Re: Laid Off? Need work? Post it here and lets network!

Hi, I'm currently laid off. Right now, I am doing work for my friend remotely. He repairs appliances. I take all his calls and I do his scheduling. If you are looking for someone to do some admin work for you, or answers your phones for you, I will do it for a good price. I can also monitor your onl...

Re: is Rossi still shipping leverguns?

If demand exceeds supply WHY are they shutting down factories?! Probably because the old factories date back to the 70s and produce less precise work, due to wear in the machinery,and produce at a slower rate. A new factory should increase production, and improve quality. If my assumption is correc...

Re: New Marlins 2017

Like others have said, I've heard that the quality has made a comeback recently but I'd be interested to get more definitive answers. I'd really like to be able buy the new Marlins worry-free.

Re: Rossi .357 Lever Action

UPDATE: I shot the rossi today for the first time in the pouring rain (under a cover) and it shot flawlessly. I brought four different brands of ammo and each one worked. I used .38 Winchester white box, .38 American Eagle red box (round nose), .38 Freedom Munitions hollow points, and Perfecta .357'...

Re: Rossi .357 Lever Action

No worries about spring set. You could leave it loaded for years and it won't affect the spring. That being said, if you're keeping it loaded for home defense, you need to shoot it regularly. Therefore, the magazine will be emptied at least once a month. Yes? From: https://www.physicsforums.com/thr...

Re: Rossi .357 Lever Action

ahh I am so excited! I just picked it up. I have 8 .38 snap caps and it cycled them! http://i.imgur.com/2CvlT3r.jpg The snaps were round nose (I think) so its good to know it will cycle them. This is by far the most fun gun I have, especially for dry firing. The snap caps actually cycle. http://i.im...

Re: Rossi .357 Lever Action

WELCOME! I owned a R92 .357, stainless, with a 16" barrel, it was a great gun, BUT, I sent it down the road because replacement parts are hard to obtain... If I was to get another .357 levergun it will be a Henry... :) PS- I fully understand the price of other .357 Leverguns. I recently owned ...

Re: Rossi .357 Lever Action

Welcome to the forum. When you get your new gun, feel how it closes, it should make a nice snickety snick sound as you work the action with no hangups anywhere, like glass. If it's not go to Stevesgunz.com and buy Steve's DVD, ejector spring, and magazine follower (if yours is plastic). Then take a...

Re: Rossi .357 Lever Action

Re: Rossi .357 Lever Action

. Welcome home...... :mrgreen: I had a 16" Big Loop Rossi M-92 awhile back (from Post Road Guns in Cranston), mounted a Williams 5D-94AE peep sight on it, and took it out dancing for a few years. I also shortened the magazine tube, because I wanted a button magazine (I like the look). Mine did...

Re: Rossi .357 Lever Action

Thanks! I'm hoping I like it. It's my first lever gun and probably the gun I am most excited about getting. I think revolvers and lever guns are classic cool haha. My next goal is to find an old pre-64 Winchester 92 rebored/rebarreled/re-chambered for .357. I saw one on Gun Broker once and I'm kicki...

Rossi .357 Lever Action

Hi All, I'm new the forum. I thought I found some pretty interesting information on the .357 Rossi lever actions. I had been looking for a .357 lever action for a while in 1892. I hadn't had much luck but I did find a few Winchesters and Chiapas available for $900+. But I wanted something simple, li...
