Ahhh... the other answer is because you can't find one. Despite search notifications and "in stock" notifications I have only seen one for sale this year. Two distributors have had my credit card on file and the rifles on order all year, still have not been filled by Rossi. They actually have several hundred on order. I've seen more rifles chambered in 480 Ruger for sale this year, two.

Plenty of 45LC for sale so you do what you got to do to shoot one.

After using this gun A bit with several diferent bullet types. I can find no fault with the rifle. Action tuneing can wait. Don't think it will be needed. I like this thing better every time I pick it up.

I always do the stripping, cleaning & deburring but feel the Steve's Gunz full fledged tune-up is unnecessary except for guns to be run in Cowboy Action Shooting competitions.

Some of the earlier Amadeo Rossi M92 guns were pretty rough around the edges (literally :mrgreen: ) and drill holes but I've been hearing that the 2nd generation Braztech R92 guns are much smoother NIB........don't own one so I don't know.

My Rio Grande is a Braztech and it was fine mechanically NIB but horrible in regards to cleanliness. I stripped and cleaned it & found a couple of small burrs to polish off and a lot of gunk (compacted cosmoline, machining shavings, rust & dirt).

After stripping and reassembling your 92 a few times you gain a thorough knowledge of the inner workings of your gun that is invaluable in planing troubleshooting and fixing strategies.

The Rio Grande 336 near-clone (some differences from the Marlin) is child's play to strip & reassemble in contrast with the 92 which can be an exasperating experience the first time out.

Hunting guns don't need the full tune-up.
