Re: Feeding problems in a rossi 92 .44 mag

Well if anyone else runs into this giving the gun a good degreasing and re lubricating it fixed the problem.

Re: Feeding problems in a rossi 92 .44 mag

Does anyone know any threads that might deal with this issue? The lifter seems like it's not coming up enough. The bullet come in at weird angles the either hitting low or more often now that now coming in at a high angle and hitting the top of the chamber. This is all new after I tightened the scre...
