Rossi 92 .357 feeding problems Part 2

[@nobody2021]

for future reference for anyone else who might see this video and have feeding problems, this guy is correct about a feeding issue that these guns can have, however, my rifle is currently experiencing feeding issues due to the same part having been machined out of spec. the edge of it to the very right, starting at the bottom corner of the radius that is cut into it, was milled out of spec. that surface should be, from eyeballing it with a set of calipers, about .2500" tall. the one on mine is only .2000" tall, so that measurement was milled a whole fifty thousandths of an inch out of tolerance. despite the bevel in question having been cut properly and it extending toward the center of the receiver as far as it should, as this guy had to do to his rifle in this small series of videos, if that surface doesn't extend down as far as it should, the bottom only engages with the rim of the case on the very edge, on the rounded radius of the edge. it's a tenuous and unreliable engagement compared to how it SHOULD be, which is that the face should engage with at least some portion of the flat of the bottom of the case rim. i can see how it got through QC, as at least half the time i cycled a dummy round, it fed properly and the cartridge stop (the part in question in this video and it's followups) they probably just loaded 3 dummy rounds into it and they fed properly. you only reliably run into the problem when you've cycled through 5 or 10 rounds, you are bound to run into it at least 2 or 3 times, sometimes even more frequently. with that said, performing this fix could very well fix your rifle, however there is no guarantee, because even if the bevel was cut properly, if it was machined out of spec like on mine, the cartridge stop still won't work properly and reliably. at that point all you can do is buy an aftermarket replacement for the part that is in spec, try to modify the part yourself by perhaps adding material to it like with a TIG or MIG welder an removing material until it is a useable shape, or send it in under warranty and see if the company will fix it for you. if you run into this problem, inspect the part while it is retaining a cartridge and see if it looks short. be specific with them that you know what is wrong with it. dunno if they'll help, but if you can tell them exactly what is wrong with the gun then that couldn't hurt your chances of getting it serviced successfully. i had heard that CBC's finishing was better than taurus' has been in the past and it does seem to be. i chock this up to it just being a lemon with a defective part, as the rest of the gun does seem to be pretty well finished.

Thank you Ron!

Looks pretty corroded and nasty looking. 😮

No, I bought this rifle brand new in the box. It just needed a really good cleaning before I made the video, which I didn't do. Not corroded, just filthy from too much fun.
