How's about pictures of the Marlin? - Bob

It's not a milsurp.

It's a 1965 Golden 39A Mountie. Decent condition but has some very minor pitting here and there. I don't have it cleaned yet, fair amount of light rust on it also Nice old Tasco scope that looks like it might be from the 60's but no real clue on that. Seems to be fully functional with a very good bore. Can't get it apart. Been so long since I've taken mine apart I didn't want to do something wrong with this one. I seem to recall just bumping the stock on the floor once the screw is out but my light taps yesterday didn't do the trick.

I had a hunch, and was hoping it might be a Mountie! I think they're one of the neatest little guns ever. My older brother bought one when I was in the 5th or 6th grade, and still has it. I tried to find a picture of him taken with the gun back then, but couldn't locate it. Here's a "cropped" picture of him taking a few shots with it, while he was up for a visit about 10 years ago. At the time, we attended a gun show in Portland and saw one on a table there about like his - they were asking close to $600 for it. - Bob
