Rough 39A
« on: January 08, 2010, 11:30:46 AM »
I traded a 10-22 for it.  The eroded wood around the receiver bothers me most.  It feeds a little sluggish but it's very accurate with subsonics in the backyard.  I think a clean & lube will cure the feeding.  It's had a scope mounted on the barrel at some point.

is the wood eroded or is the buttstock just loose,screws stripped or something. The flathead screws look kind of buggered up,like somebody's been tinkering. Looks like a great project

It's not loose someone just over sanded it.

Re feeding, is it assembled right? It is a takedown and I see some huge metal/metal fit issues. Not sure of vintage, but I read that Marlin will refurb guns less than 50 years old for a better price than many gunsmiths.

I believe it was made in the 1940s.

Looks like a diamond in the rough Swampy. ;D
With a little TLC that'll be a nice addition to your collection.
Are you planning on replacing the wood?

I'm not sure.  I may just do a light refinish and see what I think.  The forearm will be fine.

Looks just like mine that was mfg. in 1949. Nice. They sure are good shooters. You'll enjoy it. Everytime you shoot it you'll get a big  ;D on your face.

After much soaking in CRC & WD-40 and tapping with a hammer handle I was finally able to break it down.  There was a ton of crud in there.  I cleaned it real good and lubed it with Mil-Spec gun oil.  I goes completely back together now and seems to function better.

I took it to the range yesterday and I was able to pick of small pieces of clay pigeon on the 25 yard berm really easy.  I can't shoot very well without a scope so I felt good.  It did hang up one time but I was able to fix it.  I want to find a better butt stock for her.
