I have found the "Holy Grail" of 39A's

jdad · Post by **jdad** » Tue Oct 09, 2007 6:57 pm

It seemed like it took forever to get here......and to find one

1st variation, 1st year (1939), and 3 digit serial number under 500.

Lots of sweaty, salty, hands have been on that receiver, but the bore is perfect.....real character.

Howdy,
Nice looking rifle! Someone mentioned the 16", would that be the TDS?
I found a LNIB the other day. (With the bag) What a sweet shooter.

That's a nice looking one. I was a little skeptical when I got one (1964 man. date) but I absolutely love that gun. Good luck with yours.

Well that was well worth the wait! That's a real beauty, and an extremely rare find! Congratulations! Do I get to see it first hand at OAC the end of this month?-Vall

Vall,
It's going to be part of my "Rimfire" display at this month's show.

Very nice, congrats on the find. I found a 39A made in 1953 about 4 months back, was pretty pleased with that find.
