Were you the 'Marlin Man'???
Dat's good shootin'.
I got a .22 lever Henry for a 'fun gun'. It works and shoots great (offhand, open sights for me so no tiny groups even at 25).
Somehow my wife was able to make it malfunction about 8 out of 10 times. You know, you operate it by cocking it all the way forward and all the way back. Somehow I was able to point out about a dozen things she was doing wrong to cause it to malfunction, but she never caught on. I was happy though, because she DID go to the range with me and we had phun.
