Doesn't that polypropylene and polystyrene melt and foul the bore? I know plastic sabots on MLs will and you have to use solvent to remove it. Yes, For black powder loads aren't as bad as smokeless. The BP fouling helps prevent the plastic from sticking just like it helps prevent leading. Another s...

Dont know how Chaparral does it, but the original Winchester magazine rings werent a normal dovetail, they were a rotary dovetail which isnt possible to hand cut I dont think.

Just wondering if anyone has had issues, especially with the various Model 92s. I just watched my Steve's Gunz 92 video and he warns that some 92s can be fiddly in this regard.

The Marlin 1894 or WInchester 1892 should handle anything any handgun can. I use the same +P+ ammo in my Redhawk and 92 and have been for years. Some clarification please. If you are talking just 45lc handguns I tend to agree. But, if that is a blanket statement, the marlin will NOT handle 454 casu...

And there was actually an idiot congressman on Fox news that wants these banned. He thinks it is the perfect tool for a mass murderer.

For one thing the 32's are one of those calibers that are inherently accurate. I am currently using a 123 year old Win 92 in 32-20 for the NRA's Pistol cal lever action silhouette game. Reloading for 32-20 I lose about 3% brass. The 357/38 guns are popular but the 32's tend to shoot a bit flatter. F...

Ok that answers my questions, but now why is Henry taking SO long!?... I would still like to hear shooting results whenever you guys get a chance. This is a back burner gun for me...

I just this week received two of the big boys in 327 RM. This is the brass like receiver version with the 20" octagon barrel. I haven't had time to even shoot it. But, the plan is to see if I can work up a load to be used for the NRA pistol cal. Leveraction Silhouette game. This gun is really f...

What a beauty. I too have a soft spot for the old hammer doubles. Which side wouldn't stay cocked. The reason I ask is I have seen several over the years like that and most were on the left side.

OK, The thing to keep in mind is these modern straight wall pistol caliber ammo leverguns (all, not just the 92’s) are a lot like semi-auto handguns. There’s just some ammo they aren’t going to work well with. All leveraction, pump action and semi-auto guns (long guns or handguns) are ammo length an...

For this picture I put on my cheaters and got out the magnifying glass. "I think" the rifle leaning on the chair to the left of the 3 SRC's is a Marlin. There is the tell tale hump on the bottom of the receiver for the lever pivot, and the rear of the receiver where the hammer is doesn't ...

Henry is now making a rifle in .327 Magnum. It uses the same 115 grain bullet as the .32-20 at 200 to 400 fps higher velocities, though with much higher pressures. PillHer has a Ruger SP101 in that caliber and it is very accurate at 25 yards for her. I load it to around 1200 fps. Have they made it ...

Nate Kiowa Jones

M.M., that is one option. It would just be nice to have new-made 92s plentiful and priced around $500. That would be a Rossi. Unfortunately it's not offered in 25 or 32. I'm a big fan of the 32-20's. I have several rifles but a decent shooter carbine is hard to come by. So, years ago I took a Rossi...

If the Italians and the Brazilians ever get their Model 92 production sorted out again, I surely do wish one or t'other would build a 92 in .25-20.

The early Rossi's up to about 2000 did have over-sized rear dovetails, about .400". The front sights were mounted on the barrel band, not the barrel. To the op. Probably not the gunsmiths fault. The current Rossi's have standard 3/8X60 degree dovetail cuts but they don't spend a lot of time fit...
