoot well with regular iron sights and like the looks of that rear peep. What kind is it and how do you like it? Also, how well does it work in the early morning or late evening?

Your's has the same hole pattern on the right side of the receiver as mine. Extra holes I think are for a peep sight. Your trigger should be gold, on your barrel it's marked Golden 39M, the Golden stands for a gold trigger, a regular 39A or 39M has a black trigger. Still looks like a nice one.

I keep calling mine a 39A but it's actually a Golden 39M (guessing that's for Mountie).
The one I've picked up ('82) doesn't have the safety and it looks they made this version up to around 1987. In the book that was referenced, it didn't say anything about a gold trigger so I take it mine just came with the standard black trigger but I could be wrong.

I'm not sure about the when, where, and if on the black trigger. But the differences on the 39A Mountie and the 39M are the Mountie has a heavier barrel, the lever on the Mountie is rounded, and the stock is different. I had a 39M that I recently gave to my grandson that had a Lyman peep sight, and would take prairie dogs at 100 yards without incedent. Tim

Love the older M39A rifles. Put a aperture sight on and they are a natural small game rifle...

I've said this one here too many times, but my 1960 39A Mountie with Redfield 70 and sourdough insert is the absolute last 22 I would ever let go. It might be the last rifle I would ever let go. Completely stock except for a trigger job.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

Nebraska, I've got two 39M's made in 1982 and they both have the black trigger. Some years had the black trigger instead of the gold trigger. Another 39M I own, made in 1976, has the gold trigger. Those screws on the top of the receiver are identical to those on my 39M's. Your rifle is, however, missing the front sight hood. The correct replacement would be one with a flattened appearance. Nice rifle!

I have one. My father ordered this special edition rifle back in the 1960's when I was a kid and I know it took him MONTHS to get this rifle. As you can see by the photo, the stock is very unique and after researching this rifle online, I have yet to see one. Marlin Golden 39-A Mountie by M-I-C-H-E-L-E, on Flickr

Nice rifle, but you do realize this thread is over a year old? Not that it matters any.

Welcome, Michele,
Thanks for sharing that picture. This thread was worth resurrecting.
My M-39A was made in 1949, has the blued trigger and Ballard rifling (pre Micro-Groove, introduced in 1954). I have a Lyman rear peep and a Williams red Firesight front sight. The action is very smooth and has never had any problems. It is one of my favorite rifles.

Sooo, a Mountie is not a 39M?
My dad has the short barreled takedown with the floating padded case. It has the crossbolt safety. We always called it a Mountie, but I guess that is incorrect?

Here's my golden. It has the dreaded rebounding hammer and ultra gay crossbolt safety but I still really like the rifle. I have Ghost X-ring sights on it.

I'm guessing that is the 39TDS, a LOT more rare than a mountie, ESPECIALLY if you still have that case. 16in barrel, IIRC, I've never actually seen one.
