They zip lock the lever at Big5 for the display models and they won't let you try the action. I've learned that by saying you don't like this display model because it has a mark or scratch you can ask to see one from the back...they go to the back and bring out a box with a gun that hasn't been zip-...

I've handled many of them and for the discrimiating knife enthusiast, they are among the finest available. Their prieces are very fair if you consider what it takes to complete the entire knife and sheath by hand. For those who don't know, Randall blades are forged, not the stock removal method used...

Special thanks to Mr Steve Young,

Thank you for the time you spent with me on the phone and for your advice on how to fix my Rossi 92. Last night I had given up on it and listed it for sale here on the classifieds as a 38 sp. only that won't feed 357 mag. This morning I decided I to keep cutting the cartridge guides even if I had to...

They still have a lot of US made knives. As much as I'd like to see more products made in the USA, we just can't compete with manufacturing countries such as China and some others. It must be apparent that most Americans don't mind paying less regardless of were a product was manufactured. Buck is a...

Thanks for all your replies. I spoke with Steve and he gave me some guidance on how to fix it...Thank you Steve! Since I first posted I stripped the wood stock and refinished it...I know why they used the dark stain...what an ugly piece of wood! Sanding it I could smell the wood and because of the s...

I need to try to fix it myself before spending more money. My gun budget is pretty tight these days, 2 kids, wife, mortgage etc...!
I'd really appreciate some how-to advice.

Thanks

Help with Rossi 92, won't feed 357 at all but it loves 38's

I finally got a Rossi 92 in 357 mag but I'm having a major problem with it, it cycles 38's perfectly but it won't feed 357 mag ammo at all. I searched the entire WWW to find information on how to adjust it to feed the 357 mag but found nothing. I found a similar topic for adjusting them to shoot 38'...

I like the Puma 92 better. It's slicker looking, balances better and I feel the fit & finish are better than the Marlin. But both work!

Did somebody say scope? No thanks!

New here but can talk a little about the sp101. Ive owned a bunch of different handguns and the one that I use and love the most is my 3" SP101 in 357mag.

It's the right right weight for carrying and handles the hot stuff. I have a rubber monogrip in it.
