You are the man!rondog wrote:Thanks! I hope they help someone.
Happy to help! Be sure the stop swings over far enough to catch the .38 rims (video 3). And FWIW, Steve's Gunz answered my email, saying that his next step would also be filing more clearance on the stop, so that it swings over far enough. That made me feel good!alphalimafoxtrot wrote:You are the man!rondog wrote:Thanks! I hope they help someone.
I discovered that all along, what I thought was cartridge guides were needing to be shimmed, was wrong. My cartridge stop spring isn't installed correctly - it isn't doing anything!
Of course, I discovered this upon inspection at the range today, when I took my new/old Marlin .35 out as well.
The Rossi 92 feeds .357 no problem, just can't stand the .38's. Now, to tear it apart and get it running right!
I very much appreciate this tech video tutorial series. Thanks!

Great that you were able to diagnose and correct the feeding problem. My M92 has some 38SPL feeding hang ups. and even some 357 when the bullet is smaller (130 vs 158 grain). I end up removing the tube spring to relieve the pressure on the jammed cartridge so I can get it out. I can see on mine that the cartridge stop is not moving very far. I'm new here so forgive my ignorance, but is there a video someone here can point me to that shows how to properly get that cartridge guide out so it can be modified to let the cartridge stop lever swing in farther?rondog wrote:WOO HOO!

Well, the bullet/cartridge guide itself is only held in by one screw, but you pretty much have to take most of the rifle apart to get it out. Once you have the guide out, there's a small pin that has to be gently driven out with a very small punch in order to separate the cartridge stop itself from the guide.Conformist wrote:Great that you were able to diagnose and correct the feeding problem.

Yeah, I should have thought about youtube before. I'll it a look-see.

Then it's just a matter of a small amount of careful filing on the bevels of either the stop flapper or the bullet guide, whichever you want to work on. I'd take it slow and check your work frequently, to make sure you don't take off too much and make the stop swing over TOO far.
Forgot to mention - search on YouTube for videos on working on Rossi 92's, there's quite a few videos that tell how to take them apart and reassemble them, as well as tune them up.
