I agree,Hideous. To each his own, that's what makes the world go round but I just don't care for it.

I don"t see the need or feel the interest but I would love to refinish that stock, some nice timber used in it.

The jeweled bolt is a nice touch. :
It's got to be one of a kind (which is good).

That made my stomach turn over.

Classics are classics and need to be respected. That thing is an abomination.

But there might be a good Marlin under the wood- or woods- and it could be restorable... how much did they want for it? It could be like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree- all it needs is a little love.

WOW!!! What a ugly 39A.

Re: Unusual Marlin 39A Mannlicher

Well, I'll say this much for it, it is different. It's just not my cup of tea at all. The wood does look nice though. Who'd a thunk it, a one piece stock on a 39A. Strange.

Well ,someone likes it :
$305.00 and the reserve is met.
The receiver would have to opened.
Maybe,,,,,, keep the forearm??
$305.00 not bad for a nice 39A..

That's about the ugliest thing I have ever seen! Now all it needs are see-through mounts and it will be the ugliest!

Re: Unusual Marlin 39A Mannlicher

I have it on my "watch list". Just to see.

Re: Unusual Marlin 39A Mannlicher

It would be interesting to see how the gun comes out of the stock. You have to be able to slide the tangs into the butt stock. Somebody did a lot of work.

Re: Unusual Marlin 39A Mannlicher

It's different for sure.

 

[riflerick]

Re: Unusual Marlin 39A Mannlicher

Stubfarmer, I think your right, someone did put a lot of time into it. I"m wondering why if a mannlicker was wanted why not a two piece stock, would have been a lot easier.

I like it.

The jeweled bolt is ugly but I like the overall look.
