Looking to possibly trade for one of these locally. Are they good cast bullet shooters? He says round count is 150 rds total. He says very accurate. Very good shape too. I am gonna get pics this afternoon. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks:-D

I failed to mention that this is the 96/44 levergun. It feeds from a 4 shot rotary mag like the one in a 10/22.

The barrels are hard and require a thousand or more high antimony rounds to adjust them for 2 inches at a hunnert. Paramount, though, is their non-ability to accept anything other than the LFN style of boolits, at no more than 0.3 inches out of the case. Any kind of wadcutter is a no-go. I will add that THIS gun is my favorite lever gun with zero reservations about saying it. One finger cycling is all that is required. ... felix
