Box, Paperwork & Accessories: None
Our Assessment: This is a Marlin Model 39A 2nd Model rifle. The 1st Model had a squared lever loop at the rear, the 2nd Model had a case colored receiver and a “B” prefixed S/N, and the 3rd Model had a front sight dovetailed into a ramped base on the barrel with serial number prefixes starting at “C”. Later variations had a fluted comb and white spacer under the buttplate and a grip cap. The 2nd Model was made only in 1941, with production stopped at the end of the year for conversion to military production. This 24” barreled rifle has a tubular magazine loaded at the front, with fixed sights, but is drilled, tapped and filled for aperture sights and a scope. This vintage takedown rifle shows some honest wear, but the action is tight and the bore is pristine. Since the 2nd Model was only made for a year, we think the Marlin collectors are going to jump all over this rifle. There weren’t that many made, and it might be years before they see another, let alone one in this nice of a condition.

As I understand it the serial numbers started from 1 to 10,000. Then for some reason they started adding an 'S' to the serial number. I have one that is numbered 'S948' The 'S' are the one's that will not shoot high vilocity rounds. The Marlin 39AS ( the ones with the crossbolt safety) came out in the late 1980's. https://treedrink257.weebly.com/slingo-supreme-2-free-download-full-version.html. If that's the one you have your serial # dates to 1992. If that's the one you have your serial # dates to 1992. The formula is 100-the first 2 digits of the serial # (100-08 =92) They are really nice rifles!
Firearm serial numbers were date coded by a prefix within the s/n, as signified below. For example a Marlin model 39A with a serial number of N1255X would have been made in 1955 while a 1894 in 44 magnum with a serial number of 2510509X, would have equated to 1975. You can date them by the letter prefix on guns made before 1969. Labelmark 6. From 1969-72 the first two digits were the year of mfg. From 1973 on the first two digits subtracted from 2000 will tell you what year it was made.

I've owned three of these over the years--stupidly let them get away for one reason or another. My LGS--the proprietor of which has a rack of used guns at mostly outrageously high prices--I think to keep the rack filled (it makes his small ship look better) had this 20' barreled Mountie on the rack for only a day or two when I spotted it. Surprise! A fair price--$400! I jumped all over it. There were a couple of spots of rust that cleaned up pretty well--the stock was pristine, and all in all, I think it was a gun that dated back to the 70's or 80's, hadn't been shot much and had been neglected a bit. I'm tickled to have found it. It now sports a Weaver 4X in Weaver mounts and shoots great with the right ammo. So far, German made Geco does the best.
