Could not resist adding to my Marlin collection.

I used the money I was saving for the Dan Wesson Gary dolled up. (Sorry Gary) I was at a gun show Saturday and they had a model 39 carbine. I thought they wanted more for it than it was worth in the condition it was in ($495.00) at about 70%.
Today I stumbled on this beauty for $550 bucks. I wanted the 39A with 24" barrel. Worth it to me.

Only one ding on the stock. See if I can Iron that out.
That makes 21 for my collection.
