I was real disapointed in the marlin smith. i was expecting something simular to an old L.C. I really can't see any simularity.
The 410 is built on a 20ga frame making it weigh just as much as the 12ga.
So i purchased a CZ instead. This small frame 410 is a wonderfull shooting gun with allot of features you would see on more expensive guns. The only Complaint i would have about the CZ is really my fault. I should have gotten an upgraded wood.
