Appears from Pete's post that they used to make it but can't find sight of it on their site or catalogs. Might have to check the shops and shows for the 22. Not knowing how long ago the 32 H&R was heard of, if it was within 2-3 years then it could be in the pike. I heard that the Ranch Hand was ...

Its been working fine for years on Mac 10.3-10.5 with only occasional hiccups on an update-usually something I was used to doing was slightly changed. Also installed it on my XP laptop 2.5 years ago and running fine. I only update manually and it hasn't hurt me yet. If you're having problems, then I...

I'm really glad that you're liking your new rifles. Your post helps me to to be patient waiting for the one I want to show up.

Happy shooting.

stickfred

If they had it in stock, you could get it a little cheaper here:

Enjoy your trip Steve. I'll miss your posts but know you'll have lots to share when you get back.

stickfred

My condolences to you Jason. Remembering the good times that they had helps me to keep a smile in my heart when I think of my furry friends that are gone now. My best to you and yours.

I went last summer while visiting an old friend in Warrenton. Lotsa space, tables and shoppers. Have a good time if you go.

Beautiful work on your rifle. Pullin' for your complete recovery.

Just wanted to say Howdy and Welcome to the Forum massmanute. Congrats on your Rossi 357 and best of shooting on your "hunt". Lots of good info from lots of good folk here.

stickfred

Glad you got your rifle jager3. It looks beautiful, now go out and enjoy it.

By golly, you're right Perry.
Welcome to the Forum bbsoda. Hope you enjoy yourself here. That was good gettin' your dibs in there for Shrapnel's carbine

Good find Mac. Looks like you've got some karma on your side.

I called Rossi on Monday in my year long hunt for a 20" octagonal CCH in 357 and they told me that they shipped some to two wholesalers. I got their numbers and told my dealer and he's having to sign up with them both before they'll tell him if they've got any. Looks like Rossi finally got arou...

Dug up a post regarding sights on 92s.

http://www.levergunscommunity.com/viewt ... =1&t=31831

AJMD429 has pics of a variety of sights including tang that he's used. Its about halfway down the page.

stickfred

There was a post or two in the past that mentioned a tang sight from Taurus that would fit on the Rossi 92s. I'd guess that it would work on a Win without the tang safety.

Many snakes will instinctively move their tails rapidly back and forth when they feel threatened. In dried leaf cover this may also resemble a rattlesnake.

From my year ago Rossi searches here, I do remember postings that had to do with the dark colored wood. Some had taken that finish off and had good results with refinishing. Exactly what they did to remove the old finish, I can't remember. A search of the Forum and a little time and you'll probably ...

stickfred

That's a shame about your earlier Mil-Spec. They've got the 3 dot sights on them now.

Where was the Internet back then. I could have saved my toes a lot of agony...especially wearing steel toed boots(though they did come in handy from time to time).

stickfred

Congrats, shooter, on your 1911. If I decide to get a handgun, it will be a 1911. also. And it would be a Springfield. COSteve had some info about them in an earlier post and they seem like one of the best "bang for your buck" that's available.

I wish I'd had a boot that warm when I was riding a motorcycle!!

Thanks for the laugh OTH. Though I'm sorry that Amos has gone, I'm sure that the firearms within his reach are relieved. Sounds like he had a lot of enthusiasm but may have been a better plumber than gunsmith.

stickfred

Good information Joe and thanks.
When my dad came back from being stationed in Thule, Greenland he brought back a pair of oversized wool felt booty looking things that he said they wore up there. Not sure if this is kimwcook's Bunny Boots but wish I had 'em with me now.

stickfred

It sure looks good OTH. Have you been able to show it to Amos yet? Might do his heart some good.

stickfred

Nice.
One at the back door, too.

+1 for Wikipedia. It can usually give you at least basic information to start you off. Oftentimes it will have links to send you further.

IIRC, Europe also runs on about 220v as opposed to 120v. Tesla was a great one what with inventing the radio, developing his Tesla Coil, and wireless energy transmission.

Nice work on bringing that rifle back and saving it from the rust Lostowl05661. Also, big THANKS for the extra time and energy it took to share it. Seeing work like this helps provide confidence when facing a project for the first time. Looks like "wining" during the course of this didn't ...

You'd probably be safe starting with a metal polishing paste/creme like Flitz, Mother's or something similar.

Frandkozer first I would like to congratulate you on your new rifle. I'm sure tha tyou'll enjoy it and look forward to your range report in the future. Regarding your question about videos, Steve Young (aka Nate Kiowa Jones on this Forum) has a DVD that shows you how to dis- and re-assemble the R92s...

stickfred

So sorry to hear that someone has violated the sanctity of your home and compounded that by stealing your firearms. You must be furious. Here's to hoping that they are caught and that what was stolen from you will be returned. All the best to you samb.

stickfred

As to the correction of your problem, I can't help. Still waiting for Rossi to ship some rifles so that I can get the one I want. There are other posts regarding this very issue and using the Search may put you on the path. The one thing that I have learned is that Steve Young, Forum name Nate Kiowa...

Good lookin' shooter. Have fun.

stickfred

You're right about that forearm. It does look out of place. But, Hey if it feels OK then why change it. Otherwise it looks like you've got a nice rifle there. Let us know how it shoots.

stickfred

Yes indeedy, that does look sweet.

stickfred

Keep posting Joe. I'm finding many of the OT threads very interesting and/or entertaining. And, as many have said, it keeps the forum rolling along. Sorry to hear about your lack of ranges. After driving through your state, I understand why the ranges are all inside. Its so flat you never know when ...

Good going Griff. A new shooter and someone to finish your project. Maybe your friend will drive you out with the parts

Congratulations and happy shooting.

Nicely done everyone. Here is a 2000 year-old, pottery solution to the olive oil candle/lamp. It's about 3" long. Note the flat profile of the body of the lamp for the same gravity fighting issue mentioned above. Cotton wick goes inro the larger hole, small hole in the concave top for filling....

Thanks for your research and post 86er. Though I'm still waiting for a rifle, this is good information for a newb like me.
