I should have probably researched a little more, but I was there, and I bought it. I found a 39AS with a 3-9x40 Simmons scope for $450. It seemed a little high, but I thought well, I'm here, it's in good shape scope or not. I really didn't care about the scope, but I couldn't negotiate taking it off.
They also had a 39A pre-safety for $400. Should I have grabbed the earlier model, in rougher shape? It was well used, obvious pitting, and the bluing was 85%.
Don't know much about these except I've always heard they are tack drivers, and I'm a fan of 22's. The 39AS I grabbed is in nice shape. A few spots on the wood, and a few spots on the metal. Nothing a little scrubbing shouldn't take care of.
EDIT: Forgot to add S/N info. 03121xxx
Sorry about the terrible picture. Cell phone shot...
What do ya think?
