Steves gunz for info on a complete action job
This
I did my own lever gun action using Steve's video which was great. Quite a bit of info I would not have thought of without it
Well i thought I was getting one. Ha people that have them don't seem to want to part with them
Maybe because the person selling the Rossi in the Classifieds abides by our Rules and won't sell to someone with under 50 posts, and/or is not a Site Supporter?
Just a wild hunch..
thats not what i meant by nobody wanting to sell. I was simply saying there arent alot of used ones floating around for sale. That smart ass attitude is why i dont post in gun forums. But you are a mod so you must know what i meant better than i do.

Buy a Marlin 1894. Far better levergun. '92s are such a PITA to work on and no amount of work will get you a '92 that will outrun a Marlin 1894 that is similarly looked after. An 1866/1873 are also very nice, but not as strong as either the '92 or Marlin 1894. Of course my experience is shooting Cowboy Action Shooting, so your needs may be very different, but when I hear "slicked up '92" it sounds like nails on a chalkboard.
What have you seen from your fellow competitors in terms of lever gun reliability? I'm curious because back in the day when I was having the marlin vs puma 92 debate I did a lot of reading on marlin forums and about the puma 92's. The marlin forums at least at that time were especially plagued with a hit or miss case of the "marlin jam". It seemed to only be with the 44mag for some reason and the 357 mags didn't have the same issue. I was a marlin fanboy at the time and it took a lot to get me to try out the 92, but I read enough about jamming problems with the marlins that I didn't want to take the chance. At the time, I'd already owned a marlin 336W, an 1895, and a 1895G that were all reliable. I still did some research on what was going to be the best lever gun for hunting and honestly I wanted to try out a 92 because I'd already ran enough rounds through marlins, and the 92 has a way of bringing out my inner John Wayne.
