Further, in the event of a malfunction which prevents the breech from closing, takedown becomes impossible until the action can be cleared as the breech must be closed before takedown. The screw that allows the easy takedown, however, is frequently criticized as it disrupts the otherwise clean lines of the rifle. 22 rifles with easy takedown ability (it can be taken apart using a coin). The Model Golden 39A is built of forged steel parts and American grown black walnut.
The combination of these two factors arguably adds to the accuracy of the rifle and indeed the 39A's reputation would seem to bear this out. The rifling is also made to a 1 in 16" right hand twist. This rifling uses many small lands and grooves rather than 2, 4, or 6 deeper grooves used by the majority of rifle makers. Since the early 1950s Marlin has used their proprietary Micro-Groove rifling in the Model 39A. The Mountie has a magazine capacity of 20 Short, 16 Long or 15 Long Rifle. These rifles have been alternately called Model 39M or 1897 Mountie. Additionally "mountie" versions have been produced at various points in the rifle's life which featured a shorter 20" barrel and a straight stock. It is also the best-selling lever rimfire in U.S. The Golden 39A is still considered one of the finest examples of a lever. The Model 39-A did not have a cross hammer safety, whereas the current Golden Model 39A has had one since introduction in 1983. Changes between models were so minimal the rifle is considered to have been continually produced to the same basic specifications for over 100 years. The 39A was produced until 1983 when the current Golden 39A was introduced.
The Golden Mountie Model 39A was introduced in 1954. The 1892 gave way to the takedown Model 1897, which became the Model 39 in 1921 and Model 39-A in 1939. The tubular magazine was changed to front-loading with the Model 1892, due to the difficulties of receiver feeding the small rimfire round. 22LR and the magazine was loaded through a conventional side gate in the receiver. Thank you for all the pics! That cowboy model looks quite lovely! Don't forget that the 39A is the "Annie Oakley gun".The Golden Model 39A started life as the Marlin Model 1891, the first lever-action rifle ever chambered in. It is a total package which allows it to boast it's longevity - the longest/continuous production rimfire. The thing with the Marlin 39A isn't just it's accuracy with cheap ammo and lack of ammo fussiness, not just the take-apart ability, but also it's slab-sided handniness and shotgun-like ergonimics. This really helps in low light shooting because there is no rear sight to contend with. I have figured out that with my Lyman globe front sight, my Marlin fits me so well that I do not need the rear sights, that I can pop 3" spinners at 25 yards with the quickness of a shotgun trigger jerk. "We don't need no steeenkeeeeng silencers!" Here it is, completely legal with no tax stamps required. This is my number one reason why I love this rifle. The amount of metal encasing - nay, totally enveloping in overlapping steel - the round in the 39A action is waaaaaay more than any bolt gun, semi-auto action or any other lever action which makes it extremely quiet with. Mine is from the first year of production with the S-grip (also has Lyman Model 1a sights).
