Rossi 92 LOADING FEEDING FIX Two-Tone Tac MOD 357 R92 Lever-Action 1892 Rifle

How do you remove the loading gate without taking the rifle apart ?

Doing this in my head, you maybe be able to open the bolt all the way. Then unscrew the loading gate, let it drop down and slide it out. When you reinstall it, you need to carefully place it back and prop it up with your finger and screw it back in. It is way easier if you can remove the bolt, but with some finagling I think it is possible

After hearing from the members here, I am going to turn away from the temptation to buy a Rossi. Seems they are about as reliable as a French Chauchat MG.

I'll stay with my Winchesters and Henrys.

Its not only Rossi's
I have a Browning 71 that someone skipped a step in the machining of the bolt
Have a Chiappa 86 would not feed from the magazine until I fixed it
Uberti 76 came with atrocious trigger pull .

plenty of "kit guns" out there

Anyone have any experience with Rossi R92 in .357 magnum?

I know they have a 1 in 30" twist, but how are the chambers and the groove diameters of these barrels?

The .44 mags seem to have a reputation for large groove diameters,....are the .357 barrels also this way?

had a very early one - it shot well with the LEE 158 boolit
chamber was crap - rough machining, had a gouge mark/ring around it about halfway - had a couple of instances where old 38spl cases expanded into the groove and were difficult to extract - tossed them and used nickle 357 cases for smokeless = all good

I have 4 Rossi Lever guns. 3 92;s and one 1895 action.
I have them in 45/70 Rio Grande, 454 Casull, 357/38 16" barrel with big loop and a 357/38 24" Hexagon barrel in SS. The only problem that I have on any of them is the 24" chamber is not as smooth, when I fire the spent casing come out with the lines in the brass. They reload fine so I am not worried about that. The rifle shoots like a laser. Very accurate. But that same rifle sometimes the rounds get hung up a little on loading the magazine tube. So I do need to go in and smooth that out a little. I Love all my Rossi's, they are not as nice as my Two Winchester 92's though. I like my 1873 in 45 Colt but it is not nearly as strong action as the 92's.

How much are you guys removing from the loading gate spring?

If you like to tinker or are handy the Rossi is a fun project. Good value but def needs some work out of the box

The latest Aussie gunrag has a Rossi "cowboy" = actual wood + 24" octagonal barrel for AU$999
same rag --marlin 1894 "Dark" = tacticrap lookin 16" for AU$2534
I bet a Uberti or Japchester would be pushing $3k or over it

2 Rossi's and enough for the slickup parts ----a no brainer where I sit.....
