I've seen this and your 336 video and you look like a woman from the side. Especially in the 336 video. Cut that hair hippie. You're not john travolta and your YouTube videos are not pulp fiction.
I bought a 1955 Marlin 39A Mountie about a month ago and it's simply an amazing gun. Really accurate and I haven't had a problem with it yet. Not cheap for a .22, but it's worth every penny.
I have one on my .30-30, it is okay. You get what you pay for applies. It doesn't like to hold its zero after several rounds. You'd be better off with a nice Nikon Buckmaster for about $150-200. Quality counts in a scope.
It will hold 19 Long rifle, 21 Long, and 26 Short.
I haven't tried any high velocity ammo in it like CCI Stingers. Anything jacketed would likely do well in this rifle because of the Marlin micro-grove rifling.
You may shoot Long Rifle rounds or .22 shorts and do fine. However, I would highly discourage using "stinger" rounds, as they are higher velocity and put more wear and tear on the barrell. A .22 long rifle that shoots at 1280 from the muzzle or a .22 short that shoots 1,000 ft/sec at the muzzle is plenty of firepower for this rifle!
I say you have no use for high velocity ammo in your .22 when the ammo you are using is high velocity. Do you mean "hyper" velocity, like CCI stingers and remington yellow jackets?
Well I know .22 Short, doesent get produced anymore here in Germany, cause the sports shooting discipline Olympic Rapid fire gets done with .22 LR now.
I do know .22 Long Rifle... but what do you mean by "Long" ?
They have to be more short then .22 LR if 2 more fit in. What calibre is that?
There is a now obsolete and dying caliber called .22 Long. It is slightly shorter than the Long Rifle.
Micro-grove rifling is a series of shallow sections of rifling. It supposedly increases accuracy and reduces fouling and gas leakage. There shouldn't be any problems using lead bullets. The micro-grove just tends to work its best with jacked bullets.
Great video, fantastic gun. I just picked one up earlier this week. Shame there are so few videos of the 39A on YouTube, I might have to make one myself.
How much side-to-side movement are you getting in the lever? A friend told me some movement is normal with all lever action rifles, but mine's moving around 0.25mm side-to-side. Just wanted to get the observations of as many owners as possible. Thanks!
It is very VERY possibe. I use a .22LR and I have hit pretty small targets at 125 yards. My friend used a .22 Magnum to shoot a Prairie Dog, distance was 195 yards on a Rifleman 550 rangefinder. It can be acceptable for a scope on a 22.
Do you guys use sand bags or anything to steady your aim? I just stand there, and I wouldn't consider myself a fantastic shot, but I do alright on one foot square targets out to about 100 yards. Other than that, I'd have to say that I'm sure .22 WMR has a lightly longer range than .22 lr.
Scopes on .22's are beyond acceptable; I'd say the majority of the .22's I've seen have had scopes.
I only use sand bags when sighting the weapon. But the front rest seen in the video is pretty common. I suppose it depends on where you shoot, too; if you're going to the range, bags or rests are usually provided, and if not, you'll typically bring them if you're spending more than an hour shooting. If you're just out plinking, lugging around some type of rest usually isn't worth it.
Hi, my name is Fernando and I am Ovies of Asturias-Spain. I've seen your video on the carbine Marlin 39 A lever action. It's the best lever action carbine from 22 L.R. Do you know if Marlin continues making the model 1897T octagon barrel, is that I do not have e-mail Marlin firearms and can not consult the company. My e-mail: fernandoovies@hotmail.comMuchas thanks and a warm

If you're not using the iron sights, you'd be better be shooting from the hip.

which is more accurate the marlin 39a or wthe winchester lever action?
jhunted7667 2 years ago
The Marlin's usually are more accurate when you use jacketed ammo. Marlin's unique "micro-groove" rifling really helps with accuracy.

Thank you for loading this video up. How many rounds in .22 lfb can you get in the magazine, and good do you come along with HV HP ammo?
Do you also have Marlin 1894 CB?

So I heard about that "Micro-Grove" thing, but everone is telling something different :-((
... how is it affecting the weapon if I use regular unjacketed ammunition?
Do you know something about it?

Ok. so there is no need to worry about it!
This covers pretty much with all the others things I heard about it, especially in this calibre.
I think the better they lubricated the less barrel lead fouling you have.
Thank you!

Why do you need a scope on a .22? You're not gonna hit anything past 100 yards with one anyway.

It is very cheap but works okay for under 50 yards. It does not do the 39A justice. For the money they are not bad.

As far as I know Marlin stopped making the 1897T a few years back. They still pop up every once and a while for anywhere from 500-1000USD.
Best luck finding one. They are great rifles.
