Purty. Sure is nice!

Hi 1895G:

Thanks, I am very, very happy with my Model 39 CL (made in 1970).

I had to take it to a local gunsmith to show me how to break it down for cleaning, and from the like new appearance of the "innards" the gunsmith said he doubted if a box (or brick?) of shells had been run thru the 41 year old CL because their was simply no wear showing..

Gotta love that..

Best Wishes,

Jesse

Tomray,

It's hard for someone with a little knowledge (like myself) take issue with what someone with obviously MORE knowledge on the same subject says, so I'll defer to what you say.

But, whatever the reason, MY Model 39 was no where near coming apart into two pieces until after that 2nd screw was removed.

Now..

My CL is over 40 years old, and from the appearance of the insides it would seem it had NEVER been broken down for cleaning, and had been shot very, very little.

Perhaps that is responsible for my being unable to break it into two parts, as described in the manual for my 39A.

Anyway, I love my Model 39 and always love learning more about it, as right now, I don't know squat..

Thanks!

Jesse

Jesse,
IF,.............you have little knowledge of the 39, or other Marlins, as you stated.............Please don't post ERRONIOUS statements in such a positive fashion on this forum...................
I know what I'm talking about, here..................
Tom

Well Thomas,

I've already acknowledged my ignorance, and apologized for spreading misinformation...

No doubt you know much more about the way to break down a 39A, Mountie, CL, whatever than I do, and I appreciate your coming here to take me to task for my error.

What you obviously have in experience in this matter is only excelled by your LACK of tact in how you chose to correct me on it.



Best Wishes,

Jesse

P.S. I believe it's spelled "erroneous"...

Tomray,

After a good nights sleep and thinking about the post you made to me, and how I responded to it, I realize I have basically come to your forum and pooped in it.

For that I apologize.

I'm new here, and I wish to become a valued member of this forum., a member who in time might actually gain enough knowledge about the Marlin 39 rifle to have something to contribute to other new members.

But for now, it's obvious I know very little about 39's, and in my effort to be helpful I spread bad, and confusing, information about how my Century Limited breaks down for cleaning.

In my old age it seems more and more I am prone to run my mouth before putting my brain in gear, but truthfully I think it's a part of my character that just isn't going away.. I'll work on it, but I'm afraid it's a terminal fault of mine.

In the meantime, I do sincerely apologize to you personally for taking offense at your post, where none was intended, and I also apologize to other forum members who read my responses to you.. I didn't come here to be a pain in the butt, I came to enjoy the interaction between other folks like myself who love and appreciate the fine Marlin 39 for the fantastic rimfire rifle it is.

Another member has suggested to me that perhaps the older39's break down easier if the hammer is on half cock (on the pre-rebounding hammer rifles), but as with the 2nd screw business, I'm just repeating what I was told.

Since you are experienced, and trained as a Marlin 39 "trouble shooter", "problem solver" I would appreciate it if you would clear up that little suggestion for me too.

Again Tom, my sincere apology to you for my comments..

Jesse

Tom,

Thanks for the tip.. I'll take your advice the next time I feel the need to disassemble my CL (using the unusual ONE screw method)...

Best Wishes,

Jesse
