Who needs documentation....I say it's authentic.

Boy, this guy has an attitude and is getting testy. Please don't email and challenge him.

Marlin model 39 HIGH SPEED 1932 "good advertising" : Lever Action Rifles at GunBroker.com

Yeah, that last paragraph is something for a psychologist to analyze...

I guess he's the only veteran in this country too.

[RGR]

At least he has a rifle that is original I believe, but the rest falls under the old maxim, 'buy the gun, not the story". I am actually kind of surprised to not learn that the gun was owned by J. Edgar Hoover or some such famed outlaw of the era. Or that might be a redundant statement.

Did know test that it has a new style mag tube. Forearm cap looks new too. Oh and it was drilled and taped on the barrel.

for some people anything they aquire instantly becomes more valuable....in some small way most of us feel like that....human nature....however this guy is "trippin'" to borrow a word from the younger generation.....

[RB Rider]

wow. somebody rescue this poor thing from the shrine, or it'll never go rabbit hunting again.

Did know test that has a new style mag tube. Forearm cap looks new too. Oh and it was drilled and taped on the barrel.

Go ahead and email him about the D&T'd barrel. I'm sure he'll post another 3000 word diatribe about it being factory, special order, for the doctor.

[Schtoolee]

I bet that he has a $5000 reserve on this thing. Another thing I will bet you that isn't the original stock, it just doesn't look right. But then he did buy a book.
And he says he talked to the people at Marlin or might that be at Remlin This is right up there with that Gold plated 1891, not quit, but close.

That guy is longer winded than me !
