I bought Steve's DVD kit to make it race ready. I am not a gunsmith, However after watching the DVD, I felt like none of the alterations would help with feeding issues. Am I wrong about that? Yes...the single best modification to improve feeding in a Rossi is replacing the stock ejector spring with...

If you're going to shoot leverguns, you're going to do the vast majority of your cleaning from the muzzle end. I have leverguns I've been cleaning that way for almost 50 years. If done carefully & gently, I see no need to worry at all. I've never seen the slightest "rod wear" or fall-...

Sounds like the OP's gun is just about the same way mine was when I first got it. It would feed and shoot .38's perfectly, but .357's would hang up on the top edge of the chamber entrance. I found the simplest solution was factory ammo that utilized 158gr semi jacketed soft points that worked the ab...

I'm in Chicago area on business. Went to Cabelas. Very few used guns available. Two months ago I was there and they had 8-10 racks of used rifles. Now only 4 and not completely filled. Then I went to GAT Guns in West Dundee..............Holy "Blank" Batman! What a selection of firearms. A...

Dawg

A place like that does not come to mind when someone mentions "Chicago". Maybe they are hoping to generate some business when Illinois becomes a CCW state soon? Kevin Yeah, like I'm gonna hold my breath for that. :x If I ever get up north I'll stop at Gat Guns. Hear about them, but never ...

Like Shasta, I wear glasses, and I grew tired of lesser quality binoculars that did not give me a full field of view. So a few years ago I bought a pair of Leica 10 x 42 binoculars. What a revelation! They are truly a prize, providing crisp, bright and clear images all the way to the edges with no ...

The two "Must Do" mods to make, are the Ejector spring and the follower. And of couse get Steves DVD so you know how to take it apart to do the ejector spring. Those are the two biggies. You dont need to mess with anything else. But, the ejector spring that Steve sells, is without a doubt ...

Joe, being from Illinois, and having just turned 60 last Friday, I can empathize on what you are saying. I am about 40 miles west of Chicago, and the only ranges around here charge $20 per hour, and $20 per hour and a half. There is a shooting club about 30 miles west from here that is outdoors, but...

One question though - did you have to hold the gun upside down to get that group...

Nah, but I did hold the camera upside down though.

This is not isolated by any stretch. Cabelas in Hoffman Estates Illinois, had a full second floor and it had an absolutely amazing display of African game mounts in beautiful diaramas, and they closed off the entire floor and consolidated all the retail space onto one floor. Why? Because other than ...

Dawg

Thanks for the suggestions. Some good info. I have since found out that Skinner is now offering a Peep sight specifically for the Rossi 92's that mounts in the rear dovetail. Might be the thing to use with the front that AMJD429 posted. The point about the eye centering the front sight when using a ...

Dawg

Eyes are getting old and tired. Sure would like a nice fiber optic set for my Rossi.

Dawg

Quote; I was thinking about the FTX bullets.....I bought a couple of boxes of Critical Defense rounds, and the hollow points are pointy enough they fit nicely in the primers of the rounds in front. I didnt want to chance it, so I used them in my revolver. Well Hornady claims they are made specificl...

Dawg

They had the Hornady "leverevolution" ammo there in stock and I may go back and buy some later. Their all kind of pricey to shoot at a target just for fun. Hunting or self defence is a different story. The Hornady, XTP full metal jacket hollow point ammo cannot chain fire, any more than a...

OK, so I went to my favorite local gun shop this morning and tried every kind of 357 Magnum cartridge that they had in stock........................................................................NOT! Well they would have let me but that might have been pushing it just a bit, but I did look it all ...

This is what I use...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL_svz99Kok Bought the first pair around 1973, and just replaced them two years ago. Back in 1984 while deer hunting in the U.P. of Michigan in the swamps, I stepped onto thin ice, and both feet sank deep enough that water went over the tops of...

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

They fill a niche, that much is certain. They have some very interesting designs. I have a Sub2000 in 9mm, and from my experience, the gun has not had a single failure to feed, fire or extract rounds. There are shortcomings in the design though. The front sight is horrendous, and they have a habit o...

Dawg

Thats a great pair you have there.....I sure hope Thomas shows back up soon. I am a critter person myself, and I would be beside myself if one of mine turned up missing. Prayers out for a safe return.

Dawg

Thanks for a great historical summary on the Rossi's Steve. All I know, is that I cherish my Rossi 92, especially after giving it the once over with Steve's instructions from his DVD, and replacing the horrid stock ejector spring, magazine follower and safety with parts that Steve offers on his webs...

Sorry for the loss of Spike, Sixgun. He looked like a handsome little guy. I have a Papillion, and there is a little brown Yorkie on our walk route that my little guy is buddies with. I have a friend who is a retired county Sheriffs Deputy that lives on Bull Shoals lake in Arkansas, and he has a 50 ...

Sadly the new guns coming out of Ilion are pretty pathetic. I got to handle a few a couple of weeks ago, and the levers were very hard to operate.

I was thinking about posting my 1894CS that dates from 1989 for sale, but I am having second thoughts.

Dawg

There are two different types of carriers for these guns (New style and Old style), will either work in the C / CS model variations? Anyone know the cutoff for the old style and when the new style took over date wise? I have an 1894CS that was mfg in 1989, and was thinking about getting an extra car...

Dawg

Any advice for brands or bullet types that are best suited to use in the Rossi model 92 .357 lever guns? What are you wanting to use it for? Your question is just a tad too open-ended. For shooting.... :mrgreen: :D I was looking for what functions best, and most importantly with a keen eye towards ...

Thanks, guys, for the info. This might turn out to be a false alarm--or maybe not. After posting, I did what I should've done in the first place, & called Rossi . They're sending me a replacement screw which should be here in a week or two. What phone number did you have for " Rossi "...

I am so very sorry for your loss.......sadly Gods Angels dont seem to stay with us long enough.

Thanks for the post Dawg. Its good to hear that Steve's DVD worked so well for you. I'm looking forward to going through much the same as soon as Rossi sends a new shipment this way. Sorry to hear about the peep. My leanings were toward the peep, although I might even try Taurus' tang mount. Let us...

Dawg

Dawg, Welcome, congratulations on your 92. Steve is the man. I cannot, however, let the highlighted portion go, without a comment on safety: I went to my local range today and picked up a bunch of S&B FMJ .38's and '357's and it works great with both. The .38's shoot a little lower, but they sh...

I bought his DVD and the Mag follower and ejector spring. I spent a couple of hours yesterday tweaking my 38/.357 based on Steve's teachings from his excellent DVD. I could not believe how much difference his ejector spring made compared to the stock spring. I found that Rossi has thinned down the s...

We had multiple dogs in the past, but they are all gone now, and being that the wife and I are getting older, we thought a small dog would be better for us. That was a mistake, this little guy is a bundle of energy.

Barky is his name.

Dawg

My favorite was a 2004 Mustang Mach1. I kept it for three years and sold it. It was a garage queen, and just didnt seem too practical......not my house.

Thanks to Hobie for activating my membership, and hello to all the members. I am not a competitive shooter, but I sure do enjoy Cowboy guns......as well as just about any firearms.

I look forward to learning from everyone here.
