Historical Background
The Marlin Model 39 Century Limited was released in 1970 to celebrate 100 years of Marlin Firearms (1870–1970). It was patterned after the famous Marlin Model 39, which itself is a descendant of the Marlin Model 1891, one of the earliest successful .22 lever-action rifles.
The Model 39 line is widely recognized as:
The oldest continuously produced shoulder-fired .22 rifle design.
A classic firearm used for hunting, small-game shooting, and early target competition.
A platform known for its solid construction, takedown design, and smooth lever action.
The Century Limited edition was made in relatively limited quantities (commonly cited as around 3,900–4,000 units, though exact numbers vary by source). It was designed as both a functional rifle and a commemorative collector piece. The octagon barrel and special markings echo 19th-century Marlin aesthetics.
Notable Characteristics of the Century Limited
Octagon barrel reminiscent of the original 19th-century Marlin rimfire rifles.
Gold-filled engraving on some units (depending on variant).
Right-side stock medallion commemorating Marlin’s centennial.
Limited production run, making it desirable among collectors of Marlin rimfires.
Fully functional shooter, built on the proven Model 39 action.
