Rossi 92 in .41 mag
Can I please get some info on how involved it would be to create a Rossi 92 in .41 mag? Start with a .44 mag? The barrel is obvious, but the extractor and internal bits? Childs play for a guy like Steve Jones or would I be looking at dumping way over a grand into a $300 rifle? (Not that I'm agin that, but I'd like to have some idea what I'd be biting off.)
Thanks for any insights you 1892 gurus may have! I own 'em and like 'em, but I've not wrenched on one beyond stock refinishing etc.

Re: Rossi 92 in .41 mag
Cant help with your question. But I have always wondered why they never made in 41 . I see scads of 44WCF, why didn't they make a 38WCF? Cant even imagine how a 32 or 25WCF would sell. Sure would be nice to have the option of those 4 calibers. Especially if they came D+T'ed for peep sights.
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

I email that sugestion to Rossi about once a year, I figure if they hear it form enough people enough times they will build some.

Re: Rossi 92 in .41 mag
WHY ??? The ammo is a little lighter than .44 mag. I suppose the finished rifle fully loaded would weigh half an ounce less than.... Wait I forgot, the barrel will be thicker... Oh just forget it!!!

Re: Rossi 92 in .41 mag
Actually I'd love one in 32-20 or one of the newer 'mag' 32's...
And while they're building' it get me they can make it threaded for a 30 cal can, or better yet just fit it with an integral suppressor. Best little woods walking gun I could imagine! Blend of old and new technology.

Re: Rossi 92 in .41 mag
I had a pair of Marlin levers in 41 MAG but never a Rossi !
FWIW , the 41's I had shot very nicely on paper , but double lung shots on deer were not exactly what I would have expected !
Granted the bullets expanded as they should but animal reaction by three succesive doe whitetails was not what I particularly cared to see . All three deer were shot behind the shoulder with no apparent reaction other then lifting their heads . All three were shot a second time in the exact same spot and only one of the three reacted in a way that would lead you to believe they had been hit . The other two kinda just walked or trotted over a lttle rise in the woods . None of the three went more then 50 yards after the shot and I recovered bullets from two of them other four bullets were pass thru's . The bullet used was the Nosler 210 grain HP. I don't really blame anything for anything as the bullet did what it should I had them loaded warm enough and I hit them where I was supposed to ALL SIX TIMES . The reaction was just not what I would like to see , if it had only been once well I'd forget it . But three succesive deer and all the deer I ever fired on with a 41 MAG seems a little strange to say the least .
The rifle I did that with was the Marlin 1894FG , I also had a Marlin 1894CCL in 41 MAG , wish I had gotten some gas checks that fit the Lyman mold I had and cast and loaded some of those to try in the 1894CCL on deer . I'd just like to see if my home cast would have produced a better reaction then the jacketed stuff !
Oh for those that are unaware the 1894CCL was a special edition Marlin that had a 20" octagon barrel they made them in 32-20 , 41 MAG and 44-40 as I had one of each for awhile .

Re: Rossi 92 in .41 mag
.41 mag in a lever gun is a great little package. I have one of the Marlin 1894FG .41's and it's my favorite out of every lever action I own. It's just about perfect for deer and hawgs in thick brush (For me anyway) Easy round to load too.
I load 215 grain LSWC's with gas checks and they have been stone cold killers. I've never tried the jacketed bullets on large game like 6pt-sika mentioned but I'm glad I haven't after hearing how poorly they performed for him.

Re: Rossi 92 in .41 mag
Why? Just 'cause. 'Cause they are fun, shoot great and the the cartridge in a rifle rivals the .35 Rem. I have a Contender carbine barrel which is pure fun with Magnum loads and it works. 6ptsitka said that the 210 gr. bullet he was using (the XTP?) didn't work so hot out of the carbine but I haven't had a problem, yet. (Murphy is out there somewhere, I know)

Re: Rossi 92 in .41 mag
I think you would be better off reboring/rechambering a 357 Mag. I have a spare 357 and was toying with the idea of contacting JES to see if he would do it. That is all I would want him to do and I would handle the rest.
My 1894FG is a killing machine with my TLC411-260-RF. Here on the ranch, I've started to let any hunting guest that doesn't not have a rifle use it. The heavy cast bullet is a killer. It has knocked more deer and hogs completely off their feet that any cartridge shot out here.

Re: Rossi 92 in .41 mag
.41 Mag and .327 Federal would both be nice for me. PillHer has a .327 Sp101 that she loves, and a levergun to go with it would be awesome. I know that it would be a duplicate of the .32-20 in the power department, but it is so easy to load that little straight wall .327, and it uses the same 115 grain lead bullets that the .32-20 uses. I would think that the .327 would be able to feed well since it is long for the diameter, although I am not an expert in that. The .41 Mag should end up with a larger bullet selection if there were enough of us loading for it. I have never shot one, but I have heard lots of good about it.

Re: Rossi 92 in .41 mag
No where up there did I say the bullet didn't do what it was supposed to on any of the three deer !
WHAT I DID SAY WAS , that all three deer showed no visible reaction to being hit . And each was shot twice , and after gutting and skinning all shots were where they were supposed to be . And I even found two of the 6 bullets fired and they mushroomed as one would hope .
I am not sure what to blame for the less then stellar deer reaction . And to be honest if I hadn't been in a hurry to shoot all three I am almost positive i coulda sat there and waited for them all to drop dead after the first shot each . But based on the deers reaction I had no clue whether I hit them or not . Well the first two were like this I shot at the largest doe after the shot she picked her head and then went back to eating , I fired at her againa nd she ambled maybe 30 yards over a hill . She was about 50 yards from me when i fired . The medium sized doe was still standing there eating and I then shot at her once and I swear to God she did the exact same thing and again I fired the second time . And after the second shot she ambled on off and over a rise . Th third was a button buck and he was standing there as well and swear to God I took a pop at him and he did THE EXACT same thing however when I popped him the second time he took off like a scalded cat in a different direction and I saw him fall . After that i got down out the tree and found the other two right over the rise where they went . When I gutted and skinned them about 45 minutes later I found all six shots to have hit where I aimed and 4 were pass thrus with me finding two under the hides on the off sides .
So again under no means do I discredit the bullets the loads , the gun or my shooting ablilty . The only thing that seemd strange was the deers reactions and again if it had been one that did that I would think nothing of it !
I cleaned house like that another time with a 7 Mag . Shot the first and she hauled tail and saw her roll up , shot the second and she followed suit , the third happened to be a button who i am sure was pumped up at that point , anyway took a shot at him and thought I had missed reloaded and fired the second time and he fell right over . Back down at the skinning pole I saw both shots on the button were within an inch of each other . I assume f I hadn't fired the second time he would have toppled over in a few seconds .

Re: Rossi 92 in .41 mag
6pt, must have been some of those new armor plated deer that I keep hearing that I need to use a 300 Mag to hunt deer for.
Have to admit though that that is pretty strange behavior for 'em. Every one that I ever shot, either fell over dead or ran off. Never had one just stand around like nothing happened.

I wonder if those deer were dining on whacky tabacky? To stoned to know they'd been shot?
In my case it matters not though. I'd just like to have a companion to my .41 pistols. Sure is an interesting mystery however!

Dog,
The 357m Rossi rifle won't work unless you open up the hole in the receiver for the larger 44/45 mag tube. Then you would also need the 44/45 tube and forewood. and forward barrel band. The better option is to use a 44/45 Rossi, rebarrel or reline to 41 cal then use 357mag shell guides but trim the backs so they install wide enough for the 41. (you also have to remove the skirt from the left guide).
Rossi has actually made 41 mag 92's. A few years back I worked one that belongs to an LSI employee. It may be the only one in country but it was a factory 41 mag 92.
Probably not going to happen. The 32 S&W based carts have rim dia.s that are just too small. The 32-20/25-20 works just barely. The problem is the ejector housing there on the bottom of the bolt. It's too wide to pass through the shell guides. Even the 32-20/25-20 guns have special bolts and lever to clear. To make it work the ejector and lower part of the bolt would have to be totally re-engineered.piller wrote:.41 Mag and .327 Federal would both be nice for me.

For awhile the Chiappa folks showed 92 chambered for 32 H&R mag in their product list but it never came to pass. I'm betting the 22 cal Rossi 92 that was listed for awhile ran into the same problem.

Re: Rossi 92 in .41 mag
I would add, the conversion would also require a 357mag breech bolt and ejector. It would have to be opened up for the larger 41 mag rim.

Re: Rossi 92 in .41 mag
Looks to be too big a project for me.
Interesting about the LSI 41 Mag.

Re: Rossi 92 in .41 mag
I know one thing - if they would re-engineer the '92 for the 32 caliber cartridges, they'd sell a million of them. I'd settle for just two center-fire lever carbines; a 32-20 or 32 Fed with a 45 Colt or 44 Mag - I'd miss the 357's but 32 & 45 could do it all.

Re: Rossi 92 in .41 mag
Thanks Steve! So it looks like more than $1500 to have this done and I just don't think I can swing that. If a guy could get it done for $8-900 it would really be a sweet option for someone willing to pay some geedas for an unobtainium rifle, but I just don't know if I can handle that kind of cash going into what would still be a Rossi with Rossi wood etc. after the fact.
Thanks again though!

If you start collecting the parts and keep and eye out for a decent used 44/45 cal gun you can probably do it for considerably less.
I just found this Rossi 92 Parts Blue Steel 20" Barrel 357 Magnum for $85

Re: Rossi 92 in .41 mag
Greetings
I jst read all this with great interest as I am another of those who would like a 92 caliber .41 mag and am not afraid to try.
Already have a 336 caliber .414 Supermag ( reamer is where you have to bite hard on leather) so I can see it coming together. Patience and trying will get alot done.
Thanks everyone for the imput and advice.

I've been following this thread with interest. 41 Magnum is one of my

Please do keep us updated - I can't wait to see how it turns out!

Re: Rossi 92 in .41 mag
Would have to do something about the mag tube if you used a .357. Hmmm,would a .44 mag. tube fit a .357 frame?Ranch Dog wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2013 8:46 pm I think you would be better off reboring/rechambering a 357 Mag. I have a spare 357 and was toying with the idea of contacting JES to see if he would do it. That is all I would want him to do and I would handle the rest.
My 1894FG is a killing machine with my TLC411-260-RF. Here on the ranch, I've started to let any hunting guest that doesn't not have a rifle use it. The heavy cast bullet is a killer. It has knocked more deer and hogs completely off their feet that any cartridge shot out here.

Re: Rossi 92 in .41 mag

Wow an old thread but a still-interesting topic a Marlin 1894 or Winchester 1892 in ANY of the 'pistol calibers' is gonna be a fun gun...
My pics:
218 Bee
25-20
32-20 (or 327 Fed Mag or 32 H&R Mag)
357 Bain & Davis
38-40
44-40
475 Linebaugh
I have a 22 LR, 218 Bee, 32-20,, 357 Mag, 44 Mag, 45 Colt, 454 Casull, and 500 S&W in short-action leverguns, so that pretty much covers everything, but other cartridges are welcome...!

Re: Rossi 92 in .41 mag
This was my reason for wanting .357 Mag lever gun:
So, if you want a .41 mag rifle match for your .41 Mag handgun bullets try the Win 1895 .405 WCF and shoot .411 bullets of 210 grains, 300 grains, or 400 grains.
Proven on big game in USA and on DG and PG in Africa. Worked for me!
