- I finally went shooting and I can say that the Rossi R92 is a good buy and worth the money. Thank you to the folks over at Henry Repeating Arms for the gear that was sent to me for a special milestone in my life. I appreciate that. I can wear the gear while enjoying my fine Henry rifle. I must also mention that although I did not get any footage of the Rossi being fired because I wanted to pay attention to safety. With that being said everyone was very safe and we had a good time. Cant wait to go back.
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.
This man has summed it up. I don't have as many rounds through mine as you nor have I ever hunted but I believe every word of your testimony. Thanks Ken!
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.
@@hardball107 that's quality.
I like you have the 20" Rossi 92 38/357 and I really love it. I carry mine in a scabbard on my Polaris Ranger to handle wild hogs and coyotes here in South East Georgia and it handles them nicely.
And I'm sure it never fails you. Sure would like to see a video of it. Thanks for watching!
Just got a R92 44 mag; and it is perfect in all regards. Fit of wood to metal, bluing, and the wood is the most beautiful I have ever seen on any rifle !!!! Just gorgeous. Citadel is doing a fantastic job on these. Original thought was a truck gun; have to rethink that; as she is just too nice to bounce around in a pickup.
I've had my 92 for about 7 years now....357 magnum with 16" barrel...got a mountain lion at 300 yards open sight...and plenty of other animals. Definitely my number one bush gun
Thanks for sharing and watching!
I’ve got one in 357, 30-30, 22, and 44 mag...one of my all time favorite guns
You're ready!
Purchased a rossi .357 16 inch 92 bout 8 mouths ago. Love it, I actually shoot it better than my Ruger pc carbine. My first rifle was a winchester 94 wrangler 30-30 back in 1985. The Rossi stacks up very well with the winchester 94. SWEET RIFLE.
If you shoot a video of it let me know so I can watch. Thanks for watching!
Got a Rossi 92 rifle in .45 Colt, 24” 1/2 octagon, 1/2 round barrel. Had it for a number of years, got it from a dealer in KS for $325. Very nice, great shooting gun.
Sounds like a deal!
I got a M92 last month and I’ve had a beautiful rear peep sight and front fiber optic put on it. The action came smoother than buttered snot. Amazing.
Now that's smooth.
What peep sight do you have on yours? I recently picked 1 up with a Lyman #66 (I think). Haven't dired it yet, but the aperture seems a touch too small for me. I can't find any replacement apertures in Igloo land...
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. Thanks for the video sir!
You are very welcome. Let us all see it on a video. I'll definitely watch it and subscribe to your channel. Thanks for watching!
I picked up one at Turners a few months ago. LOVE IT! Added a scope rail, and a red dot. I want the 44Mag R92 now!
Coo, let's see a video of it. Thanks for watching!
Yes, the stainless .44 Mag is a great rifle, especially the 20inch round barrel, which is light and nimble. My favorite levergun and do-all carbine.
@@jmpoulsen1 Very much so a do all piece.
Mine is a 20 inch 45 Colt. It can be a beast or a lamb if you reload. This was my first 92 action, and I'm in love. It's slick as can be and accurate to boot.
We are a 92 action community! Thx for watching!
Had one 40 years ago in .357 but sold it a few years later. Bought another one 10 years ago in .45 LC. Won't let this one go!
I hear that. Thanks for watching!
I over paid for one here lately, but when i shot it the performance and enjoyability of it helped heal the pain. Paid 1k fir old new stock never been shot. Is what it is. Wait, or pony up and get what you want when you actually see it
I gotta say that you did what you had to do. As long as you enjoy it no big deal.
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.
Good story. Thx for watching!
That is really nice of Henry rep. to do.
Exactly it sure was nice of them. Thanks for watching!
Great fit review for me, I have a lot of Henry’s in brass or steel in multiple calibers. They are great guns, but they are heavy and seem almost decorative they are so pretty. I picked up 2 Rossi 92s and once I worked them in and polished them up, they fit right in the utility/user category where I don’t mind shooting them or letting them bounce around in the truck.
RIGHT! So to me that means you get it. Its not the prettiest, fanciest, or most valuable but utility, as you mentioned is where it shines.
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.
Reading your story, I felt like I was watching "The Rifleman"", one of my favorite shows. That needs to be a video! Good information. Thanks for watching!
I bought one in .44mag... got it $100 off retail simply because the mag tube guide got stuck half way down. It was the screw....it had a super small dent so the guide got stuck...got a brass one and filed it down till it slide freely. This thing is sweet. The 92 in any caliber is def worth the money.
Let's see a video of it!
@@99Fabrication i got a couple of vids of it on my channel... they're not great but i try
@@thisguysnameismatt4460 I'll check you out. It doesn't have to be Hollywood level. We just like the content right? It's all in fun!
99, Got mine in 16" SS. Upgraded to the stainless saddle ring and the Rossi OEM large loop. Was the first 357 I have had in a long time (since I left Waco) so now I am looking at the new 2022 Colt Pythons in ss and 3" Installed the ring and loop with no problem. Just seems to be right.
Love it, I also have two side gate all weather large loop Henry's. One in 45-70 and the other in 44 Rem Mag. Love them and love your vid here and good to see others enjoying lever guns. I don't think they will ever be outta style. Also, I agree completely with keeping the rifles shootable but taken care of and clean so you can pass them to your kids. Bless your family. //ji John in Oregon
Thank you for the kind words. Enjoy your rifles and thanks for watching!
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'm glad you got your hands on one. Did you know that I have a rifle sling giveaway coming up? Check out my rifle sling giveaway video. I'm giving away a nice custom sling like the one i have for a random viewer at 200 views. Take a chance, subscribe. I'll do another video on the actual sling when it gets here. Thanks for watching!
By the way, if you shoot a video of it let me know so I can check it out. More people like this rifle alot more than I thought. This is almost a sub culture!
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.
@@gabbyhayes1568 that would be a good one to shoot. How about a video of that beauty!
@@gabbyhayes1568 I bet, That 24 is probably very accurate far out.
I agree with you,I have the R92 in both 357/38 and 44 mag. Both great guns. I also picked up a 44 mag. In a ranch hand.
I'd like to see a video on that. Thx for watching!
Just got the 20 inch .454 Casull in ss, action is like butter and cycles .45 Colt like a dream, can't wait to take her out
Let us see a video of it!
Thanks for watching!
@@99Fabrication plan on shooting it soon, hopefully I can get some .454 by then, i can't find primers to save my life to reload my brass, all I got is some fiocchi cowboy loads at the moment
Your Rossi R92 is identical to mine. I have the R92 with the 20" barrel as well and love it! Purchased my R92 about 5 years ago.
Time to break it out and shoot a video of it!
Mine has a nice hexagonal barrel and a stained receiver.
2 years later and it’s one of the lever guns you can find everywhere
So you've seen lots of them out there? What price are they going for?
I have 2 Henrys and jus bought my R92 20" awaiting to arrive to FFL. Also have a beautiful Marlin M60 .30.30....I love my high powers and wifey jus bought me a Winchester 26 gun safe!! Merry Xmas to meeeeee!
That's good stuff! Make a video! Oh and click on my sling give away video. I'm giving away a rifle sling on Sunday to a lucky subscriber. Not many entries yet. You could win.
The folks at Henry seem like they are first class.
I would agree. Thank you for watching!
Uncle Browning gets all credit, the model 92s are amazing!
Yeah, Henry is a good company. They send me things now and then. I tell them when I need new decals for my Jeep and they send them.
He was very talented. The 92's are my favorite. I'm already thinking about my next auction purchase. Thanks for watching!
@@99Fabrication I have to admit, you have me looking for another one as well. It seems I just can't have too many.
@@SALTYCOMBATDIVER-ExInstructor Dont blame me for the credit card swipes, hahaha!!!
Love Henry Arms! Certainly makes me want to be a customer!
I say save your nickels and dimes and be a customer for Christmas! Unless you got the cash under the mattress, be a customer now!😆
@@99FabricationI just LOVE hearing people's enthusiasm for HENRY! I am a "HENRY GIRL" and "Ambassador", with 30+ HENRYS in my collection, since February of 2017! 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! Of course, I especially enjoyed the HENRY part! Glad you had a wonderful experience with them as well!! They really do show a great appreciation for their customers!! You just can't go wrong with HENRY!!!
"MADE IN AMERICA, OR NOT MADE AT ALL"!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
Couldn't find the Rossi for about two full years. Bought a JM Marlin .44 magnum 1894 instead from a friend.
Rossi certainly isn't bad, especially not if you know how to do a slick job. But the difference in fit and finish with the JM Marlin made all the difference in the world.
Yes I like those too!
I just got the new for 2022 grey lamented stock stainless steel big loop 20” .357 haven’t shot it yet but can’t wait it’s a little pricey at $850 msrp is $1050 beautiful rifle fit and finish is excellent go Rossi
Sounds good. I cant wait to see the video of it that you're going to make so we can all see it :)
Brazillian steel has great cost benefit. I want one.
Be sure to let me know when you get it. I want to see your video!
I just got my Rossi 357 gold and black I am very happy with it
Congratulations! We will be eager to see a video of it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video…I’ve been drooling over one at my local shop. It has the short barrel and is done in stainless steel. The action feels silky-smooth. I could not believe how light it is! The Henry is a beauty, and built like a tank, but is also noticeably heavier. The octagon barrel probably has a lot to do with that.
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching, again!
forget the BS youtube negative reviews. just got a 24" R92SS, oct barrel 357/38 and it's amazing accurate and gorgeous and no issues whatsoever. even loads shorter flat nose 38, 1.4 inch or less with no problems or eject issues. and didn't bleed all over the place loading ammo.
Very nice sling.
Thank you and thank you for watching!
Love my Rossi R92.
I understand why!
Thanks for watching!
@@99Fabrication Hi from Sydney Australia,
@@shalininaicker Sydney? Wow! Nice to hear from you. I'm in Southern California. I plan on doing a Rossi for home defense video soon . I want to invite you to stay tooled for that video. Thank you!
@@99Fabrication You guys in the US are so lucky to have your second amendment. Think the Rossi would be great for home defence. You now have a new subscriber.
Picked up a .357 three years ago, had a choice between a Blued steel vs. SS. Took the blued, often wonder if I should have taken the SS but has never missed a beat at the range .38 to .357.
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. Plus, I dont plan to leave mine out in the rain or things like that. I also keep the finish oiled and locked in my safe. I think yours will last if you take care of it. Thanks for watching!
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.
They both have their positives and negatives. Thanks for watching!
I just got a Henry that had a side gate.
@@sifuredmond Now that's a good find! What caliber and finish did you get? That's a subject for a good video. We'd like to see it! Good job.
A friend is selling me one, says it's picky about feeding .38s I've been researching fixes.
Even if it only likes eating .357 I love these little carbines.
The .357 R92 all but dried up in my area.
BTW, earned my sub.
I'd say keep your eyes open for one. Even try gunbroker. Thanks for watching!
@@99Fabrication it's home now!
16" 8 shot. Me and my boys love it. It will feed some .38s. Can't lay hands on .357 yet.
It is sensitive to overall cartridge length, if you use proper reloads in 38 spl cases will perk right along
@@Desperado3248 some .38spl snap caps double feed and so do some .38spl factory loads. The .357 I bought work fine.
I just bought one in 454 casull and i cant wait for it to get here
I can't wait to see the video of it. Thanks for watching!
I ordered a New one years ago=Sweet Shooter But I shot a Blazer 357 Mag Aluminum Casing-when I ejected it ripped the Head off & left Casing stuck in Chamber-took to Gunsmith-he had to make a special Tool to extract it-Don't make My mistake! I pawned it once & guy Sold it=I was furious as now they are Double what I paid!
Wow that hurts! I hope you find another one. Thanks for watching!
I bought one around 25 years ago and have shot it a few times. Mine is in 44mag. and will make a guy start to flinch after a few rounds. But those first 5 shots are dead nutz on the mark.
That's funny, I like that!
Lol!
I got my Rossi this week. Awesome rifle. Got the 357/38. Gotta find a range to sight it in
That's good stuff! So are we going to see a video of it?
Have a Rossi Ranch Hand in .44 mag with a regular butt stock. Ultra short carbine as a camp gun.
Got any videos of it? We'd love to see it. Thanks for watching!
@@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
Rossi and Henry are the only 2 that get the grove diameter for the 44 mag all 3 of my Rossie's are .429 grove diameter and both my Henrys are .429 grove diameter. I used to have 4 Rossie's in 45 colt and sold them due to the oversized chambers. I now have a Henry x model and a Uberti 1873 in 45 colt neither one has an oversized chamber. I still have 4 Rossie 357's and 2 454 Casull all they need is a new ejector spring and 2 coils cut off the main spring then shorten the mag spring about 4 inches and they are good to go. I also have a Rossie 45-70 and 30-30.
Sounds like you have a nice collection!
Had one in 44 mag, change the follower out, that factory one is junk
Mine loved the 200 grn Hornady, shot great,zero issues
I hear they make the 92 in 24" octagon barrel 357 and 44, that would be nice 🇺🇸
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!
I got the 20" in 357 from Gunbroker for $647. Great gun!
What did you think of the price vs. the quality?
I have a .357 Magnum Puma M92, 24” octagon blued barrel. Brass receiver, end cap and butt plate. Less than a box of 50 shot since 2008. I have no idea of the value. Shoots great.
You can easily get mid 600's for it these days if it's in good shape.
@@99FabricationIt’s in new condition. Using it to kill hogs from my back porch at 75 yards. Pretty heavy rifle so very little recoil.
@@Buddygold9509 I wish I knew where to hog hunt. I would do just thar. Thanks for watching!
Just picked one up 16 inch stainless 44 mag
Ive been lucky to find two Rossi's this year. My .357/38 at a local shop.
The stainless .44 at Grab a gun. Paid @650 for each. Love them both
That's all love there! You've got the two most desirable calibers. Man, shoot some videos. I'll watch! Thanks for watching!
I have a 480. Ruger variation stainless
I have the mares leg version in .44 mag really like the way it shoots it needs a full stock on it which is illegal because it was considered as a pistol, I guess that means I cannot modify it yeah right.
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.
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.
Very cool
Thank you for watching!
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.
Also, what is that sling you have on yours?
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.
Got the 454 Casull !
Nice! Shoot video of it!
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.
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
@@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.🙂
@@paulbaker5920 can't blame you there. I love my Henry too. Enjoy!
He'll be glad to know that you appreciate the product.
Just got mine in 454 casull
Shoot a video. I'll watch and sub. Thanks for watching!
Nice rifle
🤝
On sale in Australia ATM.
A henry big boy 357 is $929 a R92 triple black is ?$929 yet people refer to the rossi as cheap usa made is most likely better quality but cheap isnt a fair comparison
Quality is not the same but they also have different targeted demographics. The market demand drives the price up for the Rossi. Just my opinion.
i have 3 of them, and will get a 4th....
Do you have videos of them? I'll sub and watch if so.
@@99Fabrication no
Rossi is basically the only affordable budget lever rifle in the market. Marlin, Winchester and Hentry are very expensive. But you pay what get for it.
Very true. I treat it like my tools. There are certain power tools that I use a top brand for but others not so much. Im not going to pay $39 for a single screwdriver no matter what name is on it. Some things dont make sense. I hope my analogy makes sense.
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?
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!
@@99Fabrication Yeah, deer season got me hyped. I’ve never gone hog hunting. We have feral hogs Upstate New York, but it’s illegal to hunt 🙄. I have yet to check out the Winchester project. Will do that as soon as I get home 👍
They don’t make these anymore. They show them online but that’s just a tease. Like a unicorn, Rossi R92’s don’t really exist
Really? I have not looked for one in a long time.
@@99Fabrication I’ve been looking for 8 months and can’t find any 16” carbines or even 20” now
@repetitivemotion I'm staring to hear that more and more now. You might have to go to a new Winchester 1892 . It's the Miroku made Winchester from Japan. It's what the R92 actually copies. I hear that they are beautiful and very well made. Or, if you really wanna get funky with it, get an original old Winchester 1892. Costs alot more but they are out there. Just some options. Check Gunbroker.com. Good luck and thanks for watching!
My local dealer is selling them for $699.00 , that's right up there with Henry and Remington in price . And I'm not paying $700 for a Taurus gun. I know they had to pay for all the new equipment , but that's crazy . You'd have to be desperate to pay that. Peace.
It's your money, your choice and your opinion.
Taurus doesn't make them. I paid a lot less than that 2 years ago, but mine is a gem.
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.
👍
Got mine 2 years ago online at Buds for under $500. 20inch barrel, 10+1 in .357. It was quite stiff but every now and then I worked the action for 10 to 20 minutes and it got smoother with time.
Just had to wait nearly 6 weeks on delivery.
That's a long wait but was worth the wait? Thanks for watching!
I am in Philadelphia and cannot find one anywhere. Where can I get it
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!
I do wanna have one but its very difficult to find one here in the CA , besides the price rocket up as well ! The only down-side of R92 is that there is no rail to mount a scope or a red dot .... Hope the factory will modify it in the near future.
They already have. I believe it's called the R92 triple black. I'm in CA and I'm looking for one now. Thx for watching!
@@99Fabrication You mean the R92 Triple Black features with rails for scope or red dot ?? If so, I do wanna have one ! Do you know the price ??
R92 IS tapped & drilled for ROSSI rail!! You HAVE to remove rear sight!! Check it out!!
i have a rossi mod 92 with oct barrel ,walnut stock, andcase color reciever in 357. love it.never have seen any other ones...Would love to know if anyone knows about them?
I have never heard of one with such a list of custom features as yours. I would assume that it is a customer order and may not have been a production piece. I'm not sure of that just my guess. With that said, I would be proud to have that rifle on the bench at the range. Nice collector piece. Dont sell it! Oh and I would love to see a video of it. Thanks for watching!
What is a good or in your opinion, price ???? Anything that should send up red flags, that I should look out for ???
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!
What barrel length does it come in do u know by chance?
From what I've seen it comes in 16, 20 and 24 inch barrel lengths. Thanks for watching!
what sling/shell slide do you have on that?
That is a custom sling that I have made from a saddlery. I have a few more left if interested. $59 plus shipping in continuous USA. Let me know. Thanks for watching!
I'm interested in the sling
@@tjruss9658 Sure thing. Let me know when you're ready to pull the trigger and then I can give you my PayPal email. Then, give me your address and we can try to get a shipping price and get it out Sturday morning. Actually we can estimate the shipping. It's no big deal. Shouldn't be more than about $12 bucks. Let me know when you're ready.
What sling is that? I just got mine home and have not even shot it yet.
Hey Scotty, I reached out to my sling maker to make sure his contact info is the same. I'm waiting for a reply. I'm also working on getting a discount for the people who view my videos. I'll get back to you.
For custom slings email Ross, rapeterpress¡hotmail.com.
Let Ross know that 99 sent you for special pricing. Thx for watching!
WOW! WAS IT ANTHONY, THE BOSS?
I gotta keep that part to myself. Nice gear huh?
Had one and ended up trading it +cash for a desert eagle. Kinda regret it. (But the desert eagle is fucking incredible lmao)
As long as you're happy with it.
R 92 over the Henry any day of the week.
I'm curious of your reason.
@@99Fabrication aside from the Henry being 2 lbs heavier, I don’t like all the fancy, but the real deal breaker for me is no side loading gate.
@@jackson4861 I hear you. The Henry is more refined rifle but I gotta tell you, they also make a side load gate model now. Very functional but handsome. As long as you have what you like then it's the right one.
So, as long as you have something you like, you're in the game!
@@99Fabrication yeah I have one of the new side gate models too, I’ll take the R 92 any day over the Henry. It’s all just preference, the Henry is a good rifle too.
Nope. I’ll never buy another Rossi product again. I had one blow up in my face. And the people at Rossi Braztec were absolutely horrible about it. I even sent then the rifle to be replaced or refunded. They had the unmitigated nerve to send that dangerous junk back Unrepaired
Avoid Rossi like the plague! They can be just as dangerous
I hear you!
Thx for watching!
henry is a good company
Agreed!
Buy the Henry I had the Rossi and sold it.
Understood. Thanks for watching!
What’s the big deal... go on gun broker and buy as many as you want
It's no big deal right now. 1 year ago that was a different story. If you have one that's good for you. People are still trying to locate the Rossi from the conversations that I have with people for a decent price.
been trying to find one for almost a year now. no luck here on the communist coast.
just got a 20 SS 357 at kygunco for $633 if yr interested
Thanks for the lead and thx for watching!
@@OscarDad would be nice
Rossi is a turd bottom of the barrel rifle and price is a joke want a real rifle get a marlin jm stamped lever gun but look at prices now nobody wanted them years ago now people want stupid money for them. Lol
So what good does it do to look for a Marlin that is so highly priced and can you even find a JM? I have both brands. Both work well. To each his own.
@@99Fabrication I have plenty of Marlin JM rifles in tons of different calibers 12 of them I've bought them all for decent cheap prices over the years first one I got when I was 15 for 250 bucks. All old real country gun shops had lever action rifles nobody wanted them they use to sell them to get a modern bolt action gun I've had people sell me there rifle so they could do just that right after I paid them walked into Gander mtn. Even have some old winchester 94 XTR big bore rifles the 356 and 375. Now everyone wants one sadly too late really I liked stuff before it got way too popular thanks to TH-cam. People know know the old guns you cant buy that quality today in guns so value keeps going up. Finding a cheap lever gun these days are slim pickings just like military surplus your too late to the game to get any deals but they still out there on guns.
@@jakeresnick2669 Like you said, $250 bucks when you were 15 yrs old. Im guessing that youre alot older than that right now. Buying any rifle is difficult right now let alone finding a JM Marlin. You said it yourself that right now its too late and the prices keep going up. By all means, if youre a Marlin guy buy it but if a person is looking for an affordable alternative the Rossi can be just that. Its all up to the buyer. Mine is smooth, accurate and has a better trigger than my Marlin. Thats just my experience. Im not paid by Rossi I just like mine and I share it.
Nice guns brother
Thank you for that and thank you for watching!
I pick them up every time my local store brings one in. It seems my luck ran out on the 4th one, my 45LC. Won't fully pull the cartridge, it jumps off about a quarter inch out and it seems that the lever doesn't fully close. My suspicion is an extractor/ejector issue. Going back for warranty but I love my Rossi's.
So you've got a nice collection!
U think you're right on the diagnosis.
@@99Fabrication I can't resist, especially the 16 inch carbines. Have a 44, 357 and my sickly 45LC. I think I may have to stop buying the blues and start collecting the stainless ones. The tricky part is staying with the 16's or the 20's.
@@99Fabrication I would love to fix it myself but since it's literally 2 weeks old, I'm shipping it back. Keeping my fingers crossed, the wood and finish on it is so nice.
I hope they take good care if you! Keep me posted on that. Customer care is very important and they need to get that right. I'd like to hear how they did.
I have communicated with Anthony a time or two myself. He is just a regular guy.
I like that company and the products. Thanks for watching!
Love the R92 triple black, and awaiting the arrival of 44 mag, 24” stainless octagonal barrel.
Man that is awesome they hooked you up!!!! Great video. Thank you. Sweet shooters ya got. I have a Henry Golden boy cant wait to shoot it when ammo comes back where I can get to shoot more than just a box.
Right! I think that lever action rifles are in my blood now. I'm planning on doing more videos of the Rossi since people love it so much. Thanks for watching!
These arent hard to find!! Braztech models are everwhere!! Find you an Interarms Rossi if you want a nice one with good wood!! I own two interarms models!! Both 16 inch, one standard and one medallion model with large loop and saddle ring!! Both pre safety!!
Then there's hope! Thanks for watching
I did a lot of research in the one o bought about 2015 everyone said it would be great or a pile well I got the pile fit and finish were absolutely GREAT fit was better than my Uberti’s problem was in the action less than 100 rounds cartridges kept getting under the lifter. It went back to Rossi came back 3 weeks later and was absolutely perfect and has remained that way since no problems functions great if you can find one pick it up
I'm glad it worked out. Let's see a video!
Just picked up 2 R2’s in stainless .44mag & .357 mag. Loved the curved buttplate, full barrel band and NO checkering! Preferred the stainless cause I cast my own booooolits and the stainless picks up less fouling.
Ok nice. Waiting for the video of them!
I've got a 20" 357 side gate Henry big boy, awesome gun, just a bit heavy. I've been interested in Rossi's, so found a decent deal for an SS 16" in 45LC and will be picking it up this month. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for watching! I'd like to see a video of that Rossi AND the Henry.
I'm happy for all you guys i bought a 92 in 357 in march of 2022 only had it 2 weeks,,the 1st week it sat,,the 2nd week i shot 9 rounds and noticed the brass was swelling up ,012 at the base sent it back to Rossi to put a new barrel on and the end of june they'll had it for 3 months for repair it shot well no complaints there but repair time is uncalled for,,,i like the 24 inch barrel but i'll never buy anything they make again..,,sent my Browning citori back to Japan and had a set of 410 barrels made to have a 3 barrel set and had it back in 2 months ,,,,,sad Rossi can;t do better i hope you guys will not run into these problems,,and i do like your video we need more people like 99 fabrication online,,
Hey I really appreciate that!. I hate it that it took so long for the repair to come back but I'm glad you're happy with it now. Enjoy it and thanks again!
How's the trigger? I heard they can be really gritty out of the box.
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!
I bought r92 triple black .357 it shoots well. I like it
I want that one. Let's see some video! Thx for watching!
They make them in .41 magnum, my fav caliber. Made in the USA
yes they do. Don't tempt me! haha thx for watching!
