Youtu.be points to the same place, it's just a shortened version for use in certain social media applications like Twitter where you're limited in how many characters you can post. Also notice how the longer address has a bunch of ancillary data tacked on the end, where the shortened address has just a few characters.

I got around to getting into my M92 today & the cartridge stop spring was indeed not working. With no tension on the stop I decided to see what's what. The spring was not broken, but it must have popped out of position. No way to see it until the guide was out, but it went back together & is doing its job again.

Thanks to all who have posted youtube videos & links.

in the 3 part video with my Rossi/Puma model 92 in .357 16" i have the 3rd part of the video issue....the spring has tension it just doensnt catch the lip of a 38 special letting them "spill out"....I see there was a fix by filing a new angle into the cartridge catch...I did not want to try to do that myself i think i will have a gun smith do it..he wondered when i explained the issue/procedure if it (file the angle to let the cartridge catch come closer to center)...would in any way "mess up" .357 feeding at the expense of being able to shoot .38 specials...id assume no but i dont know..anyone know?

My thoughts on it also...id like it to do what it is supposed to do(shoot both) but maybe other than plinking it will be mostly .357 anyways.. would just be cool if it did as was intended lol

It's really not that hard to fix. If I can do it, anybody can.

Yep, had the same problem but with .357's. Got to admit that after taking this rifle apart a few times I didn't even know there was a cartridge stop. Mine had too much crud build up to work properly. Amazing what a good clean and oil can do. All good now. Great videos.
Thanks

Hi Ron,
Did I say "all good"? Well, almost but I'm still getting the odd cartridge slip by and jam up the works. Referring to Video #3, How did you adjust the bevel of the hinged stop? Don't suppose you did a Video #4.

Like I said, tapped out the hinge pin, then filed the bevels gently until the stop swung over far enough. Ain't rocket science, I'm very much a shade-tree gunsmiff.....
