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 ..

300-400 is the low end for a 39A.  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.
