I am considering scoping a Marlin 39a. I looked at a Weaver mount that attaches to receiver top. It appears it would work fine. However, it lacks some in looks department. It protrudes out over the barrel about 1-2 inches. I was curious if another mount base is available?. I called Marlin and they said call Weaver. Thanks for any response.

Sir, the top of the receiver and the top of the barrel, are not in the same plane, requiring a cantilever mount that will overhang the barrel. To my knowledge, no Marlin lever gun comes with tapped holes in the rear of the barrel.
