As some folks have already said, just buy one (a Ruger) of many made since 84/85 to present (2006) in a variety of forms...plus the little Ubertis also mentioned. Wouldn't pay to convert anything I wouldn't think. Prices not that bad. I take (part of) that back...some of the early adjustable sighted...

I can remember back in the early 60's when I was young (wait-a-minute i'm still young) and still live at home. We lived in the counrty and there was no stock laws so there were lots of free ranging hog, wild true but many had ear marks for ownership. Anyway, one day while out with my dad we came up...

If they do make it I bet it will be made on the 32 H&R that they recently dropped. No loading gate, tube loaded. This time lets hope they make it as a round barrel carbine. The 32 H&R with it's oct 20" and twin mag tubes was just too front heavy. 10-4 to that -- plus, I sure wish they'...

Add to all of the above, Henry Fonda in Tin Star and Cheyenne Social Club.

If you could do only one thing, IMO I'd not do the engraving (unless you are set on doing it...and as stated you found one to do it well at the right price), but I would consider putting a pre-war stock on it from such as www.precisiongunstocks.com - just to make it "so." It's what I'm thi...

I agree with those saying "patience"--if you can. Admittedly an anomaly unfortunately, but I was lucky to be one of those that just happened upon a new/not-in-box one within the past nine months - in the $550 territory - delivered and FFL'd--to match a NIB .44 Mag I also lucked into a very...

Steve (Nate) didn't mention it but he can also "deal" with the stupid "new" (post Spring 06 on the EMFs, always on the LSI/Puma) safety atop the receiver--if it bugs you (like it does me and a bunch others). Otherwise, the same great 92 Rossi's been selling for years...and better...

http://www.precisiongunstocks.com Good rep. Nice walnut and they have a separate section for Rossi 92.

Bogus Bill has some ideas. Sometimes, you've got to say - "what the hell..." and just do what you want to and enjoy it and the speculative future value as an old safe queen (or even shot/used as is--but no more) be darned. I had a friend to did a blasphemous thing - refinished an original ...

I watched it recently also. I enjoyed it for down time entertainment, but a few things puzzled me. I can handle some out of date/place guns now and then but,.......I can't figure out why they put things in that don't make common sense. Like, having a fire at night in Apache country, or when someone...

*Clint Eastwood's silver snake inlaid cartridge converted 1851 in the "Man with No Name" movies. Among those three movies the 1851 was only in The Good The Bad and The Ugly. The other two movies were 5.5" .45 Colt SAAs or clones. Though not a movie, to the others mentioned I'd add Sa...

Just speaking for me obviously, but don't care for the squared off trigger guard of the Super. I'd second a regular Blackhawk or, if wanting the smoother "cowboy" look and feel...the all-steel OM Vaquero...now out of production, but you can still find some very nice examples, some still NI...

Rather than hi-jack someone else's similar (but different) 92 sight question on the board now: I've had similar questions regarding improving upon the regular (rear) sight on my early (Interarms) Rossi 92s...and would like to install semi or full buckhorns. Problem is these have non-standard/ oversi...

Rossi's gone through a couple of different eras. Before the dastardly black stain of the late 80s through 90s, the finish was actually pretty "normal" and I've had no problems with the number of early Interarms 92s I've had. Wasn't American walnut, but not bad. Some better looking wood tha...

Same here in Phoenix (Scottsdale) recently.

It does seem to matter quite a lot by locale. I'm amazed by how many respond to this sort of thing on the Pre 64 saying "in my neck of the woods $350-400..." Not in my neck of the woods, not in a long time. They've been quite high especially since the plant closing, and I'm still seeing so...

Don't cut it. I have managed to talk EMF into ordering some 16" Stainless 357's. _________________ Steve Young aka Nate Kiowa Jones Sass# 6765 Nate we're on the same page. I too encouraged Debbie/EMF to get some Trappers in .357 - I said in both blue and SS...don't know if they'll do the forme...

...Next hopefully the new .327 Federal.

I echo the comment made about Martin's cheap line... Trying to stay alive like everyone else - w****** themselves by having to appeal to the mass market I suppose, but they should be ashamed. I'll take one of the medium to better Yamahas or older Takamines (and an older Alvarez Yairi) any day over ...

Congrats on the Martin! It looks like a keeper! I've played for 40+ years, a good chunk of that with a D-28 and my current one's a sweetie. As many folks have said, nothing like a Martin. The higher end "clones" may be 'better' in some regards--perhaps more hand made/made like they used to...

Philip (Joel) Rezak is listing carbines for $379 and rifles in mid $4s or so on Gunsamerica. (search EMF 92) Can't speak specifically for stainless and/or the shorty .44s. Rezak usually deals in EMFs (but probably can get you anything), but I don't think they're providing a stainless/shorty .44. All...

What Terry Murbach said, plus Navy Arms supposedly the only company that used "real" walnut - American - on the Rossis. Don't know if this applied through all models and all years of production...but in the past several years NA touted the American walnut application for its 92s. You'll fi...

My Springer sheds like crazy, but not all Spaniels do. I love the breed and probably get an English Cocker someday. My sister's Amercian Cocker doesn't shed at all. You can hunt cockers just like springers. The spaniels are active and don't do well cooped up..... I'm a Springer man through n throug...

If looking for something new from Steve, have him rustle you up a new EMF (vs the Puma) -- better rear sight (real buckhorn type) -- unless Puma's cleaned up their act on that one. The EMF 20" carbines also come (or can be had more regularly) with the saddle ring, if you like that - which I do....

If it's got the better-metal receiver (after 10+ years of the scintered stuff) and cast lifter (after the same Post 64 era's cheap stamped ones)...that seemed to resurrect the gun in the late 70s to early 80s. it's worth a bit more in my book...I'd say $400's fine. (You can tell if it's a cast lifte...

Also speaking just about the pre AE guns, I'll second the comments about the late 70s to early 80s pre AE guns being pretty decent again after a sad 10+ years of the immediate Post 64 scintered stuff. I'm talking about the later 70s/early 80s ones with the cast lifters and (what appears to be) rever...

I too have the large loop lever but swapped it over to a regular carbine - admitting I wanted a true "Rifelman's" rifle look, and I wanted a regular trapper - so won both ways - both in .44M. But I like the trapper with the large loop too...just not as much! To each their own. I vascilated...

Yes the extra weight of the octagonal aspect on a 20" can help. Opinions on this vary widely, but I have not found "standard" 240 gr loads that objectionable in the 20" carbine even. Generally I don't shoot the 300+ stuff anyway (though the 92 action can handle it). Yes, just abo...

I have all lengths and configurations in .44...and like the 20" carbine the best for all-around handiness and usefulness. I enjoy them all immensely for each format's special traits, but comparatively I don't care for the extra weight of either octagonal barrel lengths, favoring the carry-abili...
