Marlin 39 Centennial
Alright ladies and gents. a Marlin 39 Centennial edition (shooter, ding and scratches but very good condition for its age) followed me home today, and I am very excited ! I don't really care for safe queens, but do take good care of my guns. The bluing is in great shape, the medallion is fantastic, the gold has worn off of the trigger and the wood has dings and shows use. The overall patina looks great to me, but shows it has seen a bit of use -overall I paid way too much for a .22 but I am pleased. It matches my old Daisy Buffalo Bill BB gun and my SS Marlin 30-30. Anything specific I should know about this rifle ?

Its a Marlin 39. Nicer than most of the stuff made today. Shoot the hell out of it. If you get bored of it, you'll probably make your money back on it since collectors go wild for older Marlin 39's.
My dad picked up a pre-Remington Marlin 39M about 8 years ago for $250. Damn near stole that thing lol

They're hellishly expensive for what they are, but very nice. Not a ton of options for nice 22 levers out there

Just be careful, if you tear down the gun for cleaning, to not over tighten the thumb screw. If it's too tight, the action may bind. Too loose and the gun can have feeding issues. There's a sweet spot that's different for every Model 39. Tighten it enough that the action cycles and feeds without issue.

Re: Marlin 39 Centennial
The Henry H001 is a full pound less than the Marlin 39A. Even back in the day when I was bench pressing 400lbs, that little bit of difference would have been welcome after a full day of hunting squirrels and rabbits. I'm old and fat now and can't bench as much, so that extra pound is even more welcome these days.
Oh, and if Biden gets his way, once he bans all the nasty, evil, assault guns and their 30 round clipazines, with the "shoulder thing that goes up", leverguns won't be far behind. So I wouldn't quote him on anything unless it's "I concede the election."

Ithaca M-49's RULE! I bought a used one at a flea market when I was a kid for (If I remember right) $10 and my Mom had to help me with that. A couple boxes of short hollow point and we got awful tired of squirrel at the end of that year.
