Easily scoped? The top eject Winchester is easily scoped. It may take some practice for the shooter if you are used to the modern scope directly over the bore. Over the years many have posted the old side-mounted Winchesters with game. The best mount systems I have used are produced by Williams comp...

Is it possible to do a trigger/hammer swap or is everything different internally?

junkwrencher

Gareth, try the link I posted, this rifle is almost the same as yours if it is drilled and tapped from the factory for a receiver sight. Over here the weaver-type base is available for about $10 American. The Williams 5D is available here for less than $50 and you can avoid drilling your gun full of...

Ranch Dog, thank you very much. I ordered my screws. They come three to a pack and they are on back-order. I waited on the phone at caller #11 for 45+minutes but the customer service people were very nice and did what I needed.

junkwrencher

Ranch Dog, could you supply me with the Rossi part # and route you used with some detail with Rossi etc. I've contacted Nate Jones and M&M Gunsmithing and neither could help me out. I've also been to several hardware stores and tried to find a similar screw thread pitch or even some threaded rod...

junkwrencher

Kirkd, could you post some pictures of the barrel contour/bluing as well, btw, the wood and reciever are beauitiful.

junkwrencher

I do not understand why the slow in popularity other than the new caliber craze. I am also a fan of the .25-20(.25WCF). I was going to suggest you try Unique, but it looks like you probably have thought of that already. As far as the cartridge, it is just about perfect for eastern game small and lar...

junkwrencher

I don't need a gunsmith, just a screw. I'm in the present east and have been using Rossi for a couple of years with no problems. The broke screw is not a failure of the firearm while in use but rather general dis-assembly which is and should be done from time to time. If you've never pulled the fore...

I was taking it apart to thin the wood and inspect for rust. Compared to an original it is a little fat especially on the forearm. It also boasts some very sharp edges near the barrel. The threads broke in the wood which seamed to be swelled.

junkwrencher

Disassembling my new Rossi carbine, I broke the screw that goes through the forearm band. I am trying to figure out the thread pitch on the screw. .8X1.815 maybe? I believe the diameter is 4mm. I have a 4mm X 1.125 and it is not even close.

Old Ironsights, Junior much missed? I love his website Frugal Outdoorsman, and have read much of his work at Castboolits. He did a great deal of work with the Rossi 92 and the Winchester 94.

junkwrencher

A websight called the frugal outdoorsman has a very good tear-down/re-assembly article by Junior Doughtery(sp). I used for my first and had no problems at all.

junkwrencher

Just from the pictures, they did some quality work.

I am a lasics patient with stigmatism and eyeglasses. I use Bushnell Insta-focus. As the name implies there is no focus, just look. They are fast, simple and treestand proof atleast once. I also used and owned a pair of Jason no-focus binoculars that worked very good.

junkwrencher

I bought my stainless 24" octagon in 2011 and it came with the mounting screws in the box for the aftermarket tang sight, as for the thread pitch I have not an answer. My rifle is branded Rossi.

junkwrencher

I own three, I deer and varmint hunt with them all. I own an old Winchester 94 in the dirty-thirty caliber, but the little '92 clones are very easy to carry and ammo is easier to carry and less expensive in my area. I keep the 94 incase I every go west of the Mississippi. If we look at history howev...

junkwrencher

Steve, I too want a shooter carbine and was wondering if the AA had or has the safety features of the issue rifles that keeps them from firing out of battery. I was looking into a Universal and reading various sites and came across some information that led me to believe some civilian makers possibl...

junkwrencher

Pitchy, I believe the knife you have in the photo at one time was the Old-timer Deerslayer?/Deerhunter. I once found a Sharpfinger in the woods of the same make.

junkwrencher

Barnes X-bullet. Craig Boddington spoke on this subject and recommended keeping the shots at one-hundred yards and under for humane, quick kills, most loads in .223 with 50 grain bullets still have right at 1000ft/lbs.@ 100yrds. Shot placement.

junkwrencher

The seller also has a take-down and a short-rifle that looks to be a cut down 1894. On the topic at hand, I zoomed in on the barrel and .30 WCF is legible. However, the location of the barrel band and front sight do not appear to be original. As if the smith patterned the gun after one with screw-on...

junkwrencher

I was wondering if anyone knew if any current manufacturers are using 3031 in factory loadings.Winchester, Remington, Federal etc....?In .30-30 Winchester of course......

junkwrencher

There was a time I didn't understand the mechanics of the '94 Winchester and it was available in the Ranger trim and less expensive than the Marlin and easier to teardown and re-assemble than a '92. Being made in America didn't hurt it either. Now it is history. The dump truck analogy is interesting...

junkwrencher

What other than weight do these mauser intended bullets have over .30 carbine jacketed soft-points?Canalure?

junkwrencher

Maybe I should have been more specific, production numbers in .357 reguardless of......... configuration.

junkwrencher

How many in all configurations were made start to finish in .357 and how does this compare to total Marlin 1894 .357 production.I don't see alot of these.

junkwrencher

Does anyone know how many 94's in .357 were manufactured start to finish, all models and configurations including top-eject, angle-eject, grades, etc. total production. Then how does this compare to the Marlin 1894 production numbers? I don't see alot of these.

junkwrencher

Here's the link I'm refering to, notice in the writing at the bottom of the page. http://www.rossiusa.com/2011newcatalog/?catalog_page=8 In response to COsteve's question why? To take Marlin's share of the 1894 market. A working man's gun for a working mans price. The same reason I bought the Rossi ...

junkwrencher

Olyinaz, they're already chambering 45-70, I'm wondering if they're going to use the 1894 Marlin design and produce pistol cartridge guns using this design.

junkwrencher

If Rossi has the 336/1895 design or something like it, how long until they get ahold of the 1894 design and start turning out clones of that fine rifle? Is this possible?

junkwrencher

After much discussion here and many questions I made the plunge and bought an all stainless 24" Rossi model 92. I found the gun to be very functional right out of the box. I did a short cycling video using only my thumb and index finger to cycle the action to show how smooth the gun is. I had m...

I enjoyed it also. I was especially taken with the caracter Ben Lily, they either found some of his kin folk or computer regenerated his likeness. If you knew Ben or have seen his actual photographs you'll know what I mean. The caracter in the movie carried a longrifle(read muzzleloader) and Ben mig...

I'm about to bite the bullet and have mine drilled for a Williams 3A side mount. B-square makes one that is a no-drill but I think it would be too frail for my needs. I need something extremely rugged. The Williams 3A is intended for the Winchester 1892, 1886 and other older Winchester rifles. I pla...

I recently purchased a Braztech Rossi 92 clone in .357 stainless with a 24" octogon tube. I had worries that from the get-go I would be 'smithing on the gun. I was terribly wrong, it is smooth and functions unbelievably well. Apples to oranges, I purchased a pre-move 1894C Marlin for $30 dollar...

junkwrencher

Those of you involved in this post, do you consider Starline to be superior to say Winchester, Remington and Magtech? If so why, I'm preparing to make a purchase soon, and do you prefer nickel or brass?

junkwrencher

Same topic, different tool, how about with a Lee Loader, I've not collapsed any bullets, jacketed or not, trying to crimp in the canalure. Am I just lucky or is this tool designed not to crimp too heavy?

junkwrencher

In TN an archery hunter cannot carry any firearm unless he/she has a carry permit. In states that don't allow even that, a hunting knife with a blade long and strong enough to reach the vitals of a large predator is mandatory and should be on one's person even without the "belly" gun. Read...

junkwrencher

Several of the adds by seller state that he has the last of the inexpensive 92 reproductions, and the new ones will have a high price tag if ever produced. Is this true? Could it be that Nate Kiowa Jones knows?

junkwrencher

I've beat you and this forum to death with my 92 scope mount questions, here's another. Does this mount have one large knurled screw/nob that holds the mount to the gun and then two ''set'' screws come down on top of the reciever? I'm just about to drop the cash on my own 92. The photos and ideas yo...

junkwrencher

Thanks for the responses men. As for the Rossi, I was interested in the twenty-four inch stainless vs. the 1894css. I understand the Rossi can be used as-is but I want to at least put a peep on it($60+) for a Skinner or Steves'. As to the prices of both guns I shop the Gunbroker website very religeo...

junkwrencher

By the time you buy Steve's video/parts kit and peep, the Rossi is not a good deal unless that's what I want. I recently purchased a pre-move Marlin .357 in blue and did no mods and it functioned reliably with .38's and .357's. I must either make up my mind or buy both. By the way is the carrier in ...

I'll tell you guys what I use for a "tree stand", it is a plastic lawn chair with the legs cut short with a hack saw and the sharp edges filed smooth. I then ran a nylon strap through the back and throw it over my shoulder on my hike in. It is light weight, comfortable and I've shot deer, ...

junkwrencher

Thanks griff, how about .312 or .313 jacketed pistol bullets in a .308 bore? Will this ruin my barrel? I've read of people doing this with the .30-30. I don't have a problem doing this with cast. As for the why? I like the mildness of the .357 but I want to shoot my .30-30 instead of buying another ...

I would like to load something equal to .357 rifle velocity(less than 2000fps with 125 grain Sierra jacketed hollow points.).

I've been looking at the one TC sells, it is not leather but looks attractive and is basically impervious to conditions.

junkwrencher

After reading some of the durability comments I must tell a couple of things that I experienced. A long time ago I became involved in a situation that required me to kill a deer with my rifle. I had run out of ammunition and lost my knife and had used all other means. Needless to say I literally bro...

junkwrencher

10-4 and a big thanks. So a long eye relief shotgun scope and a peep are possible!

junkwrencher

Is it possible to use a one piece scope base and a Williams 5D on the last run of American made Winchesters? The reason I ask is because in my area they seem to cost less than the top eject models.

junkwrencher

Or.....could I possibly inlet/carve the plastic Ram-Line forend to fit my end cap?

junkwrencher

To change over the AS model to the latter, do I just add a barrel band and forearm or are the screw grooves in the barrel and magazines different?The reason I'm asking, I'd like to put the Ram-Line stock set on an AS rifle by adding a barrel band instead of the end cap on the forearm.
