Oddly enough, I managed to scrounge up a 39 Marlin (odd given the recent best 22 thread) last week. Its tired, with a busted stock and a moderate case of acne due to someone putting it away wet. Sigh
It appears to be of 1946 manufacture (pre scope mounting screws) "D" serial prefix, and is missing some parts. I need the following
Extractor (39A-26)
Firing pin (39a-32) (this is repairable..pin is broken off)
(1) forend tenon screw
Another pistol grip buttstock would be nice, but the original is repairable.
I know there are a few gunsmiths here who may have some bits kicking around. Shrug.. Much of this stuff is currently out of stock with Numrich...or way over priced.
Ill keep watching E-bay..but 39 stuff is not real common
