Regardless of whom, if any factory lets junk get into a customers hands, it ain't gonna last long. It's either total stupidity and blatant neglect on the CEO's part, or a plan to ROMNNEY it. :evil: Big Green is sinking fast.

Even if no one rechecks the CNC programming :roll: , Quality control should never let a gun leave the factory with such a blantant mistake. Could it rarely happen, i guess, but at the rate that screwed up MARLINS are leaving the factory :shock: , somethings up. Perhaps the policy today is to let th...

I bought the "Lee" spring kit for the 1892 Rossi Winchester Clone. This rifle has the brass frame and a SS octagon barrel. First thing I did was measure the effort it took to open the action and the trigger pull. Using a Lyman digital trigger pull gauge, I attempted to measure the force r...

I don't have the money for fancy grinders & computer assisted lathes. If you're one of us "financially embarrassed" galluts you gotta use what you got. I worked over the rough spots & sharp edges on mine with a small 3 sided file, a electric drill mounted grinding stone & emery...

I just bought my third Rossi a few minutes ago........ 1892, Brass receiver, stainless octagon barrel, 24", 45LC.............Have never seen one of these. The shop I bought it from had 7 in stock and all sold within a short time. $519 shipped to my FFL. http://images16.fotki.com/v258/photos/2/...

thanks for all the replies and great pics. You guys are the best. The 16 1/2" barrel is pretty nifty and that should be plenty of length for a 357 but i'll probly go with the 20" barrel to get a little more sight radius cuz i'mm gonna shoot it with a peep, thinking of going with the low-p...

I've got a couple. My favorite is a trapper in 357. The other is an octagon rifle in 44 mag. I'm glad I've got them both. Another poster mentioned Nate Kiowa Jones.

A 1-1/2# trigger pull is a bit on the dangerous side isn't it? Stan in SC With all due respect ........I'll be the judge of that. All depends on what you're used to & what you can safely handle. I like light triggers & shoot better & tighter with rifles that have trigger pulls set from ...

Closing side-note: I see Mosins with the factory fence post triggers shooting some pretty tight groups.

Sullivan has a terrible reputation among those who hunt large dangerous game in Africa. He is well known to set up these charge scenes for the camera. It's real, not fake, scripted, or photo-shopped.
