Last Friday night I saw an ad for a reasonably priced Browning BL22 on our local Armslist. I was going to be gone all day Saturday and didn't think the gun would last long, so I didn't contact the seller. When I got home on Saturday, the add was still there, so I sent the guy an email. Didn't hear back Saturday, or this morning, so I grabbed my saws and headed for the woods, figuring the gun had been sold.
Around 1pm my wife showed up and said, some guy with a gun for sale has called the house twice and wants you to call him. I made arrangements and went to meet the guy at a spot half way between us. I bought the BL22 and while we were talking, he said he preferred the Marlin .22 lever guns. I told him I'd been looking for a nice older 39M for a number of years but had yet to find one reasonably priced. He said he had a 39M and a 39A but only needed one and would be willing to sell the other.
I followed him to his house where he pulled out a really nice old 39M. A deal was struck and I headed home with the BL22 and the 39M.
It was a good day!
