39A Parts Date Question

Post by Swampman »

Can you tell me appx. what year these parts were made? The barrel is supposed to be a Micro-Groove. Let's presume they all came from one gun.

I AM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT YEAR BUT I DO KNOW FOR A FACT IT WAS ON A TUESDAY, ABOUT 200PM.
NOW.....HOW ABOUT A SERIAL NUMBER SINCE ALL THE MINDREADERS ARE AT THE RACE TRACK TODAY BRINGING HOME MONEY IN DUMP TRUCKS.

I posted over on RFC for you. Based on what I see and if the barrel rollmark says," Microgrooved", then it dates to the post Ballard-pre Golden era.....1954-1956.

The serial numbered part didn't come with them.

It looks exactly like my own Model 39, including the four plug screws in the side of the barrel. Mine was made in 1955.

That's a beauty. I intend to use some of these parts to restore my 1947 39A.

I hope the 1955/56 "upper" will fit my 1947 "lower."

I don't think the receiver design changed until 1988.

Not positive, but I seem to recall reading that the 39A's with barrels drilled and tapped for a Weaver N mount were made for Sears, Roebuck. Ring a bell with anyone?

That appears to be the case but you could also return any 39A to Marlin for drill & tap for $5.00 I believe.

Seeing the pictures of those parts kind of breaks my heart, but if you can use those parts to get another 39a back on the road, so to speak, then it's all good. Just talking about a 39a makes me feel all warm and fuzzy! :P
