Model 92 Deluxe
Picked up this 92 deluxe last year, nice wood on it and a good shooter.
Whoops it`s a Browning 44 mag.

The Browning 92s as show in the pics on this thread are a beautiful rifle but unfortunately are no longer made.
The commercial agglomeration that now calls itself Winchester Repeating Arms now markets imperfect clones of the original legacy lever action rifles including the 1886, 1892 & 1894 for about $1500 a pop that are made in "upstate Japan".
I still consider Winchester lever action rifles not made in the New Haven factory clones even if they are made by a company that calls itself Winchester.......but that's just traditionalist old me.
I own 3 "pre-Braztec" Rossi model 92 clones without the silly lawyer safety switches that are on the new Braztec guns that are all good shooters in 357 Mag, 44 Mag & .454 Casull & they look more like the original Winchester 92s than the new Winchester 92s do with their cross bolt & tang safeties.
I paid an average of $500 each for my Rossi guns & they shot & functioned like a dream right out of the box & I'll bet that even for a $1000 difference per gun the dead on the ground bucks I harvested with my Rossi guns didn't know the guns that killed them weren't originals.
A couple of my friends told me that I got lucky and beat the odds by getting 3 good Rossis.
When I bought the Rossis I didn't know I wasn't supposed to like them.
Unfortunately I don't usually go with the flow & assess a gun or gun maker by anecdotal gossip but rather based on several thorough hands on trials by shooting at the range.
I wouldn't part with any of my Rossi 92s.

Subjects that have been cussed (not literally as we limit ourselves to only polite disagreements) and discussed at length. The new "japchesters" are being made in the same plant as the old "brownchesters", with exception of the mdl 94AE. That I understand is new machinery.
And, IME, you did get lucky with 3 outta 3 good Rossis. Mindya, my 3 worked, but they were neither slick, nor were they ready for a wide variety in ammo. A little trial & error and sweat equity has them now operating "...like a dream!"

"Howdy" to you too.
I did indeed luck out on those Rossis.
I should have bought a lottery ticket at the same time while the lucky streak was still running & maybe then I could afford one of the new Winny legacy lever actions advertised on their website. I like the quality Winny checkering on the real walnut stock but that doesn't put meat on the ground or holes in the 10-ring just a lot more dollars on the hefty price tag.
A friend of mine complained about crumpled cases in an early Rossi .44-40 model 92 but Rossi has bought new machinery & pulled up their socks since those early days.
The Rossis may have a rep for being rough out of the box but I don't see any of the hotshots from Marlin, the new Winchester, Henry, Chiappa, Uberti, Pedersoli or Browning having the parts to market 92 clones in .454 Casull or .480 Ruger. I could be wrong but I don't see anyone elses guns out there on the shelves in the 2 "hand cannon" calibers I just mentioned.
I've fired 500+ full power .454 rounds out of my Rossi .454 & it's still "blueprint" (nothings moved) & I much prefer the Marlin 39A style push rod & loading slot in the magazine tube charging capability over laboriously loading every cartridge through the receiver loading port..........that's not Rossi rough.........that's called Rossi ROUGH & READY.
The rich satiny blue on my Rossis is as good as that on my old Belgium Browning BLR & that's saying something.

Re: Model 92 Deluxe
What`s the difference between the Rossi action and the Browning, my Rossie rifle will cycle my cast elmer Keith style bullets and the Browning won`t, too long.
Is it because ones the carbine and ones the rifle ????

I have one too. The loading gate broke on mine. I was able to get one, but that was close to 30 years ago. The brownings is just one pieace, not two pieces like the original winchester.

Pitchy The carrier has a shell stop at the back, I had cut one back for a original 92 for the 218 Bee with a hack saw and a wood chisel about .060" it was soft as butter. You might ask Nate Jones about your rifle. Gary

Would you consider the .454 Casull and the .480 Ruger "hand cannons" to be in the same league? I thought that the .454 Casull was a bigger beast than the .480 Ruger (in terms of performance and working pressure).

I'll drop my family off at your place after I buy one of Doug Turnbulls fine looking guns because I won't be able to feed them for a month or two after I pony up the $1750 for the gun.

Really though-- If you are looking at a 'new' winchester for several hundred dollars more you can buy it from Turnbull with the upgrades done. I'll probably buy a 71 from them this year after they upgrade them.
