I picked up a pretty Marlin Golden 39A at a gun show last spring. Seemed to function OK when I checked it out at the show, but when I got it home and tried live ammo in it, it wouldn't eject the fired case, nor load the next shell into the chamber. For the price of a new ejector and cartridge guide spring (Brownell's catalog), something around $10.00 cost, I fixed it and was back in business. Ejectors are a problem lots of times on .22 rifles, particularly levers. Not a huge problem......

I would like to make it very clear, that I was NOT the person who moved this post. Had I been, I would have notified the original poster. As a matter of fact, when this post was moved, I was in hospital.

easy fix most of the time...
i know some guns arnt made with auto eject anymore cause they go bad so fast sometimes, but the smif will take care of it fer $30 or so.
maybe the guy didnt know it didnt eject, maybe news to him as well....
i know if ya take off a tie or lock on a gun at a show here, you immediately asked to leave, and before you get out the door ya get a ticket, from Dallas' finest
everything kewl X?

what's with all these people wanting refunds on SOLD items? sold "as is"
I don't lie about what I sell, but I sell everything "as is" for the most part.
Sure there are dishonest people out there so I suppose maybe that's a different issue.
But when buying a "used" item remember it is "used" not mint or brand new.

ditto!!!!! besides most of the time the manufactor will still cover any problems even though you are not the first owner.

My friend and I are going to his house on Friday if I don't hear anything from him this week as he promised to get hold of me. I just find it very interesting that he made the receipt out where his last name is unreadable and that the ph. # on it was completely erroneous. I am sure he was aware of the condition of the gun. I am going to go to his house on Friday and see if he wants to trade for the other similar one or give me my damn money back or I will probably take him to small claims and let the judge decide.
It was a model T-250, just a mediocre 22.

121553, Congrats to your son. I hope he will find his profession to be a rewarding one. Tell him not to be to disappointed with the pitfalls he will surely encounter. The "brothers-in-law" are behind him.
As for myself, I'm slowly getting back to my normal grouchy old self. Thanks for your expressed concerns. Believe it or not, it helps.
