Lucky 20/20! Mine is pretty good for 51yo they tell me. I would get the .040 aperture also, just the same. Thanks!
Was the front sight an easy change? Dovetail affair im assuming? Good to hear from you ol mateā¦hope the 3D printer is keeping you entertained
Itās dovetailedā¦ But it was pretty tight.
Yeah, Iām running out of printing ideas for printing

Yeah, nah. As much as I dislike Marlin lever guns, (centrefires), the 39a is the best shooting .22 lever gun by farā¦
Horses for courses, @danmac. But nice try, you still suck at fishing 
I got them allā¦ They all have pros and cons. The super short lever throw on BL-22 is what I like. The 39a is a bit longer than it has to be, gets front heavy after a while. 39m is just heavy in general, but compact, 9422 is nice though. Look charm and feel, Iād go Winchester or Marlin. A combination of weight, size and short lever throw for just fun easy plinking without feeling like you are carrying a dumbbell after a while - BL-22 any day.

Yeah short lever throwā¦does it for meā¦and i hate all things Marlin
In competition shooting the 39a has it over the rest. Target weight barrel, trigger that can be made ever so nice. Also for me, its a full sized rifle, doesnāt feel like a kids gun like the 9422. I hate it but thatās just how it is. The Browning might have a short throw but the triggers are crap and canāt be made less crappy.
My centrefires are all Winchesters.
Yeah, unfortunately I do agree on this one. And that goes for most Brownings.
And the 39a is so easy to break down into two ābig bitsā. Ideal for cleaning, and for more convenient packing when traveling.
