My new Puma .44 mag smooth as butter I can shoot all 10+1 rounds almost as fast as a semi-auto so easy to crank the lever action .
So nice, in fact, that they'll convince you to try out the classic intro to The Rifleman.
All one has to do is sit in front of the T.V. w/ an empty weapon and work the action for 30 min. a night for a few days and it will smooth it's self out.
Most of what one feels as roughness (unless they have a bad rifle) is the force required to cock and ride over the hammer. This is especially true of the marlins.
