Have not fired it yet. Triggers are heavy ,front one has very little take up,breaks clean. Rear one creeps forever mushy at let off. Weighs 6 pounds 10 ounces on my postal scale. Swings like a light 20 gauge double . Swivel loops are attached with a screw to mount . Removed swivel loops reamed mounts to take QD swivel loops . Going to put shot gun 2x scope on it. Scope mount that came with gun was loose on the rail on gun . Ordered a better on on ebay. If it is loose I am going to do a little milling on it. Due to triggers I am not going to fire it till i get the scope mounted.

I always gave that rifle a lot of second glances, I bet it's a thumper on both ends at 6+ pounds.
Hope the triggers break in for you and you get the scope set up.
Give us a range report when you get it wringed out.

Very interesting. Not sure I want one, but it's cool. 
So, per TIMC's comment, am I correct in thinkin' the barrel regulation is adjustable? If so, how does that work?

There is a jack screw in the bottom rib. As I understand it, you actually flex the barrels into alignment.

Just what the heck do you have hiding in that Oklahoma tall grass?

I would love to have one of those. I think it would work great around here for pigs and deer.
Took the bottom off the receiver, the sear springs were so strong could not compress them with my fingers. put much softer springs in but the sears would not catch the hammers. Got some Century C500 5/32x 9/16 springs cut 1/8 inch off them . triggers are a lot better. the mushy left trigger was caused by the sear arm sliding off to the side of the trigger.Bent it in for better contact. Only hit the impact driver [ the kind u hit with a hammer ] one time to break the 6 point screw loose

It would make a pretty decent hog whacker, but it ain't like my .308 is broke. I think it's just the idea of an affordable double rifle that attracts my interest.

No Buffalo Bore loads then?
Those kind of loads provide lots more recoil but no real advantage otherwise. A bullet that size and weight does not have to be going very fast to be very effective.

Marlin Levers in 45-70's are loaded to about 27,000 PSI. FYI 2200 BAR is 31900 PSI you should be safe with those loads
