I recently bought a "Mexican Loop" holster made by Dan Brooks. It has only the identification shown in photographs. It appears to be correctly made of good quality leather. Loops are low allowing cartridge belts as wide as those worn by 19th century buffalo hunters. Has anyone information ...

How are Colt SAA general configuration Army pattern revolvers worn comfortably by hip holsters as strong side and cross draw? Standing or in a saddle any holster design can be adequate. Sitting in a chair, automobile, truck, etc. is a different bag of cats. I own no "Mexican Loop" holsters...

I seek CONTACT of the gunsmith (or dedicated hobbyist). This man might be available to complete several gunsmithing jobs. While he may not be an FFL holder, he'll have access to one. And the jobs can be shipped. Crane is on the extreme central east edge of Montana so I'm thinking that a "road t...

I have two Rossi 92s on each I need receiver micrometer sights installed. I have the sights in hand. I also have a barreled receiver (complete action should not be needed) on which I want front sight installed. I do not have the sight assembly in hand. If the gunsmith can drill+tap with Rossi 92s' r...

Was Redfield Model 80 made for Winchester 1892 (and Rossi 92) lever action rifle?

Naphtali

The original steel Lyman 66LA is for the Marlin lever guns, 336, 1894, and 1895 models. The Winchester lever models use the 66A. There is a difference in the fit of the base to the receiver, and the 66LA will fit the Winchesters, but it does not sit flush against the upper curve of the receiver. It...

EBay has a Lyman 66LA at auction. An older chart, Lyman's "original" version, identifies this as for Marlin 336 receiver. Current 66 sight is listed for Marlin 336 series AND Winchester traditional lever actions. What changes occurred in 66 sight and/or the two lever action receivers? I do...

I found what is needed to buy a Lyman receiver micrometer sight.

Naphtali

Lyman 66RU sight is intended for Ruger 44 semiautomatic rifles and not for flat-sided Winchesters and Marlins.

Naphtali

Lyman 66Rxx micrometer sight fits some Winchester lever actions, but apparently not all of them. I'm not describing what I think is accurate. There are 66R variations. R12 I think fits 92s. What about RU variation? Here is the only information I have for 66s. I found several 66RU sights, but will th...

On my Mauser 98s, Redfield 70 and Lyman 48 are both marked with letter M. This is specified because FN Mauser (I didn't know there was any receiver bridge difference between the two) is marked with letter F on Lyman 48 sight. While to me, a flat receiver is a flat receiver, I am concerned that tradi...

Regarding Redfield 70 and Lyman 48 receiver sights, what are each sight's specific model designation letter for Rossi 92?

Several years ago the wizard of quick draw single action Bob Munden, died. I believe in addition to magic with his single actions he was able to reload after firing a cylinder of 45 Colt ammunition in an equally remarkable speed. Is there any analysis or video how he achieved his reloading expertise?

Not to take away from the Prvi 44 Magnum ammo, but something I encountered with Prvi 45-70 is that the recoil pushed the bullet deeper into a few cartridges. Fortunately, I only bought one box so my 1886 Browning turned into a single shot for the remainder of the the 20 rounds. Anyone else experien...

I picked up a couple of boxes of Privi (PPU) 300-grain JSP 44 Magnum. For factory ammunition, it appears to be among the highest performing factory stuff - on paper. Is its advertised velocity accurate fired in 20-inch barrels? Is its jacketed soft point bullet slow expanding enough for reliable pen...

I am in Seeley Lake, Montana. I need for a few seconds a 308 Winchester or 7.62x51 mm case or cartridge to verify chamber on a rifle I have been given. The No.4 Mk.1 SMLE I have been given has an unknown chamber. My nephew was given the rifle, the previous owner saying it may have been rechambered t...

I can identify two distinct 2.25-inch leather gun belts - the "River" or border patrol with its separately affixed smaller sub-belt fastener; and a standard police belt. Because the river belt is assembled and standard police belt is one piece, I want to believe one class is superior (howe...

I intended to buy a bolt peep a few minutes ago - a stainless steel version. I did not find this version available. Yet I remember, I think??, that they were available. Since corresponding with Steve is challenging, I hope that I can find answers here. - Are stainless steel bolt peeps available from...

Naphtali

While Rossi 92 and 1886 lock work function identically, I anticipate 92's locking lugs' lengths are shorter because their cartridge lengths differ shorter. But what about thickness and width surfaces? Are 1886's lugs wider and thicker to accommodate their more powerful cartridges, or are 92's lugs i...

Naphtali

Okay. You neither own one nor have handled one.

Naphtali

COSteve: I'm confused. While I recognize that most other peep sights have threaded apertures, photographs on his web page for peep sight shows, apparently, a base with vertical female threads and apertures without the usual aperture ring insert threads. This aperture is integral with vertical stem w...

Finally moved on from sight dithering. I was prepared to order Steve's bolt peep with largest aperture. I've run into a clarity problem. I am unable to verify that I can order with the X-Large (.155-inch) aperture rather than defaulting to smaller "standard" aperture, requiring me to buy X...

Many thanks, guys. I found that several entities online sell a braided cord, color coded for bore size that might be satisfactory, with emphasis on having a rod with muzzle protecting slide for lead build-up. I'm thinking that British infantry in the S.M.L.E. era used these bore cleaning devices bec...

I recently bought for Laurie . . . me, too, a Crossman 392 pump air rifle. Pyramid air recommended a pull-through barrel cleaning tool. I bought one.

From me also. Andy, a BIG thank you.

Thanks, guys.
And thank you, Pat C.

Naphtali

So Pat C, drive the sights OUT from left to right (always viewing from barrel breech toward muzzle). Insert sight base into slot by driving IN from right to left? I checked rifle. Braztech is its importer. If no one can identify correct rear and front sights' slot sizes, how can I do this? About the...

Oops, I just realized all sight bases I've installed previously are screw-on. Do I drive Rossi OEM front and rear sights out from right-to-left?

Rossi 1892 OEM front and rear (mid-barrel) front sights are dovetailed onto barrel. I want to replace both. What are dimensions required for replacements? Are there replacement of either type of sight that users have found particularly useful? If any has used a "wide English V" sight, pref...

You are correct about my multiple typographical error. I corrected Rossi Model 97 to Rossi Model 92 twice.

I want to install a steel wing-protected aperture sight on my Rossi Model 92 and mount the sight on the extreme rear of the bolt where a Steve's Gunz plug replacement for the safety is placed. There is not much "free bolt space" at this spot on which to drill and tap at safety plug for a s...

Thanks Scott. With the coming of outdoor weather, it will soon be time to open the box on my new Lyman #452651 325-grain SWK-GC and find out whether I can seat it at its crimp groove in my Rossi Model 92 454 Casull rechambered to 45 Colt. Yes, there's more to the story, but I refrain from chitchatt...

Many thanks for these cogent replies.

Yup! I asked the wrong question. I should have asked whether an overall length of 1.680 inches will function correctly.

Naphtali

Thank goodness to answer my question needs but a truthful a simple "Yes/No".

Does Rossi's Model 92 in 45 Colt function correctly when using longer factory ammunition intended for old model Ruger Blackhawk revolvers?

I just picked up another stainless steel Rossi 92 in 45 Colt. I will be buying Steve's 92 kit for it. I am undecided whether to buy his safety plug for the 92 with its integral receiver sight or having the 92 drilled & tapped for a Marble's W&E tang sight. I will be needing adjustability for...

On my Marlin 39A, I have Lyman's 56 sight. Is this sight designed and intended to remove/replace its horizontal bar?

Just curious. I've done business with several individuals on Armslist clever enough to embed their phone # in the listing. Or is there some other clue that would enable you to bypass Armslist? Individual or store? I wish he had done so. That would have made my request for a helping hand uneeded. Th...

If you are the actual purchaser I don't see why someone anywhere couldn't make contact for you and provide your information to the seller. Of course now that Armslist requires a premium membership to make contact we would also need to have that. I, unfortunately don't. Right on the money. A double ...
