Rough Rossi?

[joatmon]

Shot my new (wal-mart)Rossi yesterday and found a whole new meaning for rough!! The DVD from Steve's guns on slicking the Rossi, does it show how to slick em up without buying a bunch of parts or is it new parts biased

It's mostly disassembling and smoothing things out with sandpaper/dremel. The only parts I replaced per his recommendation was a spring kit and the plastic follower for the magazine tube. I highly recommend the dvd, bought a copy myself and gifted it on to another member here.

Almost done doing that to my .45 Rossi. No big thing, mostly common sense and YouTube videos. I have a good set of gunsmithing stones, small needle files, punches, Dremel, all kinds of gunsmiffing tools - they come in handy.

But man, talk about some crude machine work! Guess they figured us dumb redneck Americans would never take them apart. We need an AMERICAN manufacturer to buy Rossi and start making those '92's RIGHT!!! Too damn good of a design to let them fade away. Best leverguns ever IMO.

What they said....easy peasy

For the first timer or seasoned lever gunner I'm sure there is a trick or two in the DVD to help ya smooth out its cycling. I picked it up to figure out a little hitch just before the breach locks up. Seriously, I think the info was good and also order a complete set of actions springs. They are wy oversprung from the factory. No sense getting pissed off just to cycle your lever gun 'like it should be'. Watch the vid, do the mods and you'll be surprised at how smooth they can operate. Heck, you spend 30 bucks at Starnuts in a week if ya drink coffee there.

Thanks for the replies. Guess I'll look for one before I tare into this one, my 73 is slick as snot after watching the u-tube vid's and working it over. Thanks to you 'all. Aaron

Steve's guns DVD is a great help
step by step directions to get it very slick.
As others said only parts you MAY want it the spring and metal mag follower

All I did with my Marlins's was sit watching TV, and cycling the actions. This method of slicking a gun up has worked with every gun I own. Good hand exercise too.

When you cycling your rifle .About long do you do it for? i was wondering on that.

[Smoke4320]

changing the ejector spring was a major upgrade for me .. no more brass 10 ft away ..

Probably about 30 minutes a day for a week or more.

[trapper9260]

Ok thank you Now i got some work to do then .Thank you again

Or, you can polish the ejector shank, go to Ace Hardware and get a spring with half the wire thickness for a couple bucks and be done with it. You will get rid of most of the roughness on closing the action by doing this. As a bonus your ejected empties remain in your zip code!

The problem with the above is the word 'you'. YOU do what works for you, do not assume to instruct me unless I ask YOU to.

YOU should watch how YOU respond.

Greetings
Personally as an owner of 3 Rossi and one sold the two NIB carbines were well served by doing very much the same as "fecmech" suggested. That spring is powerful enough to launch 45 Colt brass like an SKS does 7.62x39 brass.

He was out of bounds, talking about how I do things is not the same as telling others what to do, which is what he did. I did not, my post was clear as to what I did with my rifle, didn't tell anyone else to do it. Even on the internet it is very impolite to tell others what to do.

But if you were offended by my response I apologize.

[Texas by God]

Sounds to me like Fecmech was talking to the op, not you WW. Both of you were trying to help.

Your answer was out of bounds.
It would be totally different if you started this thread.
But you didn't.
You were just putting in your two cents like he was.

When explaining how to fix something I always give instructions as 'orders'.
With you being used a lot.

After I bought mine I disassembled it and used a jewels file and a hard Arkansas stone to remove rough edges. I also washed away ( with water ) the sorry water based stain on the wood and refinished .
