rossi 92 454

[oldebear1950]

Does anyone have any experience with the new version of the ROSSI 454 with the loading gate, and the mag tube loading and unloading? I am saving to buy one and was wanting someones oppinion that has one

I don't have one Oldebear, but I would bet my lunch money that it would be mostly favorable. I have read a lot of good comments on the
net about the new CBC made Rossi's. I hope you get to find out.

The local Farm store has a bunch of New Rossi 92's, but none in .454.......44mag,.357,&.45colt. I looked at the .45 Colt and they are much improved, well finished and pretty darn smooth to work the lever. stainless are $749.00 and blued are $729.00. they currently have $75.00 off. If I didn't already have older Rossi's in .357 and 44-40 I'd buy a new one. Good Luck with the search. .

There are reviews of the m92s in .454 by both Hickok45 and Target Suite on You Tube. Neither of those guys pull any punches when they do reviews. Good luck!

I traded for a new Rossi 38/357 mag and I am really happy with that trade. The one I have has the 16 inch barrel, and I also have a Ruger Security Six revolver.
I would like to have a 454 to go with my Uberti 45 colt, EL PATRON revolver. I want the 454 because the mag tube is screwed into the receiver, and is not prone to backing out of the receiver over time.

[oldebear1950]

I did text Rossi and told them they should consider doing that to all their lever carbines and rifles.
I also sent them a text about the new 454 has a mag tube that works like the Henry rifles. and screws in and out for loading and unloading. I believe they should also do that with all their lever guns

I wonder if the newer CBC manufactured rifles have mag tubes threaded into receiver?
For the 357's and 44's I mean.
First I heard of this issue.

This is a common problem?

almost bought one of these stainless CBC guns,

Glad I didn't as a searched this up and am not sure if the mag tube working loose during firing has been remedied in the calibers other than 454

That would be a big disappointment to find a mag tube loose

[oldebear1950]

So far have had no problem with my 38/357 . I have had mine over a year now with no problem. Most of the guys I have chatted on here do not seem to have a problem with the 38/357 doing that

[oldebear1950]

I was able to trade for a new 454 Rossi R 92 stainless with 20 inch barrel and so far am really happy with the one I have.

It seems Rossi makes two models of this gun. The one I got was made for cowboy action shooting and does not have the loading thru the mag tube that some of the other ones have.
I was hoping it would but oh well, that was the only one I could get at the time.

It was my understanding that the Rossi rifles in the 'normal' chamberings didn't have any magazine-tube issues, any more than their WInchester parent, or their Marlin cousins, but that the extra recoil of the high-pressure 454 Casull rounds created an issue, remedied by threading the magazine tube.

It also could be that the magazine tubes with the tube-loading feature have enough more mass, and thus inertia, that they would be more prone to pulling away from the receiver during heavy recoil. I only have one Rossi tube-loading model that isn't a 454 Casull, and although I've not shot unusually stout loads in it, it has shot plenty of 44 Mag 300 grain loads without issues.

[oldebear1950]

It is my understanding that all the new 454s have the screw in mag tubes.

The one I have does have the loading gate, but not the tube loading and unloading. So far, all I have shot have been 45 colt loads, and while I have read that some have issues with 45 colt loads, I have not.
But then I have only shot about a half a box thru the gun. But it was new when I got it, and maybe Rossi figured out what the problem was and fixed it.

[oldebear1950]

I do reload, and have fired both my reloads and factory loads but all in 45 colt, and not 454 loads, but I also keep my reloads to factory length .
