With what has happened with Marlin I started looking. I have a pretty nice '57 M39. Really not a fan of "bling" but I ran across a pretty good deal on the NIB "39". Fit and finish is flawless. The checkering is perfect (machine or hand?). I hope to shoot on Wednesday.

Wow,that is a work of art.I'd buy a shooter 39 and keep this one in the box.Check out Gunbroker listing.

I already have a "shooter" as mentioned above. That one is priced high. I gave $1100 for mine.

How come EdM always gets the good ones?......

Very sharp looking rifle!

Always looking and with cash. Underpriced consignments of late. The three boys are grinning.

I wonder if Ruger will bring back the Marlin 39.I paid $125 for mine in 1975.They are great rifles.Well built and shoot great.

Oh geeze....that is PURDY!!

a handsome rifle!

That has to be the prettiest Marlin I have ever seen.

Very nice!

If I had something that gorgeous I would just have to use it.

Gorgeous rifle!
Congratulations

Is that a S&W model 15 or 18?

15

Similar to my M18. Which I have had since a teenager.

Wow. That's a beauty, Ed.

Freakin showpiece!!!

That's the nicest one I have seen, it would be even nicer if it just had the gorgeous wood without the rest of the bling. I have three 39s,non come close to the showpiece this one is but the their all shooters.

That furniture is fabulous, nice find!

Great find, well done
