I got a Golden Boy in trade fully intending to sell it cuz I have a Winnie 9422 and a BSA Martini single shot which is also kind of a lever. Does not look like its gonna get sold. I have become attached and yea, they are a SMOOTH action. One of the purdiest 22 levers I have seen too. The Golden Boy has a hex barrel and looks like a real good set of Marbles sights. Mine came with a firesight bead and it is a delight to shoot. Damn its a slick little lever and the ladies love it. Good thing I gave my old lady the 9422....
