Rossi 92 👍🏻👎🏻

Need some opinions on the Rossi 92 carbine. I have my eyes on a .357 mag model 92. Good to good or hell no?

I've never owned one, but I've heard nothing but good about them. I especially like the Stainless models. I saw one at a gun show a few years back, and it was beautiful. Another gun I should have bought. The stocks are pretty plain and straight grained. But that's to be expected on that type of gun. Winchester used the same kind of wood. Except on their high grade guns. And those were high dollar weapons.

I own one in stainless.  The only problem I have had with it involves a take-down pin that liked to back out enough to totally jam the action.  In other words, opening the lever would eject the spent cartridge just as it's supposed to.  But the action would jam as it was closed without seating the new cartridge.  When that happened, the lever would not move in either direction.  A local gunsmith (I am being generous with that nomenclature) managed to beat it apart and peened the pin after he seated it.  It seems to shoot okay now, but it is no longer a trustworthy carbine.  I really liked the gun and wish it wasn't so, but I couldn't recommend it in good faith.

FWIW

I own one but I have never shot it. (Yes I KNOW that is a sin). Hope to shoot it in spring. The action feels good and the trigger is fair. Nothing to write home about but not bad and I am sure after 1k rounds it will be nice.

I shot one in Cowboy action for 5 years, I smoothed up the action and it worked great. One caveat, The .357's are known to feed either 38's perfectly or only .357's, rarely both.Mine would balk on .38's but .357's ran through it like crap through a goose.It's a rifle I wish I had kept and if I get the opportunity to get it back from the guy I sold it to I will.

I have one that I shoot for SASS.  I love it!  Right out of the box I did what drives some nuts.  I took it apart, put in a stainless steel magazine follower, took emery cloth to the lever and several other parts to slick it up, a little other tweaking, and it is 100%.  Smooth, fast, and I have never jammed it ... Now that I say that I am going to get back on the range when Rona passes, it will be a jam fest on first stage.

After you get past the tummy flip flops of removing bluing and metal from a brand new rifle, we will go after the Stoeger Coach Gun.

I hear great things and no so great things, but it’s a great looking gun. The Henry rifles are just priced out of my range. I’m on the fence about it. Dang it

At least the damn government won't be going after those for a short while.

I would not count on that.  If they pull off this obvious presidential election fraud they will be emboldened and will come for everything.
