The Golden 39A is considered one of the finest examples of a lever .22 rifle, and one of the most accurate .22 rifles ever produced. It is also the best-selling lever rim fire in U.S. history. The tubular magazine is loaded from the front with a capacity for 18, .22 caliber long rifle cartridges. The 24 “ barrel is equipped with a front bead sight, and a ramp rear sight. The bore is excellent, and the barrel and receiver retain almost all original blue, noting minor wear to the metal edges. This takedown rifle features a pistol grip stock with excellent wood and sling mounts. Signature “Golden trigger” and an original Marlin butt plate complete this classic. Annie Oakley once used a Model 1891, the predecessor to the Model 39-A, to put 25 shots in one jagged hole in 27 seconds at a distance of 36 feet (11 m).S/N Y13839.
