Manufactured when true craftsmanship was the standard, it features an ultra-smooth lever action, a gold-plated trigger, Micro-Groove rifling for pinpoint accuracy, and a takedown screw for easy cleaning.  Key Specifications & Features Caliber: .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle (LR) Capacity: 19-round tubular magazine (for .22 LR) Barrel Length: 24 inches Weight: Approx. 7 lbs (aids significantly in offhand steadiness and accuracy) Sights: Adjustable Buckhorn rear sight, hooded front sight; receiver drilled and tapped for easy scope mounting  Performance & Handling The 39A is widely considered one of the most accurate .22 rifles ever produced. The hefty 24-inch barrel and full-size wrist give it the weight and feel of a classic deer rifle rather than a plinking toy. Its legendary lever throw is glass-smooth, allowing for incredibly fast follow-up shots without losing your sight picture. Furthermore, the iconic takedown design—split in half via a single thumb screw—allows you to easily pack it into a truck or case, a hallmark of the 39A series.  Collectibility & Value Late-1950s Marlin 39As are highly sought after by collectors and shooters alike, as they lack the cumbersome cross-bolt safeties found on later variants.

It features a 24-inch Micro-Groove barrel, signature gold-plated trigger, and a forged steel take-down receiver.
