The person you need to contact is Hoot with the Third GA. He has done a lot of work with these. He does have several posts on this subject with good information on this forum. In fact I need to contact to him too. I also need a little extra green to implement his corrections. If AS has not changed them since I purchased mine they need a lot of work. The rear site was worthless and I replaced it with an original at an extra $125. The chamber is to large for the brass casing an I was getting blowback into the action and inconsistant shot placement. Overall the fit and finish on mine is fine but I can honestly say I have never had a good shooting experience wth it, though some were better than others. Previously fired unsized brass works best and with that I got my smallest shot groups but they were still inconsistant. It has been a long time since I pulled this rifle out of the cabnet as it is so frustrating as it comes off the shelf so I am forgetting some things.
If you want to shoot repeater with an out of the box model get a Henry in 44-40, every one on our repeater team swears by them. We do have one person shooting an original Spencer.
