The one pictured above is in 40 S&W. The 40 S&W is about the equivalent to the old 38-40. Out of the rifles it is plenty energy at 100.

Doc,
You just gotta find the right bag

I have a Marlin 1894 44-40 old model 399xxx. I had a shell separation yesterday. the rim came completely off & the rest of the shell is still in the chamber. I have had this in the past & used a shot gun bore brush with stiff bristles going into the chamber & removing the brass. This di...

I love my little Ruger .22-45 Lite. It’s very light and quite accurate. But it isn’t what I would call reliable. I’m going to post some photos from this afternoon and ask you what you think. (It does this with all kinds of ammo)

Does it do it every time. If not how often.

Nate Kiowa Jones

On the serious side. I have used a small 110v aquarium air pump attached to hopper for both unique and black powder. It does make a more consitant throw.

Nate Kiowa Jones

This works too.

Nate Kiowa Jones

I've had an Uberti, Pedersoli and Browning '86, and all three shot and functioned quite well. The most recent one was the Pedersoli that was in a "Lightweight" style that I traded on an Uberti sharps because I wanted to do some long range shooting. I sold off the other two to buy an origi...

The problem is none of the distributors have them. What's on theLGS shelfs is the tail end of the last batch.

Nate Kiowa Jones

Why all of a sudden are people asking fir a levergun in 44 Magnum? Did a Internet forumn have a big deal on them ir something.... BTW prices for them and 357's are nuts! Todd/3leg At this time, we are experiencing a sellers’ market for all guns. It has happened before, usually politically driven. B...

Thanks guys. Looks like IT fixed it.

I've been putting the project off for some time. Back in the early 2000's Rossi offered a scout scope rail and a scope scope gun. https://i.ibb.co/WxvB08w/R92-55002-1.jpg But it wasn't that popular. Probably because of the ugly rubber add-on cheek piece. :( After they dropped the gun they did offer ...

Nate Kiowa Jones

Again, thanks for all the wisdom. I don't like cleaning from the muzzle and don't recall ever doing that in this case. Of course, I can't remember where I put my glasses half the time so maybe I just forgot about running a rod down the barrel. I'll grab a cleaning rod and a jag or two and see what ...

Nate Kiowa Jones

First, not all parts are hardened to the same level. Heat treat is done at different hardness depending on the application of the part. Parts that are too hard will shatter. As for the breech bolt here, most likely the lever to breech bolt plug screw was too long and was binding on the bolt when it ...

Nate Kiowa Jones

My favorite Rossi is a .357 with the 24" octagonal barrel; it sure holds nice for off-hand shooting. I hadn't realized it was "railroad heavy" though. Being a young fellow yet I thought the octagon barrel was just about perfect, but maybe when I get to be an old guy I'll come appreci...

Nate Kiowa Jones

Are all the Rossi 357’s slow-twist...??? Yes, 1 in 30" is all I've ever seen. Amazingly it has worked out well if you stick to common bullet weights for the cal. partly because the added velocity from the rifle length barels makes up for the slow twist in RPM's. For 357m if you stay with the 1...

Nate Kiowa Jones

Thanks for the replies! Been shooting 185's out of my Para, 6" barrel ( no suppressor) and love'm. 10" plate at 100 yards hit more often than miss. Going heavier in the SBR to more or less guarantee no sonic crack ! SBR has a 8" barrel! My place borders cattle grounds on north and we...

Think about this next time you poke fun at a prepper! I guess I'm a prepper. But, if you grew up on the gulf coast or there about you were a fool if you wasn't. Hurricanes. Once you learn how to survive them it sticks with you. We are now in the Texas Hill Country. A little north of Jim. We left 14...

Nate Kiowa Jones

Rossi has been D&T-ing the guns for several years now. But, they never had the rails. So, I gave up on them and had these made.

Nate Kiowa Jones

My .357 flattop has no real forcing cone. But it must be lined up right because it really shoots. Not all revolvers are set up this way. Not a bad thing if everything lines up well. Good timing and lockup, Cylinder throats not smaller but no larger than about .001-.002" than bore size, a minim...

Nate Kiowa Jones

I finally have these Scout scope rails for the late model Rossi 92's that are D&T-ed under the rear sight.

Nate Kiowa Jones

Unless you shoot it loose like some of the old original you won't have anything to worry about. The BC of 45lc mmo will limit the accuracy more than a loose TD 92. The other thing to consider too, is both sights are on the barrel. If you go with more precision sights, like a tang mounted peep, a loo...

Nate Kiowa Jones

For the Rossi 92 you should have a spare firing pin. The tips will break off and there's thin section in the middle where the lever straddles it that will sometimes break. Rossi tends to over harden/ under draw back their parts so they are sometimes brittle. The ones I sell aren't made by Rossi. I h...

Nate Kiowa Jones

It could possibly be stripped. Rossi uses a really fine metric thread. If it won't tighten let me know. I have on occasion had to tap the guide to a win screw. A 6-48. It's more coarse so there is enough metal left for it.

Nate Kiowa Jones

Missouri cast bullets has a sample pac you can put together, that way you can try a few different bullets with out buying 500 Brad Scott, there's your best advice. That will give you samples to make dummy rounds so you can try them through the action. Always keep in mind these modern straight wall ...

Nate Kiowa Jones

Over the years I've done a few and all got action work too.

Nate Kiowa Jones

sent you a pm

Nate Kiowa Jones

Last one I had was a paint gelding. Tried hunting from him. Sometimes a 12ga wouldn't phase him. Next time a 22 would launch him like a rocket!!!!!
Ever since I've been convinced, paints are pretty much crazy.

Nate Kiowa Jones

I'm not a fan of mounting to the mag tubes if it's a Rossi 92. The only thing that holds the tube on the carbines is the notches for the barrel band screws and the screw through the mag plug. This one require inletting the forewood, epoxy and screws. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/UWi_5sg01o0I5mZ...

Nate Kiowa Jones

Nate, I agree with all your statements about the Pietta's. Cimarron also offers a Pietta called the Frontier. It is just the standard SAA model. They do not offer all the different models that EMF does. The only reason that I did not choice a Pietta back then was -- Pietta did not offer a 38/40 cal...

Nate Kiowa Jones

The only credible complaint I've heard on the older Ubertis is that their lack of a hardened firing pin bushing can result in peening of the firing pin hole. I would expect Uberti has corrected that in the past 45 years. Sarge, My last Uberti SAA's where bought in 2015 and 2018. One was a Cimarron ...

Nate Kiowa Jones

I have read where some of the sorting center smell like garbage dumps. Dead chickens and rotting meat and produce

Nate Kiowa Jones

Rossi has never done production runs that I know of. Back in the early 2000's when I was a warranty station for EMF we inquired about having some made. but, the minimum batch was 500 units. That said it is possible they did do a few. the reason I say that is because I worked one in 41mag. that belon...

Nate Kiowa Jones

No problem
It's the least I can do for the support you guys have shown me.

BTW,
I know this is politics. But if any of you can find away to send some support to the Georgia Senate GOP candidates please do it.
If we lose the senate things are going to get bad for gun rights.

Nate Kiowa Jones

Paul,
Got a check for $250 in the mail tomorrow.

I took out the Henry this weekend and shot 32 H&R handloads. 100 grain Rainier plated bullets and 5.0 grains of AA5. Mine has the 16 inch barrel and I shot 8 shots and I got a 1 inch group at 50 yards. Seven of them were in 3/4 inch. I then shot all 4 handguns at 25 yards and they averaged abou...

I looked on Rossi Rifleman's website and they have a poll of member's R92 levergun's calibers. Their numbers may be representative of the general population as far as the pistol calibers go. They show that the .357 Mag is far and away the most popular with close to ½ the total votes. Next, the .45 ...

Nate Kiowa Jones

That is true of the original calibers. But, you won't see Marlins in 454 Casull. Amen Steve! Steve by the way is the only gunsmith other than McPherson who could make a Rossi Puma in 454 not want to split the wood and make it run slick as glass. There might have been some others but I never heard o...

Nate Kiowa Jones

A lot of Marlins in the same calibers as Winchesters, and the same age too. And still in great shooting condition after over 100 years, and more! Just proves that both guns are strong enough for the calibers they've been chambered in . That is true of the original calibers. But, you won't see Marli...

Nate Kiowa Jones

The 92 and big bro, the 86 can be difficult. The solid one piece receiver, no side plates or trigger plate does make it much like working on a ship in a bottle.

But, it is also, one of the reasons these two Wins are stronger actions than the Marlins.

Nate Kiowa Jones

Years ago I worked a Rossi 92 for Jeff and he did a nice article about it. I think I'll contact Tyler and see if it will become available.

Nate Kiowa Jones

Steve, Here that info from the article by Col. Col. Townsend Whelen. Notice the aperture rear/aperture front groups. Why choose a peep sight for Rifles? Col.Townsend Whelen All military battle rifles and many "Dangerous Game Guns" have been fitted with peep sights for at least the last 70 ...

Nate Kiowa Jones

Yes but it won't go the other way.... Stuck. I'll hopefully take a look at it this weekend, something is jammed somewhere. I understand black powder is rough inside but letting it sit for 2 days then failing wouldn't make it suitable for the west ;) Ok, so you shot it with black powder 45lc. The 45...

Nate Kiowa Jones

Is that the sear? Yeah .... :o If you are referring to the piece there behind the trigger, it is not the sear. That is the trigger block/safety bar. It prevents the trigger from being pulled until the lever is fully up. Notice the piece protruding from the reciever just behind it. The lever contact...

oops went full auto on me

Nate Kiowa Jones

I wish I had saved the source, but I remember reading about the development of the 38 WCF in the Win 73's. The author claimed it was brought out because some law enforcement types wanted a man-stopper but something that shot a bit flatter than the 44 WCF. and less recoil in the revolvers I.E. the 18...

Nate Kiowa Jones

For what it is worth, both exteriors are well fit and finished. But the HRA Henry is just as nice on the inside as it is on the outside. I've been in both and the Uberti is not. Function to me is most important. That said, fine fit and finish doesn't always equate to function. Fine fit and finish on...

Nate Kiowa Jones

First thing to consider, most dial calipers aren’t accurate enough. At best they will vary .001 to .002" + or - off. To measure I like to use a zero-ed Starret micrometer. Here's how I like to slug a bore. I like to use a slug of soft lead that is at least 1 1/2 times long than the bore dia tha...

Nate Kiowa Jones

On closing the action, the last inch of lever movement is firm. The collar at the end of the spring on the ejector keeps slipping off the shoulder. Would the collar slipping off cause difficult closing?? Does anyone have the inside and outside diameter of the collar?? What shoulder are you referrin...
