The hole in the bolt can get battered in a few places and this can cause the Firing pin (FP) to bind. Places like where the FP retaining pin goes in. There at the back where the hammer hits the FP. If the FP is a bit short there the bolt will crater in a bit. A round file will cure some of those iss...

Rossi reams to max chambers so the gun will cycle more reliably. So, chambering these larger dia bullets isn't an issue. That's one of the reasons down loaded 45lc CAS ammo tends to blow by in the CAS rifles so bad. Heck, both my Uberti .45 Colt leverguns; the '66 and '73 scorch my Skyline brass wi...

Thanks guys.
I sent him a link to the post.

Some thoughts Nate....... ........................................ Any mould can be honed out, either by a machinist or by casting a bullet in that mould, inserting a screw directly in the middle of the base of the bullet with some valve grinding compound, cut the head off of the screw and spinning...

Awhile back about the early 2000's Rossi was using over sized bores (.433/.434) in there 44mag 92's. At that time I was the warranty station for one of the importers. Rossi said they were OK because the SAAMI specs for 44mag in a rifle showed the larger bullet. It took almost two years to convince t...

Hi Jim,
We did get a cool night last night. Got into the high 60's. But it got hot quick. It's back to 90 now and will to mid 90's or more by evening.

Nate Kiowa Jones

Good man. He will be missed.

Nate Kiowa Jones

Thanks Grizz. Just wondering whether these would have any advantage mechanically or accuracy wise over a Rossi 92? Both the 357's and the 44's started out with the 1 in 38 twist. At about the same time Marlins were doing the same. The guns did OK with full power ammo but not so well with the slower...

Nate Kiowa Jones

Thanks for the info Nate. My Rossi carbine is a late 2008 manufacture I got NIB in early 2009 and I looked under the rear sight and don't think mine is d&t. FWIW, I got your Slick Up kit and DvD as well as the safety plug which was loose so I actually did the same thing to tighten it up. I fact...

Nate Kiowa Jones

Steve, Thanks for buying my stuff. You might check under that rear sight too. The current production guns are drilled and tapped for a scout scope rail. (don't know why. They haven't made the rail in years :? ) You will need some 6x48 plug screws. Here lately I have been getting reports that the pee...

Nate Kiowa Jones

Okay, I just bought a stainless Rossi 92 carbine in 44 Magnum. I have a 454 Cassul barrel and tubular magazine assembly. I am nearly certain that the 44 Magnum can be converted to 45 Colt — by swapping the two named devices that using ONLY 45 Colt ammunition and handloads, or by turning the 454 Cas...

Nate Kiowa Jones

sorry, wish I had seen it sooner. I do love the two that I have.... a lot of fun to shoot. no need for apologies. At that price I had a pretty go idea it was gone. I gave him a groan, though. He ask me what I thought it was worth. i told him there was one on gunbroker recently that went for $1750. :o

Nate Kiowa Jones

Yep,
Making a living and making a life are two different thing. Sadly most of use live the majority of our life before we figure that out.

The "grime" buildup in the chamber is a combination of lead and "ash" ... by-products of burning nitrocellulose. While it can build up if left, it is not unremoveable. I have taken care of it in 38/357's ... 44 Special/44 Magnums ... 454 Casull/45Colts over many years. If you ha...

Well, considering how well it shoots, even with that rear sight, I could leave it alone. Just a bit of touch up bluing and maybe on the front sight epoxy a very small brass bead. I just don't know of an epoxy that will be strong enough so the bead does not fall off under recoil and handling. But it...

Marlinman said it right....very hard to judge....they all come out different. About the only differences I can tell is the colors of the very early Colts from 1870's to 1880's or so appear like the civil war Colts...more mottled and not as vibrant. I've seen these Colts that were like new and were ...

I have 4 Dremels on my bench loaded with tips I use regularly. Saves time switching tip. I also have a Foredom I rarely use. Tips for use. Try to clamp the part so you have both hands free to hold the Dremel. Try to rest you forearms or wrist on the bench or something to stead you hold. BTW, Dremel ...

Nate Kiowa Jones

Yep, got one of those, too.

Sadly I probably have more trigger time on it than any thing else around here.

Nate Kiowa Jones

On the legal side, this can be called a gun but it is not a firearm. So, by definition it would not be BATF regulated. No fire no firearm.

The corded ones are brushed. The bushes are available from most hobby stores and I've change a few over the years but now I just send them back to Dremem for re-conditioned replacements.

Nate Kiowa Jones

I have 4 Dremels on my bench. Each one with a different cutoff/cratex/various stones. I have a spare and couple broke ones too. When I get down to no spare I box them up and send them to Dremel. They only charge about $20 to recondition them. Not worth my time to fix them myself

. IMO, fellow board member Mike Hunter does as good work as Turnbull: http://www.mikehunterrestorations.com/test.html . Absolutely.

For years dating back to about 1975 the made in Brazil Rossi 92 was imported by InterArms of Alexandria VA. Before InterArms. From about 1968-74 Garcia Corp. of Washington DC imported Rossi. Before that Firearms International of Washington DC imported Rossi in the mid 1960’s.

Nate Kiowa Jones

Does anyone here know (I'm betting NKJ does :wink: ) whether the threads on the Rossi 'Lever Pin Stop Screw' are the same as on a Winchester. The latter part will be much easier to locate, but I wondered if the threads are metric or somehow not the same as the Winchester ones. Someone evidently bro...

Nate Kiowa Jones

Thanks. Looks like I have some idea. The 125 8 is apparently likely a Julian date stamp, so a year ending in an 8. Rossi started doing stainless in the late 90's so that eliminates 1988. The safeties started to appear around the early 2000's , and it predates that. Im going with 1998 as a result. M...

Most likely it was an 80% or ghost gun reciever. As a non-licensee you are allowed to make a gun. But, you just can''t sell it.

Don't use it much. The only time is when I know I'll have a coat on. To stay in the coat though, it's gotta be pretty cold .

I got this Wells Fargo version just to convert. https://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o203/NateKJ/edited-image_zpstur6lq4q.png The CAS shooters will buy the old top breaks for the pocket pistol side matches. I think this is faster slip hammer style and easier to keep on target compared to double action

Nate Kiowa Jones

This comes up often. OK, The thing to keep in mind is these modern straight wall pistol caliber ammo leverguns (all, not just the 92’s) are a lot like semi-auto handguns. There’s just some ammo they aren’t going to work well with. All leveraction, pump action and semi-auto guns (long guns or handgun...
