Marlin 39A's are selling like gold at gun shows.  Most of them are 8 and 900 dollars.  Sure is a shame.

And here I was thinking they sure took a long time locking the doors.

Side note: UPcrawfish, you may have just thrown FarmerRick back to drinking (more) ;)  You cannot understand the amount of Group Therapy (and beer) it took to get him to the Happy Place he now resides.  I know it wasn't intentional, you may not have known of his incurable Marlinitus.

NE Bull,
I guess then I shouldn't talk about a Marlin 336A in 30-30, NIB - never fired, just handled lovingly....   8)

No your shouldn't, because, unfortunately Marlinitus is a transferable disease, and I have had too much exposure to both Rick and my younger brother.

So... A 336A you say?????

Their parking lot is just north of Baily Road, next to I-91, and it sure looks empty to me!
Google maps "91 Bailey Rd, North Haven, New Haven, Connecticut 06473" and see for yourself!  :D
