I bought a Marlin 39-A this morning

After reading about the Marlin 39 series for so long, I thought that I should be trying one out for myself. This 39-A from 1952 came from a friend of mine who was setting up at the show this morning. The rifle is in really nice factory condition, and the only deliberate flaw it has is that someone electro-penciled their social security number on the side of the receiver. The lever action is very smooth, the hammer clicks solidly into the safety notch, and it has a good feel to it. I also figured that for $375.00 I would be able to get my money back should I ever find myself having to resell it. Time to buy some more brands of 22 ammo and try it out!
