Basically a desert eagle carbine. View Quote That’s what Ron did. I haven’t seen him post in a few years though. He’d sleeve DE mags into straight body 20s to use as an adapter. Uppers were $1000 or so back then. |

My father had an original 1892 in 44-40. It was an early model with a 4 digit serial number. It was used in the settling of central Utah. It was in about the shape you think a pioneer rifle would be in. But still functional. The action was very smooth. With almost a hundred years of use. My little brother got it when Dad passed and I got the 1940’s 30-30. Which I have given to my son. But I really liked the old 44-40. So I found a Rossi someone had for sale in 38-357, and bought it. It’s a fun little gun as it was owned by someone that did a little CAS with it. So it’s a little smoother than an out of box model. And the bolt safety was removed. Over the last few years I’ve really wanted an 1873 in 38-357. I finally got mine this weekend. A carbine version Uberti. I really like it and it shoots pretty accurate. It even has a flip up long range rear sight. I shot both 357 and 38 through it. The flip up sight is calibrated to 357. So you just about go up another hundred when shooting 38 over a hundred yards. Yeah you’re likely not going to kill anything under 200yds but it’s fun to test the reach. Which was about 300. for where we were shooting. The downside to the Uberti is the horrendous 10# trigger pull.
In comparison the two are both fairly accurate to 100 yards. The 1873 flip up sight gives it an advantage over the Rossi in longer distances. The fit and finish of the guns are night and day. Hands down the Uberti wins in this department. But the weird thing about both rifles are that neither one has a consistent finish. The Rossi has a case hardened receiver but everything else is blued. The Uberti has a blued finish but the Lever and trigger are case hardened. I don’t get that. Not sure if that was a thing in the 1800’s, or just being lazy with the new production stuff? Bottom line, pistol cartridge rifles can be fun to shoot. Hopefully I can get the trigger pull issue figured out with a lighter hammer spring on the 1873. |

I have a fix I want to try but I have been too cheap to order a pack of heat treated carbon steel shim stock in small sheets. Shortening the magazine spring is popular. I have not tried that and won't unless I have a spare spring on hand. There are several excellent YouTube videos that walk through disassembly and the light rework. The key is to barely touch the parts with stones, no rotary tools, and no high polish until you know what you're doing. You're looking to smooth the action, and that will follow by just kissing the rough surfaces and removing burrs. Look at the assembly from every angle and direction after the stocks are off. Look at every part the same way and understand the mechanism function as you go. Or, send the gun down the road and buy a Ruger. |

Any of you clowns bought a G-Force Huckleberry in 357? I've watched a few of the YouTube videos, but I'm curious if anybody also owns a Rossi R92 and has some longer term experience for comparison?

I can't in good conscious send it down the road to make it someone else's problem. |
