I'll second all of that. I've owned three and they all required TLC, from a lot to a little, to make them remotely comparable to the Winchesters I grew up with. I've done my own lever action (and other) triggers for years but will freely admit errors along the trial and error learning process. Rossi/Taurus are not generous with parts, so keep that in mind. Hiring it out to someone, who fully understands lever actions, is the best money you can spend on it.
