[QUOTE="USMCGrunt, post: 494503, member: 8470"] Oh, I don’t know about the BL22 being the best .22 lever gun. I loved my Marlin Golden 39A so much that I added a shorter Marlin Golden 39M to the collection. The micro-groove barrels are tack drivers and takedown for cleaning is as simple as it gets with one thumbscrew to loosen. Once you pop the receiver apart, all your parts are right there to get at and clean or pull out every part for more detailed cleaning or parts replacement. One thing to watch out for when reassembling them is to make sure the takedown screw Is torqued back to what it was when you sighted it in. When I got my 39A back when I was stationed at Camp Lejeune, I took it to a range out on town, sighted it in, took it apart for cleaning and when I shot it again later, found the group shifted way off to the side. It came back closer and closer to the original point of aim as I tightened the screw so these days, I tighten it down finger tight and then tighten it until the screw slot is vertical (for easy visual reference) and it hasn’t been an issue ever since. 👍 [/QUOTE]
