Re: Rossi 92 Carbine goes for a repair.

So I got an email saying from FedEx saying it had been delivered. And by delivered it meant they left it on my door. Good thing it was not, say, a firearm.
Here is a picture of the box and the inside packaging. The carbine is still wrapped; it is the longer wad of brown paper. There is another wad of paper still stuck on the bottom of the box; my arm is not that long and I am too lazy to stick something in it to fish the wad.
and the carbine out of it, orange zip tie still in place:
The handguard seemed to have been replaced as I had applied lineseed oil on the wood. The buttstock was still what I sent. And, let's get into what really matters: they did replace the barrel. Inside it looks brand new. What looks likes a bit of grinding right on the bottom edge of the chamber looks like a ramp:
It looks dirty inside, but they did test it out with 18 rounds of ammo:
After the pictures were taken, I decided to repeat the same test I did where it would not load a single 38 special snap cap. And this time, it loaded fine. I also will note that the lever action felt much smoother/lighter than when I sent to then.
So far so good. I am yet to test fire it but I am feeling quite pleased with the turnaround time, the work done, and how it feels right now.
