Rossi Model 62 SA Octagon Barrel
OK, so I now own this 23" octagon Model 62 SA.
Didn't realize it was the .22LR only version. Slight bummer there since it won't feed the .22 Super Colibri's I wanted to feed it... and it can't be single-fed. Tube only.
Numrich used to have the S/L/LR carrier, but they are out.
But other than that, it looks like I got a fair deal.

Re: Opinions - Rossi Mdl62 TD .22
I have one, like it very much. Fit and finish are better than I expected they would be, and so far at least it functions flawlessly. Really fun to shoot, if you get it lay in a lot of .22 ammo as you will be going through it.

Re: Rossi Model 62 SA Octagon Barrel
Maybe, just maybe, a Winchester 62 or even a Winchester mod. 1906 carrier might work. They are all pretty much the same action. I have an 1890 and these guns are caliber specific but before I was born, someone (I surmise) fitted a 1906 carrier and it feeds and shoots shorts, longs, and LR. Might be worth looking into and dang, I had the entire guts to a 1906 but sold them to HCable a couple of years ago.----6
Re: Rossi Model 62 SA Octagon Barrel
My guess is that the internals are the same as Nancy's 62LAR. It has a captured-round type carrier using the nose of the round sitting in the carrier to prevent the next round from leaving the mag. A small piece of pencil eraser will stay in the back of the carrier to make those shorts run flawlessly. We've run many bricks through Nancy's.
Kind regards,
Tycer

Re: Rossi Model 62 SA Octagon Barrel
OK. Got that sorted. Have to open the bolt slowly/just right to keep the carrier from locking in the Up position. don't know yet how that will work for ejection, but we'll see.Ray wrote:Old Ironsights wrote:OK, so I now own this 23" octagon Model 62 SA.

i have a .22 mag. version and i single feed shorts, longs, long rifle, w.r.f. , and magnums.....i know you're not supposed to but i do anyway......orient the top of the carrier even with the chamber and drop them right in......
There is a mod to turn the LR only into a S/L/LR, but it requires a mill and 2 small parts.
Apparently not too hard if you own/know a Mill, but there we are. (Complete 1909 Win carriers are about $125 and Cthulhu knows how much fitting it would take to work...)

Re: Rossi Model 62 SA Octagon Barrel
The only problem I have in mine is that it won t eject winchester ammo as the rim seems to be not large enough for the extractor.It works great with federal and other ammo but not winchester.

Re: Rossi Model 62 SA Octagon Barrel
Yes, I have them somewhere; used the buttstock but no telling where those parts are....I will look around though.Sixgun wrote:Maybe, just maybe, a Winchester 62 or even a Winchester mod. 1906 carrier might work.

Re: Rossi Model 62 SA Octagon Barrel
Well, if you do, and can spare them, I'd be much obliged.
Not in a huge hurry, but making this old girl take all sizes would be handy...

Re: Rossi Model 62 SA Octagon Barrel
OMG. it looks like, for the first time, I've actually come out ahead on a gun buy.
I guess these Octagon barrel Rossi 62SA's are sort of scarce, and that I may have made nearly $200 in (un)appreciated value over what the pawn shop sold it to me for.
Nice to see a $300 gun turn into a $500 gun just by Googling it.

Re: Rossi Model 62 SA Octagon Barrel
WOO HOO!
Found a Rossi S/L/LR carrier (no stop) and a 1906 OEM Winchester 62 cartridge stop & pin.
Swapped the parts around and it tube feeds Super Colibri's now...
I should probably take it back apart and polish everything... but it all works as is, so that's just going to be for fun and not function.
