Yeah, he seems to know what he is talking about. He knows all he can do is polish it. I learned something new from him: lock time, the time it takes from hammer break to primer strike, is longer on lever actions than bolts and is one of the contributing factors to accuracy issues of all lever guns. If he can get it closer to 4 lbs from the current 5.2 lbs, I will be happy. He suggested hand loading too which I will do if my dies ever get in. I am a little disappointed to hear the stock is not factory, but I guess I should not care that much... as I said it will be a working gun for me, not so much a collector's gun. Thanks for the reply.
