The 39A depends on condition...wood sights bore bluing...octogon or round barrel profile There are many variations...300 400 depends Pics help a lot .. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In that price range, expect 50% blueing, pitting and probably a few rust spots and handling/use marks, maybe even a crack or chip in the furniture. A nice 39A with 90%, or better blueing, minimal handling marks no rust, little pitting, sharp rifling, in that condition, 500-700 is about right. A pristine unfired or barely used example could easily sell for 800-1200. Of all the AR-7s, the Charter Arms may have been the worst. They sell for very little, unless it's NIB or LNIB condition, then only a collector will pay a decent price for that gun. For it's intrinsic value, the CA is worth about 150-200. If you want an AR-7, you are better off buying a new Henry. The Nylon 66 is a good buy at 250-350. I recall reading that some years had trouble with extractors, but it's easily fixed. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What part about condition didnt make sense..lol...what about sights such as a lyman tang sight didnt make sense....pics help All things being equal lately, toss the gun values book out the window.... a 39 in 70% condition...went from a guys asking 550 down to being sold for 275 at a shop i know....
