I had my Marlin slicked up. I didn't think it could ever cycle so smooth!. I had him try my '66 to see what he thaught about workin on it also. He filled it up, shot it and handed it back and said 'don't waste you money! I couldn't make it any smoother'
I had been shootin it fer 4 years at that time. It's kinda heavy but it shoots real nice
Good shootin......
