Even a blind hog can find an acorn now and then. I had sold my last Rossi 92 a while back to a friend who wanted it for years. It was a 357 made before all the safety devices and a good shooter holding under 3# at 100 yards with iron sights.
I got to missing it so much I ended up buying a new one. First I put it on the bench and smoothed it and set the trigger for 3# even. I slipped on a set of Marbles sights andt hen I erased all the goofy safety switches.
Well I got it to the range today and it IS a shooter. 158 grain swc few fine after the polish job and at 50 yards went in under 1 1/2" with the iron sights. 357 loads shot just an inch higher and grouped even tighter. The only thing I regret is that it took 6 hours on the bench to get it as smoother and easy feeding as the 1970 model was right from the box.
This one will have to be a keeper.
