Description
You’re not just looking for a .22 rifle. You’re looking for the one that feels like an extension of your own hands, the one that turns every trip to the range or the back forty into a deliberate, satisfying ritual. When it comes to a rimfire that bridges the gap between heirloom-grade craftsmanship and practical, repeatable precision, there’s a single answer. The Marlin 39A Extra Fancy Grade 22LR Limited Production – Fully Accurized and Tuned, High Polished and Extra Fancy Stock is a factory-customized, limited-run masterpiece. It’s a lever-action .22 Long Rifle rifle that has undergone a full professional accurizing process and received a high-polish metal finish paired with a select, exhibition-grade walnut stock, resulting in a firearm of unparalleled fit, finish, and smoothness for the discerning collector and shooter.
This isn’t a rifle you just pick up; you acquire it. Every detail, from the deep, flawless polish on the receiver and barrel to the intricate figure of the walnut, speaks to a level of attention reserved for only the finest tools. The action has been meticulously tuned, so the lever throw is buttery smooth and the trigger breaks like a glass rod. This is a rifle built for the shot where absolute confidence matters—when you’re teaching a new shooter the fundamentals of marksmanship with a faultless example, or when you’re aiming to place a single round exactly where you want it, shot after shot. At a weight of approximately 6.5 pounds, it carries with a substantial, quality feel that inspires steady hands.
The heart of this limited production model is the full accurizing and tuning performed by Marlin’s master gunsmiths. Internal surfaces are honed, the famous Marlin 39A action is timed and smoothed to perfection, and the trigger is adjusted for a clean, crisp pull. This process transforms an already reliable design into a supremely refined instrument. The result is a rifle that is drop-in ready for serious use, requiring no further gunsmithing to achieve its peak potential. It’s built to work seamlessly with standard .22 LR ammunition and is a perfect companion for high-quality optics from brands like Leupold or Vortex, mounted using traditional rimfire scope bases.
Then there’s the wood and metal. The “Extra Fancy” designation is earned—the stock is cut from walnut with dramatic, flowing grain patterns you have to see to believe, all finished to a rich, hand-rubbed luster. The metalwork receives a high-polish bluing that looks like a deep, dark mirror. This level of finish isn’t just for show; it’s a statement of permanence and care. The rifle’s 24-inch barrel provides a long sight radius and inherent accuracy, while the side-ejection design keeps your sight picture clear. With a tubular magazine capacity of 26 Short, 21 Long, or 19 Long Rifle rounds, you have plenty of shots before needing to reload.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a standard production Marlin 39A?
A: No. This is a limited production, factory-customized variant. It undergoes additional accurizing, tuning, and receives the special “Extra Fancy” grade walnut and high-polish metal finish, setting it apart from standard models.
Q: What does “fully accurized and tuned” mean?
A: It means Marlin’s gunsmiths have disassembled, honed, and adjusted the action for optimal smoothness and timing. The trigger is tuned for a clean, consistent break. This enhances reliability, feel, and potential accuracy—work that is typically done after purchase is completed here at the factory.
Q: Can I use it with a suppressor?
A: The barrel is not threaded from the factory for a suppressor. If you wish to add a suppressor, a qualified gunsmith would need to thread the barrel, a modification that would alter the original high-polish finish. It’s something to consider carefully given the rifle’s presentation.
