Alrighty, bit the bullet and my Cimarron Lightning has a 20" roundbarreled baby brother. The funny forearm is a Colt repro. in a nasty brown/green. The slide/bolt part of the action is very very smooth, but trigger pull is horrendous. Probably 8-10 lbs would be a close guess. Wiggles the hammer back when pulled, so its not square on the sear I think. It is an AWA International gun, one of the early out of business guns. Talked to Russell at AWA yesterday, and plan to send it in to get refitted with good parts. Should come back as a good shooter. He seemed very happy to help regain AWAs name. With service like that, I think AWA will make a comeback. DM
