Just wondering what used Marlin 39s are going for these days. All I can find in the EE are older ones that seem to fetch quite a lot of money. What about the newer production ones?
 
The only one's available from Marlin now are the custom shop ones that are MSRP: $3495.00US !

If the ones they made in the last 20 years were still available for sale they would likely be priced similar to the 1894's .... so over a grand in Canada.

If it's in good shape around $800 is not out of line and probably the lower end of the spectrum but the recent economic reality means guns will get more expensive coming out of the US, and people will have less disposable income.

I prefer the pre cross bolt safety models.
 
$800 on the low end? Never would have thought that. I think I paid 425 for it a long time ago. Mine has the safety and is from sometime in the 2000s. Great rifle but for some reason it almost always gets passed over for something different when I go shooting.
 
Buyers market now. I sold an almost mint one two years ago to one of my good employees. $1000,00 with 5000 rounds.
 
The 39A, 39M or 39A Mountie are my all time favourite 22's.. i am fortunate to have one of each and always looking to add another!

As others have suggested, prices can range from $700-2000+ for the right model, depending on condition and an eager buyer. One made in the 2000's might be closer to the $750-850 range in very good condition.

Thanks guys. Not sure if I can bring myself to sell mine, but it’s good to know it’s worth something if I decide to. I’ve been trying to thin out my stuff that I don’t use (not just gun related stuff) but this one might manage to stay even if it’s not used much.
 
Piggy-backing on this old thread.

Anyone have a rough idea on value for a 39A - Mountie? Condition is good to very good. Serial number is L242XX so I believe it is from 1954.
 
39s and 9422s are about the nicest lever action .22s you can get. They seem to sell for the same sort of prices.
Only 39 I have is a salvage grade. I obtained a NOS octagon barrel. The rest of the parts need to be taken down to bare steel and refinished. The original round barrel has a decent bore, but needs to be spun on the lathe against a belt sander to clean it up. And there is no wood.
I remember we were hunting for ptarmigan on the barren lands west of Hudson Bay. Forget why, but a chap disassembled his 39. Firing pin fell out of the bolt. We spent a lot of time on our hands and knees searching for the thing before we finally found it.
