Trying to find the correct screw (size) to attach a scope mount base to my pre-drilled Golden 39A; the serial number is a little odd in that it begins with a STAR and then is B 3820. Any info on the STAR in the serial #, or DOB info would be greatly appreciated as well.
THANKS,

Scope Mount BASE screw size?

Re: Scope Mount BASE screw size?
Well, thanks to the underwhelming replies here on the forum, I realized that I was "on my own". I ultimately was able to date my 39A AND find the correct scope mount BASE screws at the local hardware store. I figured out the correct date for my Marlin is 1966; now the micro-groove bbl makes sense. The serial # is AB 3820 (not B 3820 as I had originally thought). I confirmed that by taking out the sliding bolt and AB 3820 was 'electric penciled' in the bottom of the bolt. I had thought that 'A' (on the lower tang) was a star, but once I found the right number on the bolt, I knew it was not a star.
THANKS for your help,
