I have a chance to pick up a octagonal barreled 45 Colt with an MR serial number. I will get to handle it this week before I buy it. I saw the reviews that say the finish is rougher than the JM Marlin models but that if it functions well (and is put together properly), they are good shooters.
I'm planning to cycle it with dummy rounds to test it. Anything else I should try, short of shooting it? I can probably do that before purchasing it since I know the seller pretty well.
