Thanks for the advice guys. I should have stated that I shoot my friends Ruger Alaskan in .454 all the time and I love it. We usually shoot .45LC out of it to save money and wrists. My father-in-law and I hunt regularly with .44MAG. He uses a 8" Ruger SuperRedHawk and I use a Rossi '92 rifle wi...

Well, I am in the market for a double action wheelgun in 44MAG. I've been drooling over some S&W 629s and 29s for a while but I'm having a hard time swallowing the prices. I wanted to get some opinions on other makes like Ruger, Taurus, etc. The main purpose of this gun will be backwoods persona...

If a mode of carry causes you to carry without a loaded gun (one in the chamber), then find a different mode of carry. A gun is useless unless its loaded. Thinking that you can skin that smoke wagon, rack the slide, aim...and all that in a critical incident is a good way to get yourself killed. You ...

Definitely got to see Act of Valor. Can't wait. I really appreciate you veterans telling some of your own experiences. You put it all on the line and I'm sure I speak for most of us here by saying Thank you for your service and valor protecting our lives and our freedom. Words cannot describe what g...

I've read references to drilling and tapping the barrel band of the '92 lever actions but I haven't found the instructions. Can anyone point me in the right direction for instructions on this procedure?

Thanks.

Irelander

I'm definitely not worried about spring set. The mag tube is usually not fully loaded anyway. I am concerned about bullet setback though.

Irelander

Would there be any problems shooting PACO modified flat nosed .22LR ammo through a suppressor?

Irelander

I have been leaving my R92 .44MAG magazine tube loaded. I take my dogs for woods walks almost everyday and I carry the .44MAG...just in case. I don't feel like loading it everyday so I keep the chamber empty and the magazine full. I started wondering if the constant pressure of the magazine spring w...

Irelander

Well, I would definitely like to keep the tradition and nostalgia of the rifle. But I guess back in '92 they didn't really use slings much. I'm considering tapping the barrel band on the side for a QD stud and putting a QD stud in the side of the buttstock. I have also thought about forgetting the s...

Irelander

I sure am. I'm just about an hour north of Pitt.

Irelander

I've considered Nate's peep that replaces the safety but I do like the nostalgic look of the tang peep. I also wonder how sturdy that safety peep is.

Irelander

Ok, here's a few pictures. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e101/irishlad_25/Lever%20Action%20Rifles/ROSSI92_SS_44M_16_001.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e101/irishlad_25/Lever%20Action%20Rifles/ROSSI92_SS_44M_16_004.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e101/irishlad_25/Lever%20Action%20Rif...

There have been several sightings of lions around the other farms in my area in the last year or more. Game Commission confirmed lion tracks about a mile from my place. We also had a lion in the field across the road from me. It snatched one of the neighbors chickens. My neighbor shot at it with a p...

Irelander

OK, I got my Rossi 92 stainless 16" .44MAG last year. WOO HOO! Took it deer hunting but came up short. That's another story. It shoots great and functions great. I did smooth things up and it feels so good and I refinished the stock. With mountain lion sightings near our place, I carry this bad...

One of the bravest, toughest, most honest, gentle men in history. Probably the greatest leader I have ever heard of. He will be missed.

Irelander

I cycled through some of my father-in-law's reload yesterday. They cycled fine. Today I will hopefully get to shoot a couple.

Irelander

Well I'm done refinishing the stock on my '92. I'll post some pics later. The forend came out better than the buttstock but I guess I don't really care. I think the stain I used just wasn't the best for refinishing stocks. Anyway, I also tore the action down and slicked things up. I'm liking it.

Nice looking 44 MAG. I'm still refinishing the stock on my new Rossi 92 in 44MAG. Haven't even shot the thing yet.

Irelander

OK, I got my first lever-action yesterday, a Rossi 92 in .44MAG with a 16" barrel. I'm going to reload for this gun since my father-in-law has tons of .44MAG reloading components for his Ruger Super Redhawk and he offered them for me to use with my new rifle. Now I just need a little informatio...

Irelander

A minor tip- we were shooting on a rainy day(otherwise known as days off{like today}) and discovered that the stocks are simply treated with a waterbase stain that turns your hands yellow. After cleaning things up and drying the wood for a couple of days, I ran a few coats of Birchwood Caseys Truoi...

Irelander

Here she is, nice and shiny. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e101/irishlad_25/Lever%20Action%20Rifles/MYROSSI92.jpg I agree with AJMD429, this could easily become my favorite gun. I haven't shot it yet, but hopefully soon. I think at some point I might refinish the stock because I can't really see...

Irelander

Picked up my new Rossi 92 in 44MAG today. I'll post some pics after work.

Irelander

Nice!

How much did you pay for your '60?

Irelander

Ysabel Kid, I'd love to see a pic of your 1860 if you got one.

Irelander

Wow. I watched Silverado the other day and just went on a search to find out what Danny Glover was shooting cause it was a sweet looking lever action. Minutes ago I found out that it was a 1860 Henry. Found a couple of threads on it here and took a look at Uberti's website. DANG! That is a rifle I'd...

Irelander

I'd stay clear of the Walther P22s. I know they are neat guns and very fun to shoot but there are way too many reports of problems with reliability and breakage.

Stick to the Ruger, Buckmark, or Marvel .22 conversion. Proven designs for years of fun.

Irelander

Well, I put down $200 on the stainless 16" .44MAG Rossi at my dealer. Hopefully this month I will have the rest of the cash to bring it home.

Irelander

You say you need something for pest control? Well if you don't usually carry earplugs around, you might as well spend a little extra and fix it up like this: http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e101/irishlad_25/Buckmark/BuckmarkTAC651911_031210_0002.jpg That is my Browning Buckmark with a Tactical Sol...

Irelander

Awesome guns guys. I can't wait to get one and join the club.

Irelander

Ok, I'm new to lever guns and should have my first Rossi 92 pretty soon. So in the meantime, I'd love to see pictures of all your '92 lever actions, be it Rossi, Win., etc. A man can't have too many pictures of guns. So post some pics for all to see your glorious collection. One of these days I plan...

A - 10 = BADASS!

Love seeing those A-10s get some!

Awesome!

I wish I had the know-how and equipment to do that kind of work.

I stopped in at the gun shop yesterday and fondled a Rossi 92 .44MAG with a stainless 16" barrel. It was all I could do to leave it at the store. That will definitely be what I get. I just need to unload a Glock 29 that I've been trying to sell. If your interested, check out the classified sect...

Irelander

I'd like a Rossi 92, stainless, .44MAG, with a handy 16" barrel. I don't have any lever-guns yet so this would be a nice starter.

Irelander

I just called my local gun dealer...this isn't getting any easier. He has two Rossi 92s in stock...both stainless..."short barrels"...one in .357MAG...one in .44MAG. Maybe by the time I get over there he will only have one left and that will make my decision easier. He wants $442.00 for ei...

My membership is up in Feb. I'll make sure to use your site for renewing. Thanks!

Irelander

I was planning on not renewing my membership due to the NRA's support of Harry Reid. After reading the above posts I've changed my mind. You are right, you can't make a difference from outside the organization.

Do you have any discounts for renewing members?

Irelander

Thanks for all the input guys. I really appreciate your help and kindness. I just don't have the coin to spend on one of Steve's guns right now, but I'm sure he will be seeing my gun in the future for some work. I'm definitely going to get the stainless model 92. I keep going back and forth with the...

Irelander

Thanks Steve. Email inbound.

Those are a couple of nice looking Rossis. I think stainless 20" is the way to go.

Irelander

With the calibers/cartridges you're talking about, check this website out: http://www.ballisticsbytheinch.com/357mag.html for 357mag and http://www.ballisticsbytheinch.com/44mag.html for 44mag. With .357 at least, it appears to reach peak velocity at about 16 inches, and can start to slow down in a...

Irelander

I will definitely not be mounting a scope on it. I like the idea of the Taurus tang sight, but I'm curious about how your shooting hand is positioned with a tang sight in place. I like the idea of the stainless being less to worry about when it gets wet, but the blued models just look better to me, ...

Irelander

OK, after a few years of drooling over a few choices of lever actions I have settled on the Rossi '92. My dilemma is that I'm not sure whether to get a .44MAG or .357MAG. I like the fact that the .357 can shoot .38Spl and both have lighter recoil than the .44MAG. I'd mostly use this gun for hunting ...
