Can't blame Chiappa for filling the void. I'd pick one up if I didn't already the real thing.

They certainly do not look like the real Marlin . For that price you should be able to get a used Marlin.
But for all those people who can not find a Used Marlin this maybe just the thing for them . There
maybe many such people , so glad it is on the market . Hope it works as good as a Marlin ?

Well I guess I was lucky on the last 2 that I bought . One @ an auction for $175. One @ a Gun show for $300. Both in great shape
but it was about 4 years ago. I almost bought another for $400. @ the Orangeville Gun Show 1 yr. ago , but passed because I already
have a few. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Frank
I've never seen a Mountie without a straight stock, I did buy a nice old 50's Marlin years ago that the previous owner had shortened. The barrel and mag tube were reduced to 18 1/2 inches and it's very nice. With the short receiver it's the same overall length of a typical 16" trapper. I don't understand why Marlin only made the 39 with the long barrel for the last 20 years of so? And even the take down model that they did make for a while (1988-1995?)had the straight stock like the mountie.

Our Government trusts rivets more then law abiding gun owners.
Sorry you're right, Mounie's are straight stock. It's the standard 39A that is pistol grip. I am losing track!
i would never buy chiappa ever again!!! Their limited production Alaskan came in rusted!!! Their quality control has to be the worst in the market. I wouldn't trust chiappa to make a nerf gun after that!!!
