I have the Eyepal and it worked well enough except that it was not reliable in sticking to my glasses when I shot outdoors in the winter.
I've since had cataract surgery and no longer use the Eyepal.

Oh My!

I got it to the range and it no longer puts a dent in the primer....

Looks like maybe a broken firing pin. I have to find the take down instructions and most likely, a source for a new firing pin.

Anybody know who carries parts for the Rossi 1892?

....., but IME the bolt will sometimes stop in mid-cycle because the lever link pin through the bolt is either loose or not fully seated toward the right, and so will hang up on internal receiver nooks, stopping the bolt in it's tracks (BT, DT).....

I bought an older ( pre bolt safety Rossi 357/38spl model 1892 carbine a few weeks ago. It had fired about 50 rounds with no problems. The load was a 140 gr TC cast bullet that I have used without problems in a bunch of other guns. My only complaint with the gun is that it launches the empties way t...

Thanks Pitchy, for bringing back memories of simpler times. I recall making a crystal radio from a kit, more than 60 years ago. Mine used a piece of Galena crystal for the detector. I remember that it was real touchy to find the "sweet spot" on the crystal, and what a thrill it was to hear...

Today I went to a small gunshow a half hour from home and stumbled over a older, but perfect condition Rossi Model 92 SRC in 38/357.
I know it is an older one because of no cobbled on safety on the bolt.

Jack

I've been looking for a Rossi stainless .357 for a couple of years.
I finally bought an Uberti '73 in .357.
I am quite pleased with the Uberti, even though it was about twice what I wanted to spend and is an oct bbl rifle instaed of a round barreled carbine.

.... It will be hard to improve on that grouping! Hard indead! I fired several more groups and tried for five rounds in a group. Several times I would have four rounds in about 1/2" and the fifth shot would open the group another 1/4". Still not too shabby for a 68 year old levergun. :D B...

I'm getting better at setting priorities in my old age.
There was a time when a full time job, a part time job. a family, and the pursuit of a college degree, simultaneously, was a distraction from shooting.

John,

You are welcome.
I looked around on Fotki and found the price is $24 per year for 100 Gigs of storage,
They have other options if you need more space.

I have, in the past, fired black powder in a couple of modern cartridges. Cleanup was a PITA and I am strongly discouraged from repeating the process.

Lyman offers a gas check seater doo-dad for their lube-sizer.
It is less than ten bucks.
Every place was out of stock when I wanted one so I made my own.
The thing is simple and you could probably make one from a scrap of wood or plastic that would last for a long time.

I usually load from 20 to 50 rounds of rifle ammo at a time. I've used the Lee dipper and Ohaus 1010 scale to measure the powder for many years. I use the next size larger dipper to roughly measure the charge and hold back just a bit of powder to trickle up to the exact charge weight. Tap, tap, tap ...

Thanks to all for your help and ideas. I have concluded that the civvie "MREs" that I bought are overpriced by 4x. Much of this is because they include things that I really don't need. like the flameless heater that adds about $2.00 to the cost of each meal. The extra ten bucks for five me...

H&R was a good value before Remington took over and lowered the quality.

The price should be between 350-375.

Bair stuff is good quality. I've a few die sets left from back in the day.
They were enough cheaper to catch my eye when the five bucks price difference was a couple hours pay.
I think that Bair was bought out by Pacific.
I would ttake them for fifteen bucks, if I was you.

Watch your velocity.
I think that the plated bullets are limited to about 1200 fps.
You already know about no crimp.
Are the noses flat enough for feeding through a tubular rifle magazine or are you loading them just for revolvers?
