Default Eat your heart out, new/old Marlin "Mountie" carbine.

Manufactured in 1964,had to replace a few screws on the top of the receiver, had them in my kit. Cleaned a bit of light rust from the left side of the receiver. Perfect wood, all correct.

90% plus, all for the princely sum of:

$ 100 American dollars.

Even a blind squirrel, can occasionally find a nut.

A great, classic rifle at an astounding price. You realize, though, that without pictures, it never happened.

Better throw a bit extra in the plate this Sunday...

That's outstanding!

Lee, don't think I will. To neat a small carbine to do that.

As I said, I may scrounge up a tang sight for it.

Grand Larceny!!

That is an absolute beauty. In my estimation, those guns represent at least the same level of American firearms craftsmanship as S&Ws of the same era.

Congratulations on a good'un!

Yep, it's a Golden.

You can't see it in the photo, but there is a small felt "stick on" where the stock meets the brick.

And it went on the brick VERRRRYYYYYY carefully.

As to is there more ? I'll never tell, until I get 'em all...........

The 39A got lonesome. It wouldn't go outside without protection.....It was afraid some of you would steal her.

Three 66-4's, two three inch, one 2 1/2 inch.

The shorter barrel is wearing Uncle Mike's combats, the next to the right, Crimson Trace Laser Grips, the next Spegals.

Great guns.
Longer one is a 39A
Shorter is a 39A Mountie
Both from the early 50s

They can be Fantastic shooters! ! ! ! !

John, you didn't find a nut; you stumbled on to a whole bag of Purina Squirrel Chow.
