Maybe..............
The main issue would be if the horizontal bar is long enough to center the aperture on the bore C/L - which can be tested via holding the assembled sight against the side of the receiver.
A secondary issue is that the Rossi's I've D/T'd have all had the hardest steel I've ever come across - making it mandatory to use the correct drill & tap for the application.

Maybe, I'm not all that familiar with old Redfield sights.
I will say you will probably be money ahead to sell your sight to a Savage 99 owner and buy one that fits a 92 Winchester.

Yeah, I would agree is I could find one for the 1892. I want an old Redfield or Lyman because the are all steel, nobody makes a good all steel receiver sight now, the ones that are available are made out of alum. alloy and sloppily fitted. Been looking for an old Redfield or Lyman for the model 92 for months now, looking for something that can be made to work at this point.Originally Posted by Mk42gunner

FWIW, any receiver sight designated for the Winchester 94 will also fit any Model 1892 - as Winchester used the same sights on both guns.

There's one on ebay right now with a couple of minutes to go. Hurry if you want it.

I guess I just got back here (and over there) a few minutes too late, but appreciate the heads up.

Not traditional looking, but you can buy a sight for your Rossi from Steves Gunz. Or you can make one if you have a lathe and some time. I just finished one up for my Rossi .45 Colt.
pretty neat, quack

NO!!! just get the right one for your gun!
The one you've got is worth more than the one you need. so you've got a bargaining chip.
