Marlin 39 Price Check

I did have a case blow out today. That’s never happened to me before. Happened when I was shooting my 39A. Blew a bunch of crap back in my face, but didn’t seem to damage anything in the rifle.

Excessive headspace?

This is what i think of when i hear "takedown" rifle.

I’m pretty happy with ten round groups like this at 50 yards with iron sights and cheap ammo. If I could see better, I’m sure that would tighten up. One of these 39s is probably gonna get a scope. I know, I know...sacrilege and all that...View attachment 841133

That is some impressive open sight shooting.

My brother had that happen with his Heritage RR, same thing. Remington ammo, we just figured it was a weak case.

I don’t think so. No other casings showed any signs of damage. Bad case is all I can figure.
