    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 ?

    You would be hard pressed to even find a used one let alone for that price! Older JM Marlin's have appreciated in price especially those that have been discontinued.

    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.

    I'd agree that $175 even 15 years ago would have been lucky...
    I walked into Lever Arms about 4 years ago and there was a nice early 70's 39 sitting in the used rack for $300..... surprise sale.

    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!!!

    X 2 - Chiappa has some serious quality control issues, plenty of people got screwed with the Alaskans.
