The Marlin 39A is the oldest and longest continuously produced shoulder firearm in the world. The current variation gold trigger lever-action .22 Caliber Golden 39A is produced by the Marlin Firearms Co. of New Haven, Connecticut. The Golden 39A was last constructed in Remington’s Marlin factory in Ilion, NY. Production ended with the bankruptcy and closing of the Remington Marlin factory closing and sale to Ruger in September, 2020.

As of 2022, the 39A appears out of production. The Ruger company bought out the remaining Marlin production, but no new Marlin .22 cal rifles are currently available. The model 336 and the 1895 are now in North Carolina Ruger / Marlin factory production as of 2023.
