Great find indeed! I never have any $$ when I run upon something like this. My brother just bought a 39a for $125!

vonfatman · 02-12-2013, 04:00 PM

Mr. O.F.
That is a great deal! Congratulations. How about some photos??

Way to go.

Bob

jim summers · 02-12-2013, 04:04 PM

Just in case you are unaware stealing is a crime the main thing is you can sleep at night knowing you only had to give $25 bucks for it.
It is a nice looking rifle

firefighter1635 · 02-12-2013, 05:51 PM

Nice deal indeed! I'm never in the right place at the right time.

jbrescue · 02-12-2013, 06:11 PM

In order the help you sleep better at night and put your conscience back to normal, I will pay you $30 for that.

dbcooper · 02-12-2013, 06:55 PM

great find!

are you gong to reblue it?

I never find deals like that

76Highboy · 02-12-2013, 07:41 PM

Holy smokes, did you leave him his shirt? Nice find.

dad2thebone · 02-12-2013, 08:19 PM

I'll give you 35 hows that. dont want you to feel so bad is all.

HVance · 02-13-2013, 12:52 PM

I'd call you a thief, except I'd have done it myself.

Alpo · 02-13-2013, 01:14 PM

The picture is so bad, I got to ask.

Winchester, Rossi or Taurus?

Good deal, no matter which, but wonder if it was a good deal, a great deal or Oh My God That's a Deal!!

nice find.

makes ya wonder why some people demark guns.

I bought a vetterli that someone cut down the oe wood to sporterize it.

metal was in GREAT shape.. better shape than other vet's I have.

it was sad. I got it from a colelctor that got it on trade .. i gave 50$ for it.. we both agreed it was a shame someone cut the wood off.

if nothing else it will be a parts gun in case I get a vet with good wood and bad metal.. or an incomplete gun with good wood.

Fatstrat · 02-13-2013, 02:12 PM

Indeed a very good deal/ Congrats!

BETH · 02-13-2013, 04:49 PM

jstgsn · 02-13-2013, 10:54 PM

Oh Heck...I've spent $25 and got a lot less on many many occations. I'm afraid I would have had to run around naked with that gun in my hand while celebrating the deal. AND TRUST ME, NOBODY WANTS TO SEE THAT.

The last bargain I picked up was a 20 guage pump mossberg with the dial-a -prayer choke for #75.00. It was coated in crud and a real mess. A douse of CLP and it cleaned up like new. Yahoo....

That is one fine looking .22.

And also, to ease your guilt. I'll give you $35 for it. And I promise to do several Hail Marys.

Pustic · 02-13-2013, 11:15 PM

That looks like a Rossi Gallery Gun.

The pump handle looks too small for that. It must be an original Winchester.

yes,, it is a winchester,, will probably just cold blue it for now,, hot blue later and look for some better wood,, have a butt-plate for it in my junk box,, the metal is in very nice shape,, will try to put some better pics up later,, probably will not sell, put with a couple others i have diff models,,

22WRF · 02-17-2013, 03:28 PM

For another $25 you may be able to buy a box of ammo for it

Brass Tacks · 02-17-2013, 04:49 PM

Looks like a Model 62. My elderly neighbors gave me this one about 25 years ago as they were being placed in a nursing home. He had purchased it new in 1935. It's easily a 95% rifle. I'm very proud of the gift.

My 39D is so superb to any and every .22 I have owned....
The 39A is a bit longer and one hell of a rifle.
I would buy either [D or A] all day long for $125....
and that's a fact, Jack !
