I got one with the intention of starting cowboy shooting, along with a pair of Vaqueros and a Marlin 1894. I never got to start this hobby and the only thing I have left is the 1894. The coach gun I thought was pretty neat. Only it was very stiff because it was new. I liked it and shot many clay bird with it to practice. I toyed with keeping it for grouse but decided to trade it in. Where were you when I was getting rid of it. You would have gotten a great deal.
