My latest find

[jg rider]

I know this isn't a Kahr, but... I just got this .22 Marlin this past week end. I've been looking for a reasonably priced one for a long time. It's an adult sized and weight.






Here it is with My Marlin 1894 .44 mag. All I want next is an older .38/.357 Marlin


Scope will probably go. I'll fill in the rear sight dove tail cut and do the peep sight thing Like I did on the.44 mag.

How sweet it is and a take down model too. Very cool. I'm with ya on the scope. Just don't fit on a lever gun to my eye.

Looks in super nice shape.

[KingWulfgar]

I am jealous. I think my small collection needs a lever gun--I'm thinking .357 mag as well.

[leftysixty]

Classic excellence!

I gave up finding the vintage Marlin in 38/357 and bought a Rossi R92 in .44 mag last February. If that magic Marlin shows up, I'm still in the market.

I wish I could afford to shoot my .22's ...... (who woulda ever believed you could reload centerfire a lot more readily, and danged near as cheap as .22 lr?)

Thats a beauty.

Congrats, the 39A has an excellent reputation.
Nice work on the "Dutchman" for the 1894. A fine brace of rifles you have there.
Regards,
Greg

^^^^. Yeah good luck finding one in .357. They are really scarce around here. Ohio approved straightwall cartidges for deer hunting this year so even the Rossi's are snapped up. But there are lots of used shotguns around.

I missed out on an older one last week. It was in a pawn shop. Didn't last one day there. $ 625.00 out the door.
From all the reading I've done about Remington buying Marlin convinces me not to buy one made by Remington since 2010

Good find!

Love those older Marlins - gave my 336 .30-30 (bought new in 1968 for $65) to one of my sons a few years ago.

[CPTKILLER]

I had one. They are superb rifles.

I bought my 39A (new) in the mid-80s. The wood on yours is considerably nicer than the stock that came on mine. You have a keeper.

Geez !
I read about how accurate these older 39A's were but I didn't realize how much. I wrote earlier about taking the scope off and installing a receiver sight on it, I changed my mind.
I just got back from sighting it in at 50 yds. ( poa, poi) Then I went out to 75 yds. Drop was less then 1 1/2". But the amazing thing were the groups. All hits were constantly touching. I took pics with my I phone but I don't know how to transfer them to my computer. This was with Win. 333 pack ammo. I think this rifle is almost or just as accurate as my old .22 Kimber of Oregon

[Bawanna]

All shots were touching what? The neighbors fence, nearby trees? What? Folks wanna know ya know.

[Alfonse]

Let me know if you want to retire that Kimber. I guess that it won't out shoot a lever action means I will just have it be a wall hanger, but it is purdy. Congrats on the new rifle. It is purdy too.
