R U sure about the model name/number ?
Remington's owned Marlin for about a year now - but the Marlin 39 lever-action .22 is still labeled as a Marlin, and AFAIK, Remington never made a Model 39 anything. (Although they did once make a Model 37 target rifle)
A pic and/or all barrel & receiver markings, along with barrel length, would help determine what you have there.
