Rossi R92 50 Cent Action Job (Winchester 92 Clone)

[@beachthor1]

I did it. I went to harbor freight, bought the spring set, installed it. Took me 5 hours. First gun I’ve ever disassembled and reassembled. Wow. I’ve accomplished something today. Thank you.

[@gabrielacuna5399]

Do you remember what spring set it was ? Appreciate any help. Thank ya

[@shawnbonning8848]

Thank you for posting this tutorial. I just did this on a 44 mag with the 20 inch barrel. I went to the hardware store and got a $0.75 spring. Then I got out the Dremel with a buffing wheel and some polishing compound and I went to town. The flat spring for the trigger had a huge Burr on the end of it. Once I eliminated that I had a beautiful trigger , 3 lb pull ( maybe ) and zero creep. Your video was invaluable.

[@bamadoc1373]

I own one. After 3 boxes or so it slicked up pretty much on it's own and I didn't void my warranty.

[@malcolmtudor8039]

Right. Break-in on a new lever action is a actual thing.

[@pdxflint]

To all the Rossi haters, I picked up a 16" .357 mag carbine a month ago at my local gun dealer for $560 brand new and have put about 150 rounds of .38, .38+ and .357 jhp. Minor sight adjustment (shooting a bit high at 40 yards out of the box, adjusted the buckhorn for elevation, now pretty close with various loads.) Haven't had any feed issues, and action seems great, maybe a bit tight at first, but definitely smoothing out/loosening up with use.Side load gate seemed stiff at first, but once I got the hang of loading rounds by partially inserting and pushing the prior round in with the next one, and being firm with it, it all just slides in like it should. No cut thumbs. Just practice and figure out what technique works for you, and perfect it. For what it's worth, I love the gun. Always wanted a Winchester, but for the money this little Rossi fills the bill, and I can't wait to take it shooting. My only problem has to do with finding .38 special and .357 magnum ammo... even considering getting into reloading just so I can shoot this thing a lot. If it weren't for primers being so unavailable and priced like gold. Can't blame the gun, though. I think Rossi's quality control is getting better of late, or I just got one that works. Looking forward to breaking this thing in further.

[@twalk6164]

Love my 92 in .44 mag, and have for years. Its my cabin "bear gun". Quite accurate, fast and handy. To do more shooting for fun, I just ordered the same in .38/.357. Can't wait to woodswalk with it, maybe pot a squirrel with a .38. I really appreciate Rossi keeping this fine old design alive. Hope some younger shooters discover how nice they feel to carry (mine are both Trapper versions). Both will have Williams 5D peep sights, a sight like the military put on AR-15s in the Vietnam era...fast, easy, accurate, durable. John Browning designed this in a week for Winchester, and its still outstanding 100 years later.

[@BlackKnight-ll8qh]

Yes, the mechanical aspect has gotten better. Their inletting needs to go back to how it used to be.

[@isher9035]

I bought one about the same time and mine was dead on. Though, mine was slightly used (dealer bought it, had wrist surgery and couldn't keep it after). Have a BSA 2x pistol scope on it and love it as well. Harvested a doe with it last year.

[@nomansland4811]

Sometimes I think the “haters” are simply attention seeking and excessively picky.

[@bookscheckmout]

Reloading the 357 & 38 series is definitely the way to go.

[@brucefrohn9834]

I appreciate you making this Rossi 92 video. I had my new Rossi 92 apart cleaning, slicking & oiling it, but was having some trouble getting it back together. Your video showed all the tricks, so I was able to get it back together. Thank you

[@Me2Lancer]

Hope you had fun working on the M92 action. My M92 action is smooth as silk and has feed all .357 magnum and 38 special factory ammo fed into it. Normal cycling of the action goes a long way in polishing adjacent metal parts in the action. This is a great handling and accurate carbine. It actually handles better than my Winchester M94.

[@zivendine]

I have three Puma Rossi levers. I took one to a gun smith for an action job. He told me to go shoot it 150 times then see if I still need it. He was right not one of them needed anything after shooting them after apx 100 rds.

Loved this video!… I did the tune-up on my new Rossi R92 & she cycles like butter now!… what a sweet little plinker and way cheaper than my Winchester 30/30 to shoot … also, with the weaker spring on the ejector, my brass isn’t flying out into oblivion anymore, now it lands around my right elbow, I should just put my spent brass ammo can right there and catch it! Thanks again for this helpful video buddy!

Great content. Thank you so much for making this video. I am a member of a Cowboy Action Shooting Club. Le Visa Fork Lead Slingers in Pikeville, KY. Dirty Rotten Ray is a gun dealer that I purchased my R92 from and during my first match it locked up on me. (Broken Gun) One of the moisture control packets was damaged and contaminated my rife. Club member's DRR and EP worked on my rife and slicked it up with new springs. Blessing Turbo Kidd

[@robertturner2916]

Love your video. R92 newbie and really struggled with getting the ejector/spring/little round doohickey back together. Your suggestion of temporarily putting the lever pin into the bolt to hold everything from springing apart saved my bacon. I spent hours before trying this and was ready to just chuck the bolt out of the window! Also felt your video was very honest with how you got through the tuff spots, and the commentary pretty much mirrored my own thoughts (minus the swearing LoL). I know it has been quite a few years since you put this video out but thank you for doing so. Hope all has been well with you in the years since

[@PalmettoNDN]

LOL. Crazy. I clicked on this comment and found 3 names I'm related to. Geiger, Allen and Fletcher. Anyway, yes, use does wear them out but these things come exceptionally rough to the point of barely functioning - sometimes not functioning when they get hot and dirty (especially both of those if you use black powder or substitute). Some self sufficient folks enjoy saving money and slicking them up themselves. Plus, it just makes it more yours in a sentimental and spiritual way. Also, these Rossis are less than $700 pre lung AIDS epidemic prices - not sure about now. Winchester 1892s are well over a grand for Italian reproductions and double that for American made reproductions. I love old guns. I have several muskets I've built myself and I make my own black powder, repair my own locks in my flintlock, etc. However, I am also a modern man and I'm totally not paying the price of 2 ARs and with spare mags or an optic or a Glock for a damned 150 year old obsolete design, no matter how fun it is to play with. That's why my brother and I both chose Rossi. After some work, they freaking rock. His is a modern big game hunting stainless gun in .44 Magnum and mine is a nearly black powder only competition and frontier lawman reenacting gun in .45 Colt. Fun stuff.

[@leshemby9430]

I was just gonna say seems like a lot of work when you can work the lever a couple hundred times watching Yellowstone

[@jgonz3542]

Dude....I was so frustrated after I got my .45 and couldn't get it to cycle ammo without a Jam, and then I couldn't hit my target (Buckhorn user error). Thanks for these videos man. It really made a difference. I spent a while trying to get the new spring in, I ended up going in the other side but it works great. I tried a different youtube recommendation with no results. Next I think I need to reduce the door spring tension and file the edges, my thumb getting chewed up!! Keep it up.

[@GunAndShotTV]

Glad to have helped. I've got a few other 92 videos and several winchester videos on the channel that you might be interested in. Thanks for watching

[@johnwayne7476]

Try ( polishing action on 92 Winchester). Or. ( slicking up lever rifle action ). Get a Drimmel Tool ( or similar) a file should not be necessary as it can take away metal that can’t be replaced ( or is very difficult for sure) . It’s not complicated. And if it’s a stainless steel rifle the result of a polish can be stunning.

The quickest and easiest way to smooth up any guns action (if no longer the cheapest) is to take the damn thing out and shoot several boxes of ammo through it.

[@benjaminfulcher4729]

Recommend Using a SnapCap or spent round rather than live ammo to hold the ejector in place

[@GunAndShotTV]

This is definitely a must. I did mention it in the video and the description but it bears repeating. I did use a dummy round but it's one I made but pulling a bullet and dumping the powder and I should have used orange paint or something to mark it in a way that would have shown up better in the video.

[@zfree85]

Gun&ShotTV I'm sure you are well aware but to spell it out for others, if it has a live primer it can still be dangerous. (yes, even with no powder)

[@GunAndShotTV]

Hamish M. Particularly with a rifle, because if the primer goes off the bullet will lodge in the barrel which will destroy the barrel and possibly your face or hands if the gun is shot without clearing the obstruction.

[@slushbubs]

Gun&ShotTV lmao it doesn't hurt the barrel to have a squib round. you just ram it out.

I have a Rossi 92 .357 I bought a few years ago and mine is as smooth as a babies butt.I love mine!

[@sbostonva]

I have a henry Big Boy in .45 Colt, a Winchester 94 in 30-30 and a Rossi in .357 mag. I'm also happy with the action smoothness. In fact its smoother then the Henry and just as smooth as the Winchester. The issue I have with the Rossi is occasionally the round don't feed into the chamber and jams, but its only happened a few times. I had to use my pocket knife to re align the round. Thats also happened with my Winchester. Thats an issue I need to figure out. The Rossi is much easier to clear out the jammed round. It could just need some extra lubrication at the range. I hand load and could try a slightly shorter OAL. It works best with jacketed RN or RNFP ammo. SWC are not as smooth, but they work. Also you can't hold the Rossi sideways when you cycle the action or the round may not line up with the chamber due to gravity. I've shot several hundred rounds and I would trust it any situation. The Action on the Henry vs the Rossi are much different so I don't expect them to work the same. The Henry is side ejection and you could pretty much cycle it holding the rifle upside down which you can't do with a Rossi. The video was very informative though. I'm going to break mine down and look for wear.

[@KennethElstonBAK]

I've got 4 Henry mares legs (22MMAG, 44MAG, 44MAG and 357 MAG and 2 big boys 45-70 and 30/30 and just picked up a Rossi 45LC to carry instead of my S&W 460 or one of my Henery's since I recently had to buy the brass cover for my 44MAG from carrying it through the woods and spent a lot of money one that 1 little part So I have quit carrying my Henry's in the woods to be scratched up. There are 2 maybe 3 more Henry's I want the 410, the pump 22LR and maybe the .17 HMR or 308 (the Lone Ranger). But thinking I might get the Salvage .17, less cost and dead on target out of the box!! While shooting a friend of mines Salvage A17 which he bought at Cabela's and we went straight to a location where we hunt these large rat-like varmints (marmonts I think they call them) which the eagles swoop down and grab once we shoot them. This rifle was dead on right out of the box. It got boring not missing anything you shot at LOL I hear people saying that all the time and always still zero my rifles; since this wasn't my rifle we didn't do any zeroing. I now see what people are talking about when the say that their rifles were dead on out of the box. I'm still breaking in that 45LC Rossi. I don't like taking the rifle apart and doing the polishing; so I am working the action every time that I can. Sitting watching TV, I'm working the action. sitting around doing nothing, I'm working the Rossi action. I would like for the Rossi action to end up being as smooth as my Henry's.

[@randywelsh2692]

Worth every penny. :) Seriously folks the steps are so well documented, the result is such an awesome little carbine and the trouble of breaking down a 92 without actually doing anything making no sense? Slick em up, don't slick em up but what's the point here?

[@johnlubner8226]

Just watched your video on the 50 cent spring and did it. Boy what a change. I use my 2 Rossi's for cowboy action and it's always hard when using, but with the 50 cent spring job, just using it at home, it seems easier. I'm going to a shoot next week and can't wait to try them out. Thanks

[@gatorunleashed275]

My puma M92 is very ammo sensitive. It will feed both .38 and.357 JHP just fine but any type of soft lead point ammo won't feed hardly at all, it digs in the barrel entrance rather than going into the barrel. Not a big deal though I have ammo that works now. Just found it interesting. Great video thanks for sharing.

[@etekballer14]

What exactly did the spring do? Make the ejection stronger?

[@GunAndShotTV]

The replacement spring lessens the ejection force. This both makes the bolt much easier to close and drops your empty cases at your feet which saves hunting them down if you reload.

[@T30-z5w]

I bought mine new back in 1993. First thing I did was swap out the hammer spring then stone a second angle on the sear to reduce trigger creep. I then proceeded to put about 5,000 rounds through it over the course of a year and it really slicked up very well. I even kill a deer with it. Good little rifles but they messed them up when they added that stupid looking safety on top of the bolt.

[@holidayhouse03]

i've noticed that the pin that you drive out ( part # 49 i think) is missing on my ss r92 that I bought the other day...how big a problem do ya think that is?

[@GunAndShotTV]

The pin I drove out is the lever & breech bolt pin number 56 according to the diagram here. www.schiessen-erzgebirge.de/Blueprints/rossi_92.gif Without it the lever can fall off the bolt when the action opens and everything will be out of alignment which causes other wear issues. I'd call rossi immediately and order the correct pin as the gun isn't safe to fire without it. If you are unsure which pin is missing I'd take it to a gunsmith.

[@holidayhouse03]

Gun&ShotTV I was referencing the parts guide that is in the owners manual which I now understand to be a "generic" parts guide. Maybe I can better explain it like this...it is the pin that holds the right side cartridge guide...it is the pin that you drive out at the 4:46 mark of your video. That is the pin that is missing. Thank you for your response.

[@GunAndShotTV]

There is only one pin accessible from the loading gate side of the receiver and it is the lever and breech bolt pin. It it's missing the lever and bolt are not truly attached. If you have an open hole that connects to the cartridge guide that is a screw according to the parts diagram I linked and on my gun. Specifically it's part 31 cartridge guide screw. Without looking I can't really tell what's missing. If you could post a video showing whats missing or start a thread at www.rossi-rifleman.com/ someone has probably had the same exact issue and can tell you the best way to fix it.

[@GunAndShotTV]

Haven't seen the show but plenty of leather places make front and back scabbards for mare's legs. Here is one of them aussiesaddle.com/Products/Shootist/scabbards.html

[@KennethElstonBAK]

You know watching the show today, the holster looks more like a pouch more than a holster. It really doesn't look leather at all, maybe synthetic with fuzzy material on the inside. I've found a few people who make the hip and backpack type holsters for the mares legs holsters that I really like; but, WOW are they expensive. I found a guy selling water buffalo as exotic material for your holster (he was certainly ripping people off; there's nothing exotic about water buffalo hide). he had one that I liked a lot and would be much cheaper than his other holsters; NOT! This guy is selling water buffalo at almost 2/3 over the cost of good grain leather. I buy a lot of large knives from Nepal and other foreign places and the scabbard is almost always made of water buffalo my Kukri knives from Nepal hold up okay if you take care of them; but, shouldn't cost nowhere near what this guy was trying to sell them for; he was selling them as exotic material holsters and charging crazy prices that were much over the prices of his nicer grain or and even mid-grain leather. I think that this guy may be under the expectation that a lot of people will see water buffalo hide as exotic and not know the quality of water buffallo. Selling the holsters as an exotic material for holsters. He even mentions this on his site a couple times; but, looking at his site it hasn't been updated in almost 10 years. I usually buy 2 extra scabbards (or a water buffalo horn for my nicer more expensive Kukris) I buy 2 hide holsters because water buffalo hide just don't do well in the cold weather like a good thick grain hide or being wet and left in the sun too many times, along with the way I abuse them tracking through the areas in the Alaskan Mountian ranges that I like to hike to get to those secret fishing spots that aren't packed with people like it's WalMart Black Friday. So when a holster gets to where it's not safe to carry my 44MAG Henry mares leg; I've already have another one in the safe waiting instead of having to wait for a new scabbard to get to me from Nepal. I usually pay $50-$75 for the nicer and a bit more durable hostlers but sometimes the shipping can take a month plus.

[@randycrockett4697]

my Rossi M92 shoots about 8 inches high and 5 inches left at 25 yards. The iron buckhorn sights are adjusted all of the way down. It still shoots high left. Several experienced shooters tried to adjust it and they think it is a manufacturer's defect. It has the octagon barrel. I love to shoot it but it sucks having to aim down and right to hit the target. Do you have any suggestions?

[@GunAndShotTV]

I personally had point of aim issues until I realized you have to hold the front bead in the middle of the buckhorns and pretend they are a ghost ring with the top cut off. That may be your elevation issue, for the shooting left issue you may be able to adjust by drifting the rear sight in the dovetail. If that won't get you close inspect the gun for defects, is the crown damaged, is the barrel visibly bent, is the sight dovetail cut at an angle?

[@randycrockett4697]

Gun&ShotTV the windage issue is not a problem. It can be adjusted. The elevation is the problem. I have only had it out 3 times it is almost new. There is no damage. I let a couple friends (very experienced guys who are long time hunters) have at it and both told me the problem is that the sights cannot be adjusted to shoot any lower. I have tried putting the bead in the middle of the buckhorn sight and that makes it shoot even higher. I would hate to do it but I might need to put on some optics. The whole point was I wanted to use the iron sights.

[@GunAndShotTV]

Randy Crockett I'm not sure what the issue could be as once I did a bit of research and found out how the sight picture on buckhorns works I've been very happy with my R92. I'd call rossi if you're still having issues they may have different sights available. For anyone who isn't sure exactly what alignment I'm referring to please look at position A. in this picture. imgur.com/L0AmbP2 Remember that buckhorns are not a scope and were meant for quick rough target acquisition. If you need tiny groups look into an aftermarket peep sight.

[@Snowman9K]

Stevesgunz sells different sights for the 92 to correct this problem. He says it's common.

[@highwayhokie]

Gun&ShotTV I took it back to the gun shop where I bought it. They sent it to Rossi and Rossi replaced the sight. It was the wrong sight. I haven't had it back out yet.

I replaced the plastic follower in the magazine tube with a brass follower and did a polishing job on the trigger group that made it smooth as butter. Nothing about it is disappointing but I worked with it for about 3 hours to get it where I wanted it that should have been done at the factory but they would have added another $300 to the purchase price to make it that smooth. It's beautiful carbine with deep dark bluing and beautiful wood on the stock and forend. I knew it would be some work from watching the youtube videos but I like tinkering so I looked at it as a fun challenge. I love the thing.

@@dougpoulton5544 lol sorry about that I totally misunderstood your first comment. Ya I agree they are an amazing way to go for people who don't mind some work or just that they like to tinker and put work into their own guns either as a project, hobby, etc, And also give the gun some personality.

[@christopherharbour7281]

Doug Poulton. Is there anyway you could quantify how much you shortened the three springs?

[@oklahomacrabber]

Nice! Thanks

Consumer: "Rossi, you've manufactured a firearm. You machined and assembled a group of components but they perform in an unsatisfying manner. Any chance you could add the fifty cent Harbor Freight spring while the rifle is being made?" Rossi: "Nope *you* need to do it. And if you don't want to go the Harbor Freight spring route, you could always buy one of the kits and/or DVDs, or....send the rifle to a specialist and have them do it. It's important to remember that getting our product to function properly is your responsibility. Thank you for falling for it. As all of the helpful videos demonstrate, it isn't rocket science. We could do it....we've made the conscious decision to opt out."

[@johnwayne7476]

In there defense, compare the prices of Rossi and Winchester. I don’t mind slicking up my own rifles. I have had some carbines that others couldn’t live without once they worked the action. They will pay more than the price of a new one . ( They think I got it that way and it’s a special piece that wasn’t intended for the market/ or whatever?) I don’t say more than necessary when someone is falling in love ;-). Emotional impulse buying can be your friend at times. Don’t lie! Just be indifferent and don’t elaborate . ( act clueless) . Act like you don’t want to part with it. Let them make a offer. Mention western movies without including the name . And my favorite ole time actor was James or Jimmy Stewards? Or Stewoords ? Something like that . I haven’t watched those old movies in decades. . ;-)

Could you use an empty round instead of a live round. Is this the same procedure for a winchester model 92??

[@BlackKnight-ll8qh]

NEVER USE LIVE AMMUNITION WHEN WORKING ON GUNS!!

[@kearneydillon4803]

When the camera is more than 2 ft away from the gun, you really need a spotlight to see the gun well. Black on black. You also need to be aware of the camera angle as your hands and forearm obscured the view of the assembly a lot. Informative video though. These mistakes are common among most how-to videos.

[@MasterToan]

Good gosh man. I'm glad you got your gun working and I appreciate you making this well documented thorough video. But why would someone buy a gun they had to completely dismantle, buy substitute parts for and then fix to make it usable? Taurus screwed the pooch on the 92. KZbin is littered with Rossi 92 failures and work-arounds. Get a made in America Henry. Buy once, cry once. The cheapest isn't necessarily the most economical.

[@GunAndShotTV]

Henry makes nice guns, but their big boy line looks a bit wonky to me. I wanted a Winchester 1892 and couldn't justify the price a vintage one would bring. Winchester's are very sturdy guns but generally are a bit rough when new no matter who makes them. Over time they break in but I wanted to speed up the process. I'm sure 1892 in .25-20 that has been handed down my wife's family was a bit tight when it was made in 1895 but in 120 years of use it has broken in to be butter smooth. It worked fine out of the box, the spring change just allowed for a lighter lever and the ability to feed more profiles of .357

[@imbadwrench]

Taurus made a really inexpensive copy of a really good gun. I expect all clones to be this rough and unfinished and i thank god that someone is still making something like this for people who could not afford to buy a winchester let alone be able to modify it after spending that much money. If you expect something to work flawlessly without any breakin or action work, buy a modern firearm design.

[@JWheeler331]

MasterToan The gun works. I have 5 Rossi 92s and all worked right out of the box. I slicked up some and some I never have. All factory guns can be enhanced a little some way or another.

[@krossF]

very true, the long tube of gayness is what turned me away from henrys.

[@daveufirst]

Because not every Rossi needs this attention. If one would just sit down with one and work the action repeatedly for a while. Most guns benefit from some tweaking.

[@newchannelwtfwhy]

Who else here came bc of rounds jammed in my action

[@khester7397]

Lever guns are picky about ammo. Some more than others, but all are to a degree. Bullet profile, overall length and degree of crimp are some of the major considerations.

[@thedowntrodden1522]

I use high temp bearing grease on my AK-47 I just picked up my first lever action can I use the high temp bearing grease or do I need to go get the one you use and what is the name of the one you used

[@GunAndShotTV]

You can probably use just about any grease you want in a lever action as it just needs to lubricate. I have had great luck with Moly-Lithium but have also used bearing grease. The one I use is Super Tech Moly Grease, 14 oz for $3 at walmart. I found it does seem to smooth out lever actions more than the red high temp in my guns but if i had to guess it's because the Hi-temp is thicker than the moly until it gets hot and thins out which doesn't really happen in a lever gun.

[@thedowntrodden1522]

k ty ill just grab a tube

[@johnwayne7476]

You may want to research polishing compounds and invest in a drumming tool ( or similar) as well. Also watch a video about ( seating valves in automobile head of engine) . If you have any Stainless firearms like revolvers , polishing them can ( in some cases) make them more desirable! A polishing job can most times cause your Revolver to command a premium! Especially when someone sees their reflection in one . It’s a art all of its own . CARFUL!!! As some older guns should not be polished, especially collectors pieces! The ( patina) from age and use should be preserved. Polishing a antique can take away from the value. Good luck ! Slick that sucker up ! It’s almost as fast as a simi auto. ( maybe faster) .

NIce vide, but it's too dark and not detailed enough for noobs like myself and many others. Too many little parts for us that may not understand it.

[@GunAndShotTV]

+filoIII You may want to watch a few other videos and work with more gun assemblies but it really is pretty simple and you should be able to do it yourself. Even if you screw up a smith can get it back together when he inspects it before you shoot it as I recommend before shooting anything you have modified yourself.
