Marlin Rimfire Rifles 1950 – 2007

Most of our firearms are listed on

Guns America with a few on Auction Arms

and a few more on Gun Broker. Our most comprehensive listings, and most of our new arrivals, are on Guns America. You don't have to join to view our listings, but it's easy to enroll.

Thanks for looking over our inventory, and for those among our shoppers who have done business with us in the past. We use NRA grading terminology and percentages of the original finish remaining on the firearm in our descriptions. While firearm grading is subjective like coin grading, we have tried to give ample closeup photos of the firearms and tried to describe any detracting features of each firearm in such a way as seller and buyer can be as clear as possible on the merchandise’s condition. We include specific citations to Fjiestad’s Blue Book of Gun Values, published annually by Krause Publications.

We are keenly interested in Excellent Condition Marlin Lever Action Rifles, all calibers, in Walnut Stocked Bolt Rifles, in Marlin Goose Guns; and in the Camp Carbines in Centerfire Calibers. We are not interested in Marlin Model 60 Rifles. For those kind enough to offer to sell or trade with us, please bear in mind that it costs us $50 or more to book a firearm, clean it, photograph it, write it up, and publish it on the internet.

Format is our stock number & heading – then photos – then description and price on each item. Serial numbers are deliberately smudged. Please visit our other Marlin and Pump / Bolt Shotgun pages, linked to our home page.

Discount schedule: 2% discount orders paid with USPS Money Orders, not necessarily applicable to purchases made on Guns America or other electronic venues. Please note that we ship Long guns for flat $25.00, USPS Priority Mail, Insured, to the lower 47 states.

Marlin 39-A NIB

Fresh 2008 production, this Marlin 39A/S is equipped with the hammer block safety, as they all have been for the past 25 years. While we deal very few new guns, this is such a desireable and traditional, high quality rifle, we buy them when they are available. The buyer will receive the exact rifle in the photo. This particular rifle has a very nice cut-checkered walnut stock and forend. Both are dark, but there is a very nice pattern to the grain in the buttstock, and some outstanding burly pattern in the forend. The gray mar on the left underside of the pistol grip just below the lever, shown in the closeup photo, is original to this rifle. That is a bit of frequently seen if not characteristic Marlin factory roughness. Factory specs are as follows:

CALIBER	22 SHORT, LONG, LONG RIFLE
TYPE ACTION	LEVER
BARREL LENGTH	24"
OVERALL LENGTH	40"
WEIGHT	6-1/2 LBS.
RATE OF TWIST	1 IN 16"

Marlin 60 Auto .22 LR VG 1980s

Photos show representatives of Marlin model 60 autos we've had recently.

This rifle, the Marlin 60, is not a Ruger 10/22 as we often point out to our customers. What we mean by that is that it is relatively fragile, and it has a soft plastic inner buffer that wears out every few hundred rounds and is expensive to replace. We never test fire Model 60s, these included, because we always assume that they have a worn or worn-out buffer. We sell them as is, with no return privilege. We expect that these will shoot every time a person gets a round in the barrel; the issue, however, is their ability to chamber subsequent rounds. That is quite happenstance. While all of these have sufficient spring strength to return the bolt, and while we have actually cleaned all the ones listed in our 700 range stock numbers, we offer no further assurances, except that they are all intact. Own one, when available, for $ 49.95 to $79.95

Sales policy: We accept Mastercard or Visa on a phone- or fax-in basis; and USPS Money Orders for immediate shipment. Personal checks, company checks, and in some instances Cashier’s Checks may involve a delay of no more than 8 business days for clearance. We offer a 7 day return privilege, lay-aways and NIB guns excluded. We offer 90 day lay-away with 20 percent down, balance in 90 days, but will levy a 6% per month service charge on the unpaid balance if the lay-away runs past 90 days. We accept trade-ins at agreed-upon prices, delivered to us. We cannot be responsible for the freight on returns unless we have made some sort of glaring mistake.

Walk-in customers from Tennessee may buy firearms of any type we have. Tennessee Sales Tax is 9 ¾%, and there is a $10 TBI Tennessee Instant Check Fee on all firearms purchases. Customers from many other states may buy long guns, but that depends on your state's laws. Buyers from Connecticut, Florida, Texas, or California, for example, cannot walk in to our store and buy a firearm; buyers from Indiana, Montana, or Oklahama, for example, can. They are subject to the same sales tax and TICS fees as Tennessee Residents.

Shipping rates and information: We must have a signed copy of the purchaser’s Federal Firearms License in order to ship firearms interstate, and that licensee must check out with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as a current, bona fide licensee. Legible faxed and scanned copies are permissible. Individuals commonly use Licensees to act as transfer agents. We always include a gun lock and a copy of the Federal Youth Firearms Safety Act brochure with handguns, shipped or over-the-counter; and we always furnish a copy of our FFL to the receiving dealer.

First handgun is $15.00, $7.50 each for add-ons, insured, USPS Priority Mail. $20 for First Hand Gun to Alaska, California, or Hawaii. California approved gun lock is included at this rate.

First long gun is $25.00, $10.00 each for add-ons in one order. Insurance is included. $35 for First Long Gun to Alaska, California, or Hawaii.

Interstate Shipments of Firearms can go to Federally Licensed Dealers Only. Anyone who undertakes to purchase a firearm must first of all be eligible to own one under State and Federal Law. Disabilities from owning firearms include being under 21 for a handgun (or pistol grip rifle or shotgun) or under 18 for a long gun; conviction, indictment or information of a misdemeanor domestic violence or felony (it does not matter if the person served jail time or not, the conviction or information suffices); adjudication of a nervous disorder or disability; and non-citizenship in the United States. If anyone who is not eligible to own a firearm attempts to purchase one from us, we will assist law enforcement in that person’s prosecution. If anyone attempts to aid and abet the acquisition of a firearm from us for an ineligible person, we will assist in all involved parties’ prosecution. We have no intention of violating any laws. That is why we cannot ship some firearms and/or magazines to jurisdictions that include California, Maryland, New Jersey, and the New York City vicinity.

One of the most common and persistent violations of Federal Law is the straw purchase. Never attempt to buy a gun for someone else under any circumstances. Even spouses buying for each other is tricky. We will not accept third party payment for firearms purchases. If you want to buy someone a present, buy something besides a firearm.

If an unlicensed individual wishes to purchase a firearm that we have advertised on a mail order, interstate basis, he or she must do so legally through an FFL, a federally licensed dealer. Dealers normally charge transfer fees. In our experience, the most readily available transferors are Pawnbrokers and Gunsmiths. Please have transfer logistics worked out before contacting us for a purchase. Thanks for your interest. Law Enforcement officers may purchase a firearm through their department only if it will be used on duty, and Department Letters and paperwork from the Chief Law Enforcement Officer in the jurisdiction are required.
