Marlin Model 39A, proper dissasembly

[Bill from NJ 0]

Anyone here know the proper way to disassemble this rifle?

 

The year of production is 1947 with the "D" code under the leaver.

 

This is going to be my next project and I want to take apart and do things correctly.

 

Again thank you for your anticipated assistance.

djg0770,

 

I thank you for your suggestion of this manual.

 

But...

 

This particular rifle pre dates this manual you recommended or any other printed information I could find.

 

Also I am looking for much more specific details of removing the wood stock, forearm grip, loading tube, etc....

 

I just now came up from the basement, spending some time tonight figuring out the puzzle of what to remove and in what order to prevent any damage.

 

Well finally, Mission accomplished!

 

This is a tricky animal, be very cautious if you have to do this in the future yourself.

 

Nothing is what it seems. I guess they did things slightly different in 1947.

 

Not all parts are the same or even listed, as I have researched in all of the schematics I found.

 

Again, I Thank you for your help.

no problem!

 

Why not post up pics and a how to?

Pictures?

 

I barely am able to use the computer without screwing up.

 

I am not too good with these electronic type things.

 

Now, if I was to use my Polaroid... oh wait, I cannot even get film for it anymore.

You sir are a Marine. There is no Can't in a Marine (so I've been told). There may be three ways to do something (right way, wrong way, Marine way), but if you can get an avatar linked, we certainly can guide you in uploading photos. And if you could figure out that Marlin without a manual, I'm quite certain that you can do photos.

Wait Dan, the Marine Way is always the right way. then there is the wrong way, or Sailors way.

[djg0770 481]

then there's the other way - the army way

 

and the upside down way - the airmans way

djg0770,

 

OK, lets set the record straight....

 

1) I do not like playing with cameras and definitely not these new styles of electrical cameras.

 

2) I like to do things MY way, which I may have to remind you sir... IS the Marine Corps way.

 

3) I am a grumpy SOB set in my ways, I do not like change.

 

4) I am very good at mechanical skills, there is absolutely nothing I cannot do ..... If I put my mind to do it.

 

 

I Sir am a Master Curmudgeon, see definition below

 

Curmudgeon (k?r-m?j'?n)

 

An ill-tempered person full of resentment, rebellious, and stubborn notions.

Cantankerous fellow, bad-tempered, difficult to get along with, and set in his ways.

 

Curmudgeons are mockers and debunkers whose bitterness is a symptom rather than a disease.

They can't compromise their standards and can't manage the suspension of disbelief necessary for feigned cheerfulness.

Their awareness is a curse.

They don't hate mankind, just mankind's absurdities.

They have the boldness to comment on the human condition without apology.

They not only refuse to applaud mediocrity, they howl it down with morose glee.

Their versions of the truth unsettle us, and we hold it against them, even though they soften it with humor.

 

Synonyms:

grump, grouch, crank, bear, sourpuss, crosspatch, malcontent, and grumbler.

 

 

This Sir, is just a slightly longer version of me saying....

 

"I am not going to post any stinking pictures!" (LOL)

 

Regards,

Bill

You sir, have obviously not yet read the Propah Grammah thread penned by yours truly. I am ALREADY the resident curmudgeon. Feel free to stand in line, but the view isn't going to change.
