Welcome from Alabama...

I always keep firing pins in my spare parts box... Never had to replace one yet, but I am ready in case I do...

 

Welcome from the marshes of south Louisiana.

HI @Scorpiusb @cajun56 !
Yeah firing pins and extractor was what I had in mind too .
I will probably need some screw . I didn't check but its probably "imperial thread" .. not very common around .
i will need help to find which thread are used ..and to find spare screw !

Tom

 

Marlin and most other gun makers use specific threads for their own firearms and you have to get them from the suppliers...

hi @Golphin

Tom

 

Welcome from Micanopy Florida

 

I have a whole collection of 39s. Never had to replace a part except for my then new 39M octagon carbine which had a failed firing pin. My LGS buddy attributed it to dry firing and replaced it for free . It was my first gun ( talking early 1970"s here). It been flawless since as well as my whole collection of 39s starting with an 1897.....but as they say two is one and one is none...

 

hi @WhoaCowboy ,thanks for the feedback .
is there a difference between a pre-1972 and a 1981 firing pin model. ? will probably buy one on ebay
I'm a bit worried about my firing pin (see picture) I saw on mine multiple grinding work .. , and sanding work , the pin is edged on the front and there is a kind of step (or dropout if i can use this word here) .
I've also read @swany recommand to sand it but , not sure to clearly understand what to do

Perhaps someone else can answer your question. I don't know. All of mine are safe queens now. I picked up a Henry from Walmart a few tears back for plinking but open sights are a problem for me now especially popping one off in the back yard. My .22 shooting is now with a Ruger precision 22 with variable scope. sub half inch groups at 33 yards Just added a suppressor so can I plink in my yard without shoot and run..LOL ...BTW have you checked Numrich Arms in NY for spare parts and descriptions. I have gotten Colt parts from them. Best of luck

 

Welcome to Marlin Owners from NE Indiana, USA.
Since you are in France I would probably get an extra ejector and extractor. Tape up a note inside your safe where you will see it and be reminded where it is at because you will probably not need them. For me the probability of dropping either one or a screw and it bouncing out of sight is more likely then one breaking. Not a whole lot of force required to handle .22s. Same with the firing pin unless it has been dry fired a lot. I would order the screws you want to replace from the same source as the other two parts.

Sorry I missed your location in France. I just checked my Brophy Marlin reference book copyright 1989. Haven't looked at it in years He states on page 290 and has picture of four variations of firing pins for 39A and M rifles...Bonne Chance!. PS as Steve IN stated..no dry firing without safety caps and you'll be fine

 

Welcome from the UK. Keep in mind marlinspares.co.uk. They wont post abroad but I can often help sort that.

Often shot in your country, Near Troys, north of Dijon. Also done some hunting in your south west, near the Spanish border.

Tom, I have French friends I have known for over forty years, who dont speak any English, and I speak no French. I sometimes wonder if thats one reason we are still friends? We talk motorcycles (They love Harleys) we talk wine, (They make Champagne) and we talk guns, of course. For those, we dont need many words.

By the way, most of us who wanted to depart the EU were unhappy with Brussles, not the French, Italians or anyone else. Just sayin.

 

That's a nice story !
friendship over years and language ! thats really amazing. I'm happy to know that you spend great time in France.
i've been in lot of country all over the world , and curiously i've been only 3 times in UK only for work , and never really visited UK except camden street once , and the gleneagles hotel in scotland.

Still waiting for my ebay guy's feedback about my parts , ordered ejector , extractor , extractor spring , firing pin , and scope mount for 39

 

Camden St ,,,, used to work around the corner from there many years ago, in Warstone Lane. Took my wife's wedding ring into the Jewellery Quarter earlier this week. Jeeze how the area has changed since I worked there.😲

 

Welcome from the Central Valley, California.
Looks like your spare parts question has been answered rather well but I can't help noticing the U.S. "dime" embedded in the forearm. Any story behind that?

 

Hi @nickel plate ,

No idea , I may have read somewhere that some have the dime , some haven't .
if someone have a better story ?

Dime is NOT factory... It had to have been installed by a previous owner...

 

Tom,
There's a forearm for sale on ebay. $39.00 U.S. Check it out!

Hi,
Welcome from New York
I bought a Golden 39A in 1982 and have shot it a lot maybe a few 1000 rounds, and I have never needed any spare parts ! Just say-in
have fun shooting
Rick

 

Hi team,

thanks a lot for this forum ! , I've gone throught a lot of post in the past 3 days

I've recently bought a '81 Marlin original golden 39a (Serial number start by 1925xxxxx, pretty rare rifle in my country) , I didn't shoot a lot with it for the moment as I only have a small backyard in town (only shot few round without FTF nor FTE) , waiting for the moment to go in the mountain and shoot a lot more .

My concern is about always have some spare parts in the bag , because in the country house , in case of issue , I will probably need a week to get a remplacement parts ... and I don't take into account the time needed to find them ...... and not even their availability .

I guessed extractor "spring" is probably one of the weakest part in the 39a , but what would be your advice for "an emergency spare parts" ?

what is your advice as extractor spare parts (i've read the excellent post of swany about the Wisner's extractor but look like it will be hard to find )

i took some pics , what to think about the firing pin? too worn / damaged ?

thanks for reading
Tom

Here's a great website to use to identify the name of the parts you are looking for. It has a schematic that goes along with it.

Below are the part numbers and locations. I use the first website to identify the part and then the list below to find the exact part number and where it goes. Then, I just search for it on the web. Note...the chart/parts list is divided into sections that have the model numbers that apply to whichever model you have. Where you see the numeric numbering skip a number, it is probably in a specific section of the list under your model number. I hope that this helps and I'm not making it more confusing than it is. Good luck.
