Original Golden 39A New Member Question

Post by Primo »

Hi, new member with a question. I have a 1981 production 39A marked Original Golden 39A. It has extremely nice wood, golden trigger, no crossbolt. It is like new. It looks better and tighter than any other 39A I have seen. Were any of these a special run or limited editions. Not finding anything helpful in the usual places. Thanks

Primo;

Nothing special going on in 1981 for Marlin to promote, so you just got lucky with nice wood. Marlin often did have some nice wood around. Sometimes, factory personal would set extra nice wood aside for later use, but for the most part, they used whatever stock that came up on standard production guns.
Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!

The growing federal deficit = generational slavery to the national debt.

If the world was perfect.......it wouldn't be.
