Transplanted Texan

Post by kevindsingleton »

Howdy! I moved to Pennsylvania about eight years ago, and I'm still trying to adjust to real winter weather, and summers that never quite get warm enough.

I have a Rossi 92 in .44 mag that I'm trying to slick up for general use, including deer hunting and as a tractor gun.

I hope we can get some good conversations going, here, and make this the premier Rossi forum on the web!

Welcome kevindsingleton! That is my hope, that this forum gathers those truly interested in working with the Rossi lineup and making their knowledge available to others. The facts from fiction.

A multi-phase process that starts at the gun shop with the Rossi Quality Control Team - YOU ! :mrgreen:
I'm real picky & choosy at the store and make sure I check the guns out before the plastic or cash hits the counter.
Next step is a complete stripping a cleaning with dechlorinated brake parts cleaner to purge any rust, dirt, grit, cosmoline, machining cuttings out of the action, ,mag tube & barrel........a not uncommon scenario with new Rossis.
Usually the Rossi gunk is superficial & there is no permanent pitting or corrosion in evidence after the clean up.
Then I take a 3 sided file and a small polishing stone on the end of an electric drill & polish off any burrs and rough spots.
This is a good time to implement the Rossi 92 slick up kit you bought from Steve's Gunz of Texas (excellent).
Then another cleaning & complete muzzle crown to butt plate lube job with Remoil or a similar product.
Then 50-100 action cycles and you'll have a smooth as silk Rossi levergun on your hands.
