Very nice Mountie however this isnt a carbine. Marlin actually produced a model 39 carbine and the barrel is so marked. This model will read model 39 Mountie not carbine. Just for educational purposes.

Your right it's not the carbine model, but it is a carbine. It's marked 39M not Mountie but, I consider any 20" a carbine. Just of a figure of speach. I wasn't trying to be technical. The carbine model had a 3/4 mag tube of which 9695 were produced from 1963-67. There's many things Marlin has dropped from the rollstamp over the years. A 39M is a Mountie although not marked and mine is a carbine variation which would be a 20" barrel. A straight stocked 30-30 is a texan marked or not. There's 336c, rc and just plain 336 all the same regular carbine. I guess I stand to be corrected.
Very Nice, Lever Addict. Is the gun "new to you" and how does it shoot?
And speaking of 336 Texan's, I bought one NIB way back in '67 or '68. Very nicely figured wood. Like a fool I traded it off a couple years later. I was young and foolish. But I've kicked myself many times since then for doing it.

Fullchoke the gun has been in my family since new. It belonged to my Uncle. I just got it from my cousin a few months ago who had no interest in guns. It was sitting hidden in a closet. Yes it's a shooter. I think many of us have let go of a firearm that they regret I know I have!
M141a that's a beautiful 39 you got there! I wish I could still use the irons. I just put a Williams 5D on mine and It's a little better than factories for me.

Mine is microgroove too. If I see a Ballard mountie for sale it's coming home with me! That is, if it's not priced too crazy.
