- How to get your lever action Rossi M92 running smooth with a little polishing and a 50 cent spring. Please like if you saved the cash and tuned your own 92. Comment if you have questions or tips on a DIY metal mag follower.
My .357 / .38 special was stiff out of the box so I watched lots of youtube videos and read lots of how to guides and did a bit of experimenting and came up with the method you see here, try it out and see if it works for you. Always have your gun inspected by a qualified gunsmith before firing if you alter it in any way.

It's not what you buy, it's what you build
As a guy who's built flintlocks from scratch, I concur! 👍🏼
InstaBlaster.
I appreciate you making this Rossi 92 video. I had my new Rossi 92 apart cleaning, slicking & oiling it, but was having some trouble getting it back together. Your video showed all the tricks, so I was able to get it back together. Thank you
Love your video. R92 newbie and really struggled with getting the ejector/spring/little round doohickey back together. Your suggestion of temporarily putting the lever pin into the bolt to hold everything from springing apart saved my bacon. I spent hours before trying this and was ready to just chuck the bolt out of the window! Also felt your video was very honest with how you got through the tuff spots, and the commentary pretty much mirrored my own thoughts (minus the swearing LoL). I know it has been quite a few years since you put this video out but thank you for doing so. Hope all has been well with you in the years since
Recommend Using a SnapCap or spent round rather than live ammo to hold the ejector in place
This is definitely a must. I did mention it in the video and the description but it bears repeating. I did use a dummy round but it's one I made but pulling a bullet and dumping the powder and I should have used orange paint or something to mark it in a way that would have shown up better in the video.
Gun&ShotTV I'm sure you are well aware but to spell it out for others, if it has a live primer it can still be dangerous. (yes, even with no powder)
Hamish M. Particularly with a rifle, because if the primer goes off the bullet will lodge in the barrel which will destroy the barrel and possibly your face or hands if the gun is shot without clearing the obstruction.
Gun&ShotTV lmao it doesn't hurt the barrel to have a squib round. you just ram it out.
"if the gun is shot without clearing the obstruction."
My puma M92 is very ammo sensitive. It will feed both .38 and.357 JHP just fine but any type of soft lead point ammo won't feed hardly at all, it digs in the barrel entrance rather than going into the barrel. Not a big deal though I have ammo that works now. Just found it interesting. Great video thanks for sharing.
Look up ( polishing feed ramp on 92 Winchester) here on UA-cam. Not complicated procedure. ;-)•. Good luck!
I did it. I went to harbor freight, bought the spring set, installed it. Took me 5 hours. First gun I’ve ever disassembled and reassembled. Wow. I’ve accomplished something today. Thank you.
Do you remember what spring set it was ? Appreciate any help. Thank ya
I have a Rossi 92 .357 I bought a few years ago and mine is as smooth as a babies butt.I love mine!
I have a henry Big Boy in .45 Colt, a Winchester 94 in 30-30 and a Rossi in .357 mag. I'm also happy with the action smoothness. In fact its smoother then the Henry and just as smooth as the Winchester. The issue I have with the Rossi is occasionally the round don't feed into the chamber and jams, but its only happened a few times. I had to use my pocket knife to re align the round. Thats also happened with my Winchester. Thats an issue I need to figure out. The Rossi is much easier to clear out the jammed round. It could just need some extra lubrication at the range. I hand load and could try a slightly shorter OAL. It works best with jacketed RN or RNFP ammo. SWC are not as smooth, but they work. Also you can't hold the Rossi sideways when you cycle the action or the round may not line up with the chamber due to gravity. I've shot several hundred rounds and I would trust it any situation. The Action on the Henry vs the Rossi are much different so I don't expect them to work the same. The Henry is side ejection and you could pretty much cycle it holding the rifle upside down which you can't do with a Rossi. The video was very informative though. I'm going to break mine down and look for wear.
I've got 4 Henry mares legs (22MMAG, 44MAG, 44MAG and 357 MAG and 2 big boys 45-70 and 30/30 and just picked up a Rossi 45LC to carry instead of my S&W 460 or one of my Henery's since I recently had to buy the brass cover for my 44MAG from carrying it through the woods and spent a lot of money one that 1 little part So I have quit carrying my Henry's in the woods to be scratched up. There are 2 maybe 3 more Henry's I want the 410, the pump 22LR and maybe the .17 HMR or 308 (the Lone Ranger). But thinking I might get the Salvage .17, less cost and dead on target out of the box!!
While shooting a friend of mines Salvage A17 which he bought at Cabela's and we went straight to a location where we hunt these large rat-like varmints (marmonts I think they call them) which the eagles swoop down and grab once we shoot them. This rifle was dead on right out of the box. It got boring not missing anything you shot at LOL
I hear people saying that all the time and always still zero my rifles; since this wasn't my rifle we didn't do any zeroing. I now see what people are talking about when the say that their rifles were dead on out of the box.
I'm still breaking in that 45LC Rossi. I don't like taking the rifle apart and doing the polishing; so I am working the action every time that I can. Sitting watching TV, I'm working the action. sitting around doing nothing, I'm working the Rossi action. I would like for the Rossi action to end up being as smooth as my Henry's.
I don’t know about grease and powder fowling. It will stick to the grease. It can be lightly lubed but not greased

I was on a roll, I got everything apart, had my new spring................and couldn't install it. Even bought a smaller needle nose pliers.
NEVER USE LIVE AMMUNITION WHEN WORKING ON GUNS!!
Oh , I need to take out THAT screw... the one behind your forearm!... got it! Thanks lol (just messing, its a solid video!)
I’d just buy a Henry.
Am I the only one who found the audio level too low? Is that just my iPad?
Probably a bit my end and a bit yours. I've been boosting the hell out of my newer videos but YT won't let you adjust it on older ones.
What exactly did the spring do? Make the ejection stronger?
The replacement spring lessens the ejection force. This both makes the bolt much easier to close and drops your empty cases at your feet which saves hunting them down if you reload.
Good info, but dude, put the camera somewhere that you aren't blocking what you are doing with your hand or arm... Plenty of times I wanted to see what you were doing, and all I am looking at is the back or your hand or your forearm. lol
Did you see how often your arm covered what you were doing?
I bought one understanding I would need to refinish all the moving parts, a very easy task. No way will I spend $1400 for a Uberti, Winchester or Browning. I have owned many Amadeo Rossi firearms since the late '60's & early '70's and must say the quality was much better before Taurus became Braztech.
Would you mind explaining in what ways your newer Rossi has failed or what you have found that disappoints you?
@@nathanm7438 I hasn't failed me because before I ever fired a shot I disassembled it totally and de-burred all the parts and pieces and shortened the main spring, ejector spring and the magazine spring. I replaced the plastic follower in the magazine tube with a brass follower and did a polishing job on the trigger group that made it smooth as butter. Nothing about it is disappointing but I worked with it for about 3 hours to get it where I wanted it that should have been done at the factory but they would have added another $300 to the purchase price to make it that smooth. It's beautiful carbine with deep dark bluing and beautiful wood on the stock and forend. I knew it would be some work from watching the youtube videos but I like tinkering so I looked at it as a fun challenge. I love the thing.
@@dougpoulton5544 lol sorry about that I totally misunderstood your first comment. Ya I agree they are an amazing way to go for people who don't mind some work or just that they like to tinker and put work into their own guns either as a project, hobby, etc, And also give the gun some personality.
Doug Poulton. Is there anyway you could quantify how much you shortened the three springs?
Net Nannies...That's funny right there.
Thanks for watching

Any one out there who watchesWestworld on HBO and have any suggestions on getting a backpack mares leg holster like the bad guy Hector carries his mares leg in? If so, please share the site, Thanks in advance.
Haven't seen the show but plenty of leather places make front and back scabbards for mare's legs.
Here is one of them
aussiesaddle.com/Products/Shootist/scabbards.html
You know watching the show today, the holster looks more like a pouch more than a holster. It really doesn't look leather at all, maybe synthetic with fuzzy material on the inside.
I've found a few people who make the hip and backpack type holsters for the mares legs holsters that I really like; but, WOW are they expensive. I found a guy selling water buffalo as exotic material for your holster (he was certainly ripping people off; there's nothing exotic about water buffalo hide). he had one that I liked a lot and would be much cheaper than his other holsters; NOT! This guy is selling water buffalo at almost 2/3 over the cost of good grain leather.
I buy a lot of large knives from Nepal and other foreign places and the scabbard is almost always made of water buffalo my Kukri knives from Nepal hold up okay if you take care of them; but, shouldn't cost nowhere near what this guy was trying to sell them for; he was selling them as exotic material holsters and charging crazy prices that were much over the prices of his nicer grain or and even mid-grain leather.
I think that this guy may be under the expectation that a lot of people will see water buffalo hide as exotic and not know the quality of water buffallo. Selling the holsters as an exotic material for holsters. He even mentions this on his site a couple times; but, looking at his site it hasn't been updated in almost 10 years.
I usually buy 2 extra scabbards (or a water buffalo horn for my nicer more expensive Kukris) I buy 2 hide holsters because water buffalo hide just don't do well in the cold weather like a good thick grain hide or being wet and left in the sun too many times, along with the way I abuse them tracking through the areas in the Alaskan Mountian ranges that I like to hike to get to those secret fishing spots that aren't packed with people like it's WalMart Black Friday. So when a holster gets to where it's not safe to carry my 44MAG Henry mares leg; I've already have another one in the safe waiting instead of having to wait for a new scabbard to get to me from Nepal. I usually pay $50-$75 for the nicer and a bit more durable hostlers but sometimes the shipping can take a month plus.
Kenneth Elston I live in the Ohio River Valley region. My local shoe cobbler makes plain Jain hi quality durable black thick leather holsters for a very reasonable price. He provides police officers one for free . He also fixes horse saddles . Sells the best quality work belts I have seen . ( mine is 20 years old and shows very little wear) . You may want to find someone similar to him. Most often the best choice is under your nose and passed up while surfing the web. It’s nice to do while stuck somewhere being bored . I do it a lot. Don’t overlook the local craftsmen . They are in desperate need of business anyway.
NIce vide, but it's too dark and not detailed enough for noobs like myself and many others. Too many little parts for us that may not understand it.
+filoIII You may want to watch a few other videos and work with more gun assemblies but it really is pretty simple and you should be able to do it yourself. Even if you screw up a smith can get it back together when he inspects it before you shoot it as I recommend before shooting anything you have modified yourself.
Yeah, you gotta test it with the rounds you’re gonna be firing. AT THE RANGE!!!! Not in your house.
why didn't you use an empty shell case instead of a live round? As soon as I saw you do this unsafe act I turned off the video and assumed you are a hack.
You seem to know how to work on your gun, but your camera angles suck.. Your hands were so in the way I had to guess what you were doing half the time.
Hope you had fun working on the M92 action. My M92 action is smooth as silk and has feed all .357 magnum and 38 special factory ammo fed into it. Normal cycling of the action goes a long way in polishing adjacent metal parts in the action. This is a great handling and accurate carbine.
It actually handles better than my Winchester M94.
The quickest and easiest way to smooth up any guns action (if no longer the cheapest) is to take the damn thing out and shoot several boxes of ammo through it.
Practice makes perfect
Thank you for posting this tutorial. I just did this on a 44 mag with the 20 inch barrel. I went to the hardware store and got a $0.75 spring. Then I got out the Dremel with a buffing wheel and some polishing compound and I went to town. The flat spring for the trigger had a huge Burr on the end of it. Once I eliminated that I had a beautiful trigger , 3 lb pull ( maybe ) and zero creep. Your video was invaluable.
With most lever guns just using it will smooth it out
why by some thing you got to work on .
@@grizzallen2685 a lot of guns have tight tolerances brand new, that way you can practice and work it in at the same time.
@@grizzallen2685 I wouldn't buy a Loose, Sloppy new gun.
LOL. Crazy. I clicked on this comment and found 3 names I'm related to. Geiger, Allen and Fletcher. Anyway, yes, use does wear them out but these things come exceptionally rough to the point of barely functioning - sometimes not functioning when they get hot and dirty (especially both of those if you use black powder or substitute). Some self sufficient folks enjoy saving money and slicking them up themselves. Plus, it just makes it more yours in a sentimental and spiritual way.
Also, these Rossis are less than $700 pre lung AIDS epidemic prices - not sure about now. Winchester 1892s are well over a grand for Italian reproductions and double that for American made reproductions. I love old guns. I have several muskets I've built myself and I make my own black powder, repair my own locks in my flintlock, etc. However, I am also a modern man and I'm totally not paying the price of 2 ARs and with spare mags or an optic or a Glock for a damned 150 year old obsolete design, no matter how fun it is to play with. That's why my brother and I both chose Rossi. After some work, they freaking rock. His is a modern big game hunting stainless gun in .44 Magnum and mine is a nearly black powder only competition and frontier lawman reenacting gun in .45 Colt. Fun stuff.
I was just gonna say seems like a lot of work when you can work the lever a couple hundred times watching Yellowstone
I have three Puma Rossi levers. I took one to a gun smith for an action job. He told me to go shoot it 150 times then see if I still need it. He was right not one of them needed anything after shooting them after apx 100 rds.
I own one. After 3 boxes or so it slicked up pretty much on it's own and I didn't void my warranty.
Right. Break-in on a new lever action is a actual thing.
Try putting a large light colored towel on your bench first. You'll appreciate the advantages it offers.
To all the Rossi haters, I picked up a 16" .357 mag carbine a month ago at my local gun dealer for $560 brand new and have put about 150 rounds of .38, .38+ and .357 jhp. Minor sight adjustment (shooting a bit high at 40 yards out of the box, adjusted the buckhorn for elevation, now pretty close with various loads.) Haven't had any feed issues, and action seems great, maybe a bit tight at first, but definitely smoothing out/loosening up with use.Side load gate seemed stiff at first, but once I got the hang of loading rounds by partially inserting and pushing the prior round in with the next one, and being firm with it, it all just slides in like it should. No cut thumbs. Just practice and figure out what technique works for you, and perfect it. For what it's worth, I love the gun. Always wanted a Winchester, but for the money this little Rossi fills the bill, and I can't wait to take it shooting. My only problem has to do with finding .38 special and .357 magnum ammo... even considering getting into reloading just so I can shoot this thing a lot. If it weren't for primers being so unavailable and priced like gold. Can't blame the gun, though. I think Rossi's quality control is getting better of late, or I just got one that works. Looking forward to breaking this thing in further.
Love my 92 in .44 mag, and have for years. Its my cabin "bear gun". Quite accurate, fast and handy. To do more shooting for fun, I just ordered the same in .38/.357. Can't wait to woodswalk with it, maybe pot a squirrel with a .38. I really appreciate Rossi keeping this fine old design alive. Hope some younger shooters discover how nice they feel to carry (mine are both Trapper versions). Both will have Williams 5D peep sights, a sight like the military put on AR-15s in the Vietnam era...fast, easy, accurate, durable. John Browning designed this in a week for Winchester, and its still outstanding 100 years later.
Yes, the mechanical aspect has gotten better. Their inletting needs to go back to how it used to be.
I bought one about the same time and mine was dead on. Though, mine was slightly used (dealer bought it, had wrist surgery and couldn't keep it after). Have a BSA 2x pistol scope on it and love it as well. Harvested a doe with it last year.
Sometimes I think the “haters” are simply attention seeking and excessively picky.
Reloading the 357 & 38 series is definitely the way to go.
Superb video. You did a really good job on this, I learned a lot.
Thank you.
I have had no problems with R 92 (.357/.38).
Great content. Thank you so much for making this video. I am a member of a Cowboy Action Shooting Club. Le Visa Fork Lead Slingers in Pikeville, KY. Dirty Rotten Ray is a gun dealer that I purchased my R92 from and during my first match it locked up on me. (Broken Gun) One of the moisture control packets was damaged and contaminated my rife. Club member's DRR and EP worked on my rife and slicked it up with new springs. Blessing Turbo Kidd
Good video, I have a 92 Rossi in 44 mag, no problem s with mine, except for reloads. , with them it was my fault
With them the resizing must be the full length. And the bullet seat must be to the right length and crimpted. I did lube mine up good. It was new and it takes maybe 300 to 500 rounds. To break it in . my bro had a 357 92., I like it so o bought the 44.,
Mine will be arriving soon. Got the .44... I like to tinker, so I'll be following your vid. Thanks!
NEVER EVER use a live round.!
...to stop a nose bleed!!!!!!!
Yeah, but dead rounds start to stink pretty quickly.
Loved this video!… I did the tune-up on my new Rossi R92 & she cycles like butter now!… what a sweet little plinker and way cheaper than my Winchester 30/30 to shoot … also, with the weaker spring on the ejector, my brass isn’t flying out into oblivion anymore, now it lands around my right elbow, I should just put my spent brass ammo can right there and catch it!
Thanks again for this helpful video buddy!
Cheers Man! I'm not shootin' but I'm over 9000 drunk and wanting to slick up a Win 92 someday.
Thanks for the good information. Unfortunately the white paper background is causing your camera to darken so much the black gun parts have lost most of the detail.
Thank you so much for this video, my father recently purchased a Rossi different caliber, but same issue. I cleaned up the inside some, I thought maybe there was something wrong with a spring, but didn't know where to start to fix it. Thank you😉
I bought mine new back in 1993. First thing I did was swap out the hammer spring then stone a second angle on the sear to reduce trigger creep. I then proceeded to put about 5,000 rounds through it over the course of a year and it really slicked up very well. I even kill a deer with it. Good little rifles but they messed them up when they added that stupid looking safety on top of the bolt.
Who else here came bc of rounds jammed in my action
Lever guns are picky about ammo. Some more than others, but all are to a degree. Bullet profile, overall length and degree of crimp are some of the major considerations.
I cant believe there are 26 people out there that gave this vid a thumbs down,they must be democrats.
Haters gonna hate
well an update for you.
there are now 39 azzholes opinions that dont matter
@@omegaseamaster1550 bit theres 384 people who liked it, meaning that we outnumber them regardless what they think.
Sorry for the negative comment, but your camera angle was horrible. I have seen better videos of disassembly. But thank you for making this.
Great job.. I did the same slick job on my 357 mag and it was night and day.. Going to go shoot it now..
Yep. Hammering with a screwdriver.
He works the same way as I do.
Just think a couple more hundred, and you could have had a trouble-free firearm
Dude....I was so frustrated after I got my .45 and couldn't get it to cycle ammo without a Jam, and then I couldn't hit my target (Buckhorn user error). Thanks for these videos man. It really made a difference. I spent a while trying to get the new spring in, I ended up going in the other side but it works great. I tried a different youtube recommendation with no results. Next I think I need to reduce the door spring tension and file the edges, my thumb getting chewed up!! Keep it up.
Glad to have helped. I've got a few other 92 videos and several winchester videos on the channel that you might be interested in.
Thanks for watching
Try ( polishing action on 92 Winchester). Or. ( slicking up lever rifle action ). Get a Drimmel Tool ( or similar) a file should not be necessary as it can take away metal that can’t be replaced ( or is very difficult for sure) . It’s not complicated. And if it’s a stainless steel rifle the result of a polish can be stunning.
Seeing that much nasty grease in a firearm makes my cringe
Worth every penny. :)
Seriously folks the steps are so well documented, the result is such an awesome little carbine and the trouble of breaking down a 92 without actually doing anything making no sense?
Slick em up, don't slick em up but what's the point here?
Are those Springs Mil Spec?
Your audio is so low as it be unintelligible.
bro you need a dummy round asap. my buddy just had an accidental discharge in his house while testing an extractor last week. NEVER use live rounds for that
Was that a live round? Not good.
As a Public Service Message allow me to suggest that you do not use a LIVE ROUND as part of an assembly process.
Fun haters are lame as fuck
think you just convinced me to save the money and grab the 92 over the henry
Nice job!!! I would have a hard time figuring out how it went back together??
Just go slow and take your time, it's not super hard to disassemble compared to plenty of other guns I've worked on.
What is that tiny piece that came out with the spring at 5:18? I didnt notice it going back in.
Hello, can the automatic translator be generated also in Spanish? Kind regards, thanks.
Ah that classic gunsmith's tool .. the roll of tape!
By polishing, you're taking all the bluing off. Is this ok to do?
Hahahaha!
You had me at the grease-gun tube of grease.
Please remove your block and let the net nannies die in misery because I just noticed that you did not replace the tiny cylinder that sits at the back of the ejector spring and cannot tell if you caught that with the net nanny block in the way.
Thank you
Are you talking about the caption? you can turn that off on your end. just turn it off in the captions setting
Just for clarification, @ 4:49 - The tool he’s using is a screwdriver NOT a pin driver.
can you recommend someone that has done with with good camera angle and loud enough audio to understand?
TATV did it also
do you have issues with lockup? If i jiggle the rifle, it unlocks and the lever drops with the new spring
If your rifle was new, I hope you sent it back to Interarms.
If a Gunsmith worked on it, I hope you took it back to him to try to tighten it up. I've seen plenty of rifles at Cowboy Matches that were "slicked up" way to much.
Smoothing is Best done with a very LIGHT touch.
Awesom video Chris! It's nice to see a true craftsman at work...
You make that look so easy, but I know better sir. Thanks for the shake -down, oh, get your self some A-Zoom dummy rounds, that live cartridge makes me nervous dude ;-/
Phil Christmas I make my own dummy rounds for way cheaper than AZooms. I just need to remember to always paint the bullets.

Nice job !
Nice job Chris!
Nice! Thanks
When the camera is more than 2 ft away from the gun, you really need a spotlight to see the gun well. Black on black. You also need to be aware of the camera angle as your hands and forearm obscured the view of the assembly a lot. Informative video though. These mistakes are common among most how-to videos.
i've noticed that the pin that you drive out ( part # 49 i think) is missing on my ss r92 that I bought the other day...how big a problem do ya think that is?
The pin I drove out is the lever & breech bolt pin number 56 according to the diagram here.
www.schiessen-erzgebirge.de/Blueprints/rossi_92.gif
Without it the lever can fall off the bolt when the action opens and everything will be out of alignment which causes other wear issues. I'd call rossi immediately and order the correct pin as the gun isn't safe to fire without it. If you are unsure which pin is missing I'd take it to a gunsmith.
Gun&ShotTV
I was referencing the parts guide that is in the owners manual which I now understand to be a "generic" parts guide. Maybe I can better explain it like this...it is the pin that holds the right side cartridge guide...it is the pin that you drive out at the 4:46 mark of your video. That is the pin that is missing.
Thank you for your response.
There is only one pin accessible from the loading gate side of the receiver and it is the lever and breech bolt pin. It it's missing the lever and bolt are not truly attached. If you have an open hole that connects to the cartridge guide that is a screw according to the parts diagram I linked and on my gun. Specifically it's part 31 cartridge guide screw. Without looking I can't really tell what's missing. If you could post a video showing whats missing or start a thread at www.rossi-rifleman.com/ someone has probably had the same exact issue and can tell you the best way to fix it.
Gun&ShotTV
thanks
Just watched your video on the 50 cent spring and did it. Boy what a change. I use my 2 Rossi's for cowboy action and it's always hard when using, but with the 50 cent spring job, just using it at home, it seems easier. I'm going to a shoot next week and can't wait to try them out. Thanks
Thanks for watching glad to be of service. Mine is still working fine and it's gotten even slicker from use.
Man you need to setup your camera where your red box is. Your arms are constantly in the way and we are unable to see what you are doing. With a gun of this type it would be great to be able to see what you are doing. Since we can’t I need to go watch someone else’s video. Maybe thats why people gave you a thumbs down?
Nice pic of your right arm!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
live round eh???wow
Consumer: "Rossi, you've manufactured a firearm. You machined and assembled a group of components but they perform in an unsatisfying manner. Any chance you could add the fifty cent Harbor Freight spring while the rifle is being made?"
Rossi: "Nope *you* need to do it. And if you don't want to go the Harbor Freight spring route, you could always buy one of the kits and/or DVDs, or....send the rifle to a specialist and have them do it. It's important to remember that getting our product to function properly is your responsibility. Thank you for falling for it. As all of the helpful videos demonstrate, it isn't rocket science. We could do it....we've made the conscious decision to opt out."
In there defense, compare the prices of Rossi and Winchester. I don’t mind slicking up my own rifles. I have had some carbines that others couldn’t live without once they worked the action. They will pay more than the price of a new one . ( They think I got it that way and it’s a special piece that wasn’t intended for the market/ or whatever?) I don’t say more than necessary when someone is falling in love ;-). Emotional impulse buying can be your friend at times. Don’t lie! Just be indifferent and don’t elaborate . ( act clueless) . Act like you don’t want to part with it. Let them make a offer. Mention western movies without including the name . And my favorite ole time actor was James or Jimmy Stewards? Or Stewoords ? Something like that . I haven’t watched those old movies in decades. . ;-)
Good gosh man. I'm glad you got your gun working and I appreciate you making this well documented thorough video. But why would someone buy a gun they had to completely dismantle, buy substitute parts for and then fix to make it usable? Taurus screwed the pooch on the 92. UA-cam is littered with Rossi 92 failures and work-arounds. Get a made in America Henry. Buy once, cry once. The cheapest isn't necessarily the most economical.
Henry makes nice guns, but their big boy line looks a bit wonky to me. I wanted a Winchester 1892 and couldn't justify the price a vintage one would bring. Winchester's are very sturdy guns but generally are a bit rough when new no matter who makes them. Over time they break in but I wanted to speed up the process. I'm sure 1892 in .25-20 that has been handed down my wife's family was a bit tight when it was made in 1895 but in 120 years of use it has broken in to be butter smooth. It worked fine out of the box, the spring change just allowed for a lighter lever and the ability to feed more profiles of .357
Taurus made a really inexpensive copy of a really good gun. I expect all clones to be this rough and unfinished and i thank god that someone is still making something like this for people who could not afford to buy a winchester let alone be able to modify it after spending that much money. If you expect something to work flawlessly without any breakin or action work, buy a modern firearm design.
MasterToan The gun works. I have 5 Rossi 92s and all worked right out of the box. I slicked up some and some I never have. All factory guns can be enhanced a little some way or another.
very true, the long tube of gayness is what turned me away from henrys.
Because not every Rossi needs this attention. If one would just sit down with one and work the action repeatedly for a while. Most guns benefit from some tweaking.
my Rossi M92 shoots about 8 inches high and 5 inches left at 25 yards. The iron buckhorn sights are adjusted all of the way down. It still shoots high left. Several experienced shooters tried to adjust it and they think it is a manufacturer's defect. It has the octagon barrel. I love to shoot it but it sucks having to aim down and right to hit the target. Do you have any suggestions?
I personally had point of aim issues until I realized you have to hold the front bead in the middle of the buckhorns and pretend they are a ghost ring with the top cut off. That may be your elevation issue, for the shooting left issue you may be able to adjust by drifting the rear sight in the dovetail. If that won't get you close inspect the gun for defects, is the crown damaged, is the barrel visibly bent, is the sight dovetail cut at an angle?
Gun&ShotTV the windage issue is not a problem. It can be adjusted. The elevation is the problem. I have only had it out 3 times it is almost new. There is no damage. I let a couple friends (very experienced guys who are long time hunters) have at it and both told me the problem is that the sights cannot be adjusted to shoot any lower. I have tried putting the bead in the middle of the buckhorn sight and that makes it shoot even higher. I would hate to do it but I might need to put on some optics. The whole point was I wanted to use the iron sights.
Randy Crockett I'm not sure what the issue could be as once I did a bit of research and found out how the sight picture on buckhorns works I've been very happy with my R92.
I'd call rossi if you're still having issues they may have different sights available.
For anyone who isn't sure exactly what alignment I'm referring to please look at position A. in this picture. imgur.com/L0AmbP2 Remember that buckhorns are not a scope and were meant for quick rough target acquisition. If you need tiny groups look into an aftermarket peep sight.
Stevesgunz sells different sights for the 92 to correct this problem. He says it's common.
Gun&ShotTV I took it back to the gun shop where I bought it. They sent it to Rossi and Rossi replaced the sight. It was the wrong sight. I haven't had it back out yet.
i hope you get back to us on whether the lever spring was strong enough after repeated useage
No issues thus far. If needed you could always install a replacement 50 cent spring from the box
Short reloads don't cycle well anyway. Use factory ammo ! Works well 😁 I cut some loading spring off and much better reloading .
Good choice on the whiskey. Nice vid too.
Tullamore Dew. Originally made in Tullamore by one Daniel Elston Williams. So now you know where the Dew comes from. Lots of puns involved in Irish Whiskey.
With a live round dude? Seriously? Come on man!
There is a safety on the FP, not that you could hit it without a hammer in the gun. You realize that in guns like the AR and AK the floating firing pin slams into the primer everytime a round is chambered?
Leftist
look both ways before crossing the street, have ALL ammo removed from gunsmithing area..
just solid safety practice ,.. nice video tnx 👍
Great video! I used a 7/32 x 1 5/8 spring from Lowes, like $2 for 3 or 4. Also I was able to complete this with an empty shell and didn't have to drive the pin, remove and re drive the pin. So, it is possible, but a bit of a pain in the ass. Action is completely over hauled, and the shells seem to fall out as opposed to flipping over my head and behind me about 5-6 feet.
D-LASH thats what he was going for
After you installed the new spring, would your lever sag slightly more in the normal position?
I gave up watching about half way through. Could not see much with your arm in the way.
Good info on a great rifle. Mine's in .45 Colt. I called Rossi today and they said it was made before 1980, which was a surprise! I think it's been slicked up some, smooth! By the way, live ammo is not fragile like a egg, so chill out.
Could you use an empty round instead of a live round. Is this the same procedure for a winchester model 92??
Maybe use an empty case and not a live round ...
Thank you for placing the comment box over the video to protect me. Those net nannies were right, now I'm safe.
I feel better already
I use a empty round and it works just fine because it is lighter then even a dummy round
I use high temp bearing grease on my AK-47 I just picked up my first lever action can I use the high temp bearing grease or do I need to go get the one you use and what is the name of the one you used
You can probably use just about any grease you want in a lever action as it just needs to lubricate. I have had great luck with Moly-Lithium but have also used bearing grease. The one I use is Super Tech Moly Grease, 14 oz for $3 at walmart. I found it does seem to smooth out lever actions more than the red high temp in my guns but if i had to guess it's because the Hi-temp is thicker than the moly until it gets hot and thins out which doesn't really happen in a lever gun.
k ty ill just grab a tube
You may want to research polishing compounds and invest in a drumming tool ( or similar) as well. Also watch a video about ( seating valves in automobile head of engine) . If you have any Stainless firearms like revolvers , polishing them can ( in some cases) make them more desirable! A polishing job can most times cause your Revolver to command a premium! Especially when someone sees their reflection in one . It’s a art all of its own . CARFUL!!! As some older guns should not be polished, especially collectors pieces! The ( patina) from age and use should be preserved. Polishing a antique can take away from the value. Good luck ! Slick that sucker up ! It’s almost as fast as a simi auto. ( maybe faster) .
White lithium grease like lubriplate (found in auto parts stores) is a nice alternative to black moly grease. either will collect and hold dirt. My choice is Hornady one shot. These video's should make people aware of what's possible when buying used firearms... and why I only buy new ones.
