Picked up a Marlin 1894CB in 45 colt on Jan 2. Despite the Marlin worries the last couple of years, this rifle is very nice with a great trigger, and for some reason, Cabela's had it on sale for a...

I store my guns in a safe with dehumidifier. On top of that they're oiled, placed in gun socks which are placed inside bags made of VCI (vapor corrosion inhibitor) tubing heat sealed at both ends. ...

You can purchase an NOE picatinny rail specifically for the Rossi 92, and designed for a scout scope mount. It mounts to those threaded holes, after which you can mount an XS ghost ring sight to...

My understanding is that there are differences in the tubular magazine on the 454 vs 45 colt (threaded into the receiver vs an extension of the magazine plug screw holding the magazine in place, and...

I use Bench Dog Bench Cookies, which are nonslip woodworking supports, they're a lot cheaper than gunsmithing bench blocks, 4 of them for $10 on Amazon vs $15-$20 each for gunsmithing bench blocks

Don't think Rossi ever made one in 44 colt, only 44 Rem Mag. Were you thinking 45 colt maybe?

You drift the front sight in the opposite direction, i.e. if you want to move POI right, you drift (with a brass punch) the front sight left. If I'm doing sighting in, I take a punch, hammer and...

I don't believe this is correct. Just looked up SAAMI specs for 45 colt, and it shows a case diameter of .480 and cylindrical. There is a slight taper to the rifle chamber, but not the cartridge, so...

The SWC that my big boy steel 45 colt is fussy about is the Lyman 452424 (Keith) mold. That one has a crimp groove which puts the COAL well over 1.60, and if you don't crimp right at the front edge...

XS does make removable low backup ghost rings for a picatinny rail. Remove by loosening one screw. I've got one on each of two Rossi's and a Henry big boy steel. You can't mount a scope on the...

I have both, and have found that they accept any boolit I feed them. Heaviest I shoot in 357 is a 165 gr semiwadcutter, and in 45 colt a 255 gr semiwadcutter. Reliability has been very good, no...

I have them both as well, and it's a tough choice, I got the 357 first (16 inch barrel) and that's the handiest little rifle you could ever ask for, just pure fun. The 45 colt came along a little...

I've got a steel skinner front sight on my big boy steel as well as a couple of rossi 92s. White paint pen makes that front sight very visible, I'm sure you could use the same white paint on a brass...

I'd guess that getting parts for a Rossi 92 is no more difficult than getting them for a Miroku/Winchester 1892 or a Chiappa 92. I've actually heard that Rossi customer service is better lately. ...

I had an issue with my Henry Big Boy within the first week I had it, the local retail store sent it back, and they sent me a NEW RIFLE within 2 weeks. This would only work if you took it back to the...

45 colt and 357 mag. Have them both. Like them both a lot. I own a Ruger super redhawk in 454, don't like to shoot it much in that caliber, but of course it also handles 45 colt which is very mild...

I've got two Rossi's (.357 and 45 Colt) and one Henry (.357). Rossi's are light, nimble, have amazingly good triggers and are accurate. I've disassembled and cleaned both often enough to be...

Can't speak to empty cartridges, but my home made snap caps (38 special brass plus cast boolit with a rubber primer) dump out right at my feet

Beautiful thing, but it looks like the grain of the wood runs vertical to the wrist of the stock. You might see if they still have your original stock, because I'd want a backup incase it snapped

I agree with the 16", I have a 357 in 16 inch and a 45 colt in 20 inch, and the 357 is just more fun. The utility of a two cartridge gun is great too. 38 special is my new 22 rimfire (since we're...

Buds has two new ones listed right now.

Apparently Braztech Rossi is being more accommodating about parts (if the rifle is out of warranty). The...

I have 2 Rossi carbines (357 and 45 colt) and a Henry Big Boy in 357. The Big Boy that I started out with had a major problem right out of the box. Took it back to the dealer, they sent it in and...

Wasn't aware that any of them came with a factory front tang sight screw, only the rear tang through screw. Is this possibly an aftermarket part?

Yep, me too. The barrel mounted sight works better than expected, if the aperature it comes with is too small, you can just remove it and use the sight as a ghost ring. Works very well for my old...
