I've been do'n some diggin around and basicly what your say'n is par for the course, I sold my old trusty rusty Marlin 60 because the trigger was spongy and way more travle than any gun should have, but it was a excellent shooter even aftre 25ish years of heavy service.
Now that ther is a fix for the trigger I'm gettin another one and workin the trigger over, look out squirrels.
