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!
A multi-phase process that starts at the gun shop with
the Rossi Quality Control Team - YOU ! 
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.
