It is a Taylor's & Company Takedown 92 in .44-40

They are hard to find but well worth the search as they do work and are verrrrrrrrrrrrrry smooth actions and accurate to shoot.
Want to build a custom model 92 and will wait for another miroku to show up that is just a parts gun to do the custom mods to.
Where is the rifle? Did Taylor's claim they had to send it back to Italy for examination rather than just replace it for you?Promises and apologies from Taylor's and from Chiappa, but nothing else so far. Lip service is cheap.
That's great because the supply of Japanese '92s has been erratic and now Winchester has buggered them with "updates" to boot. A steady line of really nice, quality 92's will sell at a predictable pace if they can get on with it.Legacy Sports folks and Chiappa have contacted me. I have been consulting with Chiappa since then to remedy some of these issues. The bottom line is they are definitely interested in making a better gun. I plan to see them at the ShotShow for some updates.
I didn't say they are all bad. What I said is they have too many unnessasary add-on liability parts that make some of these guns not too reliable. I would add too many of these parts are small and delicate. History has shown that these type parts in a firearm tend to not stand the test of time. In a 100 years or less many of those guns will be out of service.shdwlkr wrote:Nate Kiowa Jones
I have had no issues with my miroku 92 or 86. So I guess I got some good ones not saying I won't but then any firearm can have issues after a few thousand rounds fired down range.
I looked at all the others before getting the Miroku and they all have issues so what are you going to do. I also have a model 92 original action that you don't want to work on either. So even originals are the same all have issues.
I don't understand that statement. Did I tell you I wouldn't work on it?I also have a model 92 original action that you don't want to work on either.
All I can say then is don't look inside a Rossi! Sheesh, those things are rough as a cob and I've seen 'em full of rust to boot. Plenty of folks enjoying them nonetheless...The internal machining was so bad that it did not feed properly....I disassembled it and took pics of all the parts and sent them to Chiappa in Italy and the Australian importers....Still have not heard from Chiappa but the Australian importers (Nioa Arms) answered me within 24 hours, had a replacement rifle sent for my inspection within a week and when I refused it as well they gave me back my money....Those guns look great.
While the early Rossis had a very dark, almost black stock and some quality control issues. The more recent Rossis of the past few years are actually pretty well made. The wood is much better now and they are stained at more moderate brown.olyinaz wrote:All I can say then is don't look inside a Rossi!
