Picked up a new (OLD!) rifle yesterday at Vigilant Tactical (<Kudos!). This 1979 Marlin Golden 39A rifle had apparently been stored wrapped in a blanket for what was obviously a LONG time, until the owner died and the rifle was found by his wife, who did not know there was a firearm in the home. Looked like several generations of critters had lived in the bore and there was lots of surface rust. This model is pre-cross bolt safety and the barrel is "JM" stamped. It cleaned up very nicely, especially the bore.
This is my first lever gun. I'm impressed with how solid and well-made this rifle is. Do they still make them like this?
Plan is to add an aperture sight and shoot it in NRA Silhouette.
