That was the first gun I ever bought. I found a 190 with scope at K-Mart for a grand total of $48 bucks. I shot the snot out of it.
That gun has one particular problem and I have seen several guns do it. The barrel will move foward and the gun will start to misfire. You will see a gap between the forearm and the receiver when it does this.
If your gun does this just remove the forearm and you will see a nut at the receiver that tightens against the barrel. Just loosen and tap the barrel back in place and tighten the nut. It would be a good idea to remove the nut and clean the threads and add locktite to the threads. I had to retighten mine 3 different times. I didn't know about the locktite trick.
I hope you enjoy your gun as much as I did mine. Mine was marked S,L,LR but all I ever shot was LR rounds. I wish I still had mine.
And just in case you didn't know it those were also made as a lever action. I had one in 22 mag. Fun little guns.
