I had to have surgery last Friday and I am In Pain........

How exactly is this gun related you ask? Well because my wife is bringing me home a Marlin 39A .22 lever gun as a get well present. I would do the happy dance but I am afraid I might damage something.

I have been waffling back and forth between a .357 magnum Marlin or the .22 39A and finally came to the conclusion that the fact is I will shoot the hell out of a .22 39A where as the 1894 would make a nice companion for the revolvers and make for great pictures but would likely get shot much less.

So tell me everything I need to know about the Marlin 39A.

Hope recovery goes well.

Great Gun, accurate, will last forever, PMC Zappers , Win X22lr and CCI mini- mags (in that order it seems) to be the most accurate YMMV.

Wifey has to carry the bricks of ammo until Doc lifts weight to lift restrictions...but a box or two of 50 rds shouldn't hurt anything. Grinning too big might hurt still.

They don't show up too often at gun stores or gun shows here. Them that have 'em, tend to stick to 'em.

I saw an older one yesterday at a local gun show with a $350 price tag on it. I wouldn't pay that much for it, since it had more wear than I'd like.

I am looking for one to be an understudy to my .41 Magnum 1894. One of these days I'll find one.

I love the idea of a lever action 22, I am looking pretty hard for a Ruger 96/22 so I can use my 10/22 mags, but they are tough to find.

I also want a '94 for hunting/shtf/homeland security/scout jr/patrol III'whatever its called now purposes

Get well soon btw!

surgery

chief, first of all healing vibes to you and yours..
last year I had surgery...in the middle of the whole thing
i somehow regained awareness. I know what was going on and
to detract myself I visualized I was out shooting and concentrating
on the 10 ring and calling my shots..mentally. haha.
again, good luck, and prayers.
