Love those Mountie's!
Here's my 1946 M39 (pre "A" and pre white line spacers:) along with it companion K22 also mfg in 1946.
Still whacking Squirrels with the best of em.
I'm still getting along with peeps (barely) on the 39 and my 1894 but I've a 3-9 Sightron rimfire scope stashed away should that day come. I also have a 1-3X20 Weaver classic weighting for the 1894.
Enjoy that Mountie.
