Rossi R92. BUY IT! If you can find one...

Man I picked up a Rosi 92 in .357 /38sp 2 weeks ago in stainless with the 16 in barrel and it is such a nice looking and easy to handle rifle. Super happy with it.

I have the same rifle and it's a good one. Waited and waited searching for the stainless with the 24" octagon barrel and couldn't find one so I jumped on a 16.5" when one popped up. Month and half later a friend of mine found and bought the 24". If you can get your hands on that 24" they're a real beauty and a great value.

[@hardball107]

I have 2 of them, a 357 Magnum and one in 454 Casull. I love them both, the 357 gets the most rounds for obvious reasons and the 454 over the last 10 years has accounted for 6 deer, no tracking. Fit and finish is excellent, the actions are very smooth and I doubt those that knock these rifles have ever handled them. I have close to 2000 rounds through the 357, it's an absolute tack driver and has digested everything I've fed it, little pea popper 38's to 180 gr. 357's, factory and handloads. Never missed a beat, best deal on the market.

One thing I forgot to mention was that after bringing the R92 home I gave it a good cleaning. I found that the locking bar raceways and the barrel bore was polished !!!! Like a mirror. I’ve never seen that on any other rifle except the Ruger Americans. The Rossi’s are fantastic rifles, I just love them.

Looking through all the YT videos on the R92. Stumbled on your video. Nice video. I just happened to pick up a R92 357 in stainless. I’ve always wanted a 357 carbine. Finally found one, and it just happened to be about as new as a 10 year old rifle could be. Got it as a shooter, so I dissembled it, polished up everything, and cut some of the magazine spring off. Taking off some of the spring has made loading so much easier. It’s honestly my favorite rifle now, something about a PCC lever gun. Now I have to find a 44 mag to go with my Ruger Alaskan.

The mystery individual you are talking at Henry is most likely none other then the company president, Mr. Anthony I. It's ok. He is a surprisingly accessible and attentive man. He helped me locate a hard to find Henry rifle and had them send it to my local retailer. He also sent me camp mugs and outerwear. Amazing attention in this day and age! I also have a .357 Rossi 92. It's a solid gun, but it has had some issues. The lever linkage froze up on one occasion, and the side loading gate came off of its hinge. I had my gunsmith go over it Result: Smooth action, steel magazine follower with reduced spring tension, and removal of that flimsy safety. I'm keeping the Rossi, but if I had to choose one lever gun, it would definitely be the Henry.

I was watching the promo on TV ("HENRY REPEATING ARMS: AMERICA'S RIFLE") on the morning of Christmas Eve 2016, and they provided an email to contact that person (yes, I know who he is!) So I sent an email, just for kicks, and lo and behold, within 3 hours, I got a response!! He asked me for my address and shirt size as he wanted to send me some complimentary items (just for showing an interest in their product!) I received a few "goodies" within a week, and I was THRILLED, to say the least! It was at that very moment that I KNEW I would soon be purchasing my very first HENRY, and I did, and picked it up on February 3, 2017. It was (IS) a Big Boy Silver Deluxe Engraved 44 magnum (model H006SD), 1 of 1,000. I named him "Jake".😊 My chosen name on here comes from my HENRY color case hardened 45-70 (model H010CC), which I fondly named "HENRIK".😃 I have several more HENRYS on my "want" list. But unfortunately I have to "cool it" for this year, as I bought 8 HENRYS in 2022!!! (And they are all worth every dang penny!!!) Thank You for the wonderful video!

I can tell you that, from what I have heard, the stainless finish is more durable and withstands the elements better. But personally, the blued is a classic finish and I like it better.

[@99Fabrication]

[@johnorenick9026]

I own three of these: .357, .45 Colt, .454 Casull. WARNING! Original '92 Winchesters have firing pins longer than the bolt, so hammer all the way down means firing pin resting on primer, and a bump will fire the cartridge. The safety notch in the hammer is fragile, and easily sheared, so that a hard pull on the trigger can force it and fire the rifle from the safety position. I love 'em, but they are dangerous. The way Rossi "fixed" this was to make the firing pins short enough that hammer against frame/bolt didn't mean firing pin against primer. But they couldn't figure out how, or be bothered, to spring load the firing pin to the rear. Tip the muzzle of my .45 Colt down, the firing pin drops into the bolt, and the rifle won't fire. The .357 has enough grunge in the firing pin tunnel to hold it to the rear, unless you let the hammer down against the frame, pushing the pin into the bolt; then the rifle won't fire. I hadn't quite figured that out when I was working on a ranch, 40 years ago, and carrying the Rossi .357, with which I'd taken a few blacktail over the past few years, when I came across a matched pair of Dobermans wearing expensive rolled leather collars and choke chains, somebody's matched pair of guard dogs, that had slipped their leads and gone into business for themselves. They were miles from where they had any business being, and we had lambs and calves and both kinds of kids about. But its a tossup whether I was hunting the dogs or they were hunting me; when I caught up to them, they came for me. Maneuvering to get a better shot through the brush, I'd let the hammer down too far; when the lead dog cleared the brush and gave me a shot, he was 20 yards away. I cocked the hammer, put the Leupold 2x' crosshairs on his shoulder, and pulled the trigger. Click. I knew instantly what I'd done. The fastest way to fix it was to throw the lever and chamber a fresh round; the one I threw away is still there on the forest floor, for all I know. When I found the dog with the sights again he was 20 feet away and coming fast. A Speer 158-grain SJSP at 1860 FPS (old CIP-level load) in through the right shoulder and out the left hip dropped him; I got a bullet into the second dog's belly as he turned to run, followed up, found that one laying across the trail, head up. I shot him carefully through the heart from about 50 yards. I autopsy. The permanent wound channels were nickel to quarter diameter all the way through, and penetration through the first dog was at least 20 inches. My 7mm-08 doesn't do any better than that on blacktail, unless it hits bone (then it makes a mess). I left those dogs. Two days later, all that the coyotes hadn't eaten or dragged off were their spines. And until I can get firing pins long enough to at least be reliable, I've retired my Rossis.

[@99Fabrication]

I would agree. Thank you for watching!

[@Diemerstein]

I have both, the Henry Big Boy is an all brass model with tube loading only. The Henry is without a doubt a better quality rifle through and through. I'm not saying the Rossi is junk, so calm down. The tube loading is not an issue, it's quick and takes no effort, you can can quick loading tube round holders. The side loading gate on the Rossi is a bit tricky at times, anyone with a Rossi knows what I'm talking about, but it does work none the less. To empty a full tube is alo no issue with the Henry, just open the tube and let them slide out, in the Rossi, you have to cycle the action for every round. The Henry is side ejection, mounting an optic is simple, the Rossi is top ejection, so mounting an optic is a bit more of a problem. The Rossi is lighter, much lighter and easier to carry than the Henry, however the weight of the Henry takes the recoil much better when firing +P ammo but it will still tenderize your shoulder.

[@99Fabrication]

Got any videos of it? We'd love to see it. Thanks for watching!

[@fredhinck9685]

@@99Fabrication Sadly, no video. Have a few pics. One comparing it to the Marlin .44 I had. The stock came out of Texas, put a Skinner Ghost ring sight in place of the original. Ordered the DVD and included bits to slick up the action and feed tube follower. I cut the too big loop down by about a third. Made up a wooden form to the size and shape I wanted and tigged it back together. Eliminated the stupid little key lock. With the rubber butt pad, the OAL is 28 1/2 inches. Roll my own so it's fairly economical to shoot. Goes well with my Super Blackhawk. Cheers

[@aethertech]

I picked up a pre 1995 Interarms Rossi Puma 92, and I have to say - there are some QC and fitment issues - wood to metal finish is...not great. That being said, it's a damn fun gun, and it works. The action is pretty smooth. Shoots straight. Loads 357 and 38 sp without problems.

[@aethertech]

Also, what is that sling you have on yours?

[@99Fabrication]

I hear you. I believe that the fitment issues may have gotten better over time. I have no problems with the fitment on mine. To be honest, I dont know if I could find any issues. It just might be that Im not that picky but I dont like buying junk either. Im happy with it.

[@mkshffr4936]

What America needs is an affordable lever action (and maybe a .22 pump that can slam fire). The problem is that the Rossi is now almost as expensive as a Henry.

[@99Fabrication]

Makes sense. It looks like firearm prices overall are stabilizing if not coming down a bit. There is definitely a little more selection than last year.

[@anamerican481]

I hear they make the 92 in 24" octagon barrel 357 and 44, that would be nice 🇺🇸

[@99Fabrication]

I heard the same. It would especially be nice in the .44 mag. The extra weight in the Octa barrel would counter the recoil to make an extra smooth shooting, hard hitting rifle. Hey, thanks for watching!

How's the trigger? I heard they can be really gritty out of the box.

[@99Fabrication]

The trigger on mine feels normal to me. I keep it oiled and clean so there are no problems with it. I've only had it out 3 times but every time I go I trust it even more. Thanks for watching!

[@hillshepherd9444]

What is a good or in your opinion, price ???? Anything that should send up red flags, that I should look out for ???

[@99Fabrication]

Good question! A "good" price, in my non expert opinion would be relative. I paid , if I remember correctly, about $530. I bought it in 2019 and that was considered to full retail or kind of high. Now a days, it would be considered a steal due to the difficulty to locate and scarcity. Remember, if the price feels good to you when you purchase it then it was bought well. These days you have to compete for it. With that being said there's also a stupid level. So, if you ask me, I would give a sliding range of about $500-$650. Anything higher than that I'd probably pass. Things to be aware of? If you purchase new I wouldn't worry much. They are built well. Used? I wouldn't buy it unless I could run a couple of magazines of .38 spec and 357 mag myself through it and in person. As for an online used purchase it would really have to be cheap just to protect my wallet. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

I own two Rossi 92s, both in 44 mag. One is blue(?), The other one is stainless steel. I completely went through the blue one and refinished the furniture, receiver and barrel. I also slicked up the internals. The stainless one I left alone. Both were bought new and are a good value for the money. And they are excellent shooters. But neither one can match my Henry Big Boy Silver, in 44 mag, especially for quality. Henry is a Rolls Royce compared to Rossi's Volkswagen. Both will get the job done but Henry is so much nicer. Say hello to Anthony for me. He is first class. Just like his product.

[@99Fabrication]

As you've seen I own both. But as I show on my channel I am a Volkswagen guy so I'll take that, lol

[@paulbaker5920]

@@99Fabrication Thanks ok. Each to his own. But one quick point about Henry service. When I was having trouble with my original Big Boy I sent it back to the factory 4 times for repairs. I'm sure I caused most of the problems with my tinkering. But, Henry did everything they could to fix the double feeding problem and when they couldn't do it they offered me my choice of a refund or I could pick ANY gun from their catalog to replace my rifle. The $4000 engraved Original Henry was tempting. But I picked the Big Boy Silver and don't regret it. I doubt that Rossi would make that same offer. And I love those coffee cups. Can't tell you how many they sent me.🙂

Honestly, its tough these days. Check Gun Broker.com , Buds Gun Shop.com and you may want to frequent the gun shows in your area. Also, dont shy away from calibers that you didnt plan on having in the Rossi. Be open to .44 mag, 357 mag, etc. That may increase your chances. Thanks for watching!

Long time no say hello! How’s it going brother? I started a new job and haven’t had time for too much extracurricular activities, but now that rifle season is around the corner, I’m mentally preparing myself to use the rifle as is, with open sights for the first time hunting. How have you been? Are you hunting this year? It’s me, your 100th subscriber if you don’t remember me. Have you tinkered with fabricating a front sight hood for our babies?

[@99Fabrication]

Heeeey, I remember you! First off, congrats on the new job. Hope you do well there. As much as I would like to take down a hog I haven't yet. You may not believe me but I've thought about trying that front hood project but I haven't yet. The Winchester project has been forefront lately. It's the Winchester 1892 if you haven't seen the video yet. Actually I can pick up the reciever tomorrow from the gun shop but I'll have to wait until the weekend. It's the actual rifle type that the Rossi is cloned from so that's why I'm excited about it. You and I both like the Rossi so you might also be interested in the Winchester. Good to hear from you bro!

Thinking of trading my Winchester 94 (post 64) in 30-30 for an R92 in 44mag. Is this a worthy trade or should I hang on to the Winchester?

[@99Fabrication]

Im not an expert by any means on the values or performance of these lever guns at all. Im just an enthusiast with a few levers that I like to share with like interested folks. With that being said, they are both very powerful, the 30-30 more so. You would have to consider how you are going to use them. If you hunt deer I would suggest keeping the 30-30. The 44mag can do that too but I believe that the 30-30 is more suitable for that. Personal protection and plinking, I would go for the 44mag. Its probably cheaper to shoot too. If your financial situation permits I would keep them both. Even though the Winchester is a "post" 94, its still a Winchester and is probably a very fine piece. Plus it has lineage. You have choices. IMHO

[@99Fabrication]

Ok, I had to come back and just say. I cant hold back. I would keep my Winchester and buy or save up to buy the 44mag Rossi. I mean its like butter knife or steak knife, BOTH. They both have utility. There, I said it, lol.

[@JDMorris81]

@@99Fabrication Thanks, I suppose you're right. My line of thinking was that since I'm on a limited budget and already own a revolver in 44mag and another rifle in 30-06, I could sell it and get the Rossi to pair with my revolver because as far as I can see comparing the ballistics, the 30-30 and 44mag are pretty much equal up to 100 yards which is the most I would expect anyway in the thick woods of where I live. If I needed longer shots I could always take out the 30-06.

My Rossi from the late 90's has the lifetime guarantee. Stainless, great gun except it wont cycle .357, only .38. You start with a .357 in the hole and the rest .38+P . A factory stamp was made on the back of the barrel before it was installed, right on the feed ramp so the longer casings snag when you try to cycle rounds. Otherwise a good gun but the denial of lever .357 stinks. Great as a .38 gallery gun.
