She's been neglected but not abused. Seems like she was a deer rifle that laid around after he couldn't use her anymore....

At this point I'm considering sending the rifle to steve to get it fixed, even with a year's wait time. I've tried to be as careful as I can be and I keep getting into jams. I thought after the first...

I did get the bolt pin properly in place. I'll remember about pushing the bolt forward next time.
Unfortunately the lever (and the locking lugs) won't go down at all. Since the pin that connects...

I have looked at https://www.rossi-rifleman.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6649
as the closest issue I could find. I tried the tapping with a mallet and that didn't work. I may try loosening the guides but...

If it's not one thing it's another. I had to take it apart again to get part of a dowel out of the barrel. While it was all disassembled I put some white lithium grease on the moving parts. I had...

I've noticed in dry fire that the trigger is fine if worked immediately but if left cocked for several seconds and then pulled there's a tendency for the hammer to hang. Sometimes I can see a tiny...

I did manage to fix it. It's all back together and seems to be functioning.
What I wound up doing to get the bolt forward was squeezing slowly but...

So here's the picture. I mean on the bright side after fooling with it this long I have a much better idea of how it all comes together.

If I had just put the main spring in wrong and then gave myself a real problem....well that's about the size of my luck.
About the pin wiggling out, I guess I'm this generation's "better idiot"...

I took it apart again. And I think the bolt and lever weren't quite correctly joined. It seemed to be going back together better and easier. I'm at the stage in reassembly after you put bolt pin in....

So I very carefully took a rossi 92 apart (https://youtu.be/rKAucKBnbes and http://www.leverguns.com/articles/taylor/field_strip.htm) were the resources I used.
Cleaned it. But now that I've got...

Ok. I will put some practice in on some known diameters. I used the ratchet not the spindle to close on it so I'll also experiment with the two different types.
The measurement differences with...

Hello,
I've been doing this in the Johnny Cash manner (one piece at a time). So I've been a member for a while but only just slugged my barrel.I drove a pure lead .360 roundball through a .357...

A lot of the issue you'll run into, as has been said, is that gun enthusiasts have learned the hard way since the 90s that we will be edited into idiots if filmmakers are unable to find idiots to...

5 months from idea to follow through. Sad to say that's pretty fast for one of my projects :-?
Just went through, cut a little off the trigger return spring and polished the moving surfaces to a...

I've been working my way slowly through "Hell, I was there" and Elmer Kieth talks about using a slingshot in self defense as a boy. Took out a few teeth with it if the story is to be believed and...

I certainly appreciate hearing from people who have used them. The wildfire is the 1077 only in PCP form is my understanding. Same magazines and doubleaction/semiauto action which is the main thing...

Well gents I enjoyed some plinking this year! With panic buying engaged again I don't think I'm going to be plinking with my .22 for a while.
So that moves up plans to get either the crosman 1077...

I also saw "Airgun nation" as a site with (from the outside) a decent buying and selling forum. I've heard of gateway to airguns more but I'm not enough into the airgun world to know how the forums...

Hello All,
I've been recently getting more involved in my club. Unfortunately they do not have airgun competition anymore. They did years before I joined but lack of interest killed it. They have...

For sharpening knives and tools I have some stones. The finest is a 1000 grit arkansas stone. I'm thinking I might pick up a little finer grit sandpaper and use that on the stone instead. Although...

I love that 24" barrel. Not nearly as popular but I love how they point and feel. The 16 in ones feel too short for me.

So the thread on aftermarket triggers was interesting. It introduced me to brimstone gunsmithing and basically sold me one having them upgrade my trigger instead of buying a bx 25 drop in new...
