1892 Win/Miroku lever action 'levering' versus Rossi 92's

[mickbr]

Fellas is the lever cycling action of the Japchesters the same as with Rossi 92's? Im not talking reliability or quality so much as just comparing stroke and lever movement? No tricks or differences? Asking as I have never seen one in the flesh and thinking to get one shipped to me.

I have a wonderful Win 92 long barrel Miroku copy. Its a beautiful rifle that cycles smoothly and and very accurate with my handloads .I have a skinner peep site and can take deer out to 100 yards easily with it. Its shooting 300 grain XTP at 1650fps.I also had the trigger action smoothed out and have the half cock safety working by Turnbull.

I've got both Rossi and Miroku plus originals and they are all good.

I don't have a Miroku, but the Marlins and Winchesters I have never had problems with. The Rossis's, some needed tweaking, but at below 1/2 the price, I didn't mind.

None of the coil springs guns are as smooth as original .
The best repro was the AMF 1892 and the Chiappa 1892 Both had original leaf spring. Much smoother.

Even with reduced spring my Rossi is much harder to cycle.
