Marlin 39a lever action .22 S/L/LR in excellent condition! 24" barrel is bright and clean with sharp factory rifling intact. Internals show very little wear giving the impression this rifle was very minimally used. Wood is in excellent to near mint condition with a few very light handling scratches in isolated areas. Bluing is very strong overall with a few tiny handling marks but overall it is beautiful for a used rifle of its age. Magazine exterior tube has a very slightly enlarged hole but is not noticeable and purely cosmetic (please see pictures). Serial number has the "P" prefix which would put the production date at early 1957 according to online records. Absolutely beautiful example of the classic Marlin 39a!
