They generally are garbage. They have a rebounding hammer that prevents the rifle from firing reliably. The new ones also fail to extract and fail to eject the spent case when they do manage to fire. The fail to eject and extract occurs about 85 to 90% of the time. The rifle is a pain to shoot period. My rifle had to be completely rebuilt just to get it to fire. I had to replace the extractor, grind down the lower rebounding hammer strut and replace the firing pin. I also had to replace the bolt as it failed to go home all the way when cycled with a live round.
The problems that I have listed are common with new Marlin 39Aes. The internet is full of 39 owners that have these problems with their rifles, all you need to is undertake a little research. Avoid the new 39A like the plague you will be sorry unless you have gunsmithing skills and can rebuild the rifle then you may have a good one.
