I took a Marlin Golden 39A in trade for some expensive earplugs this past weekend.
I've always heard that the Marlin 39 is the best lever-action .22 ever made. In fact, its design is unchanged from the day they first made 'em. 100% milled steel, smooth action, a takedown design, and built like a bank vault.
Something tells me I'd better sell this off BEFORE I get the itch to shoot it - or it might burrow into my safe and hide there.
