marlin 39A or CZ 457lux

[Neumann]

I have a JM 39A and a CZ456. Both are well made, fun to shoot, and accurate. Once the CZ is broken in, it's is smooth as silk to operate.

If you clean the Marlin 39A from the muzzle, without breaking it down, be sure to clamp the extractor down by turning the mysterious screw head 1/4 turn. I broke mine, and it took a year to get a replacement.

I only have one 39A, an 1897 Texan (like a Mountie with an octagon barrel). It's a good shooter (and not bad to look at). You can't go wrong with a good Marlin (& all mine are JM's).

I'm a .22LR junkie. I have quite a few. Back in the '70s I had a Marlin 39A which I loved to shoot. It left in a long-ago gun trade. For years I have had some pangs of remorse, and I have considered replacing it.

Can somebody please educate me as to the going rate on an excellent condition 39A?

Thanks,
Curly

Gunrunnerauctions.com in Ohio has a Marlin 39A listed as Item #26 in its current online auction.

Good luck if you bid on this. Sometimes you can get a good deal. I know I got a great deal on the S&W Model 41 I just acquired through them.
