Shorten a Marlin 39a ?

I did it. Dont have 39a any more . This is 9422M 16.50 barrel. Gun was really ratty when I got it.

I wouldn't chop a nice one, but if a refinish is part of the deal anyway, I'd say go for it. Sounds like a neat project! Post some pics.

You will have to remove the suppressor every time to load it, got to reload them puppies.tube feeders and suppressors clash but like what you’re thinking!!!!!

There's a member on here that specializes in shortening and threading barrels, and he'll even relocate the front sight and shorten the tube too. And his prices are great...

Many years ago I shortened a Marlin 39 a into what is called a bicycle rifle. Marlin made a short 39a and it came with a bag that took the broken down rifle and it mounted on the frame rail. Yes, before you ask, we did the paperwork for an SBR. Look them up, kind of a cool little gun, but the real ones are very rare!!!

I’d just buy a big boy x. You would want a loading gate.
