Looking at a rossi model 92 for sale in 44 magnum.

'92s don't have sideplates.

What's up with these?

Thanks in advance.

I have never seen a 92 0r a 92 style action with side plates . If you have a link to one I would like to see it , just out of curiosity .

It is MY understanding , could be wrong , the 92 was 1 peice , to make it stronger and simpler to make into differant cal. by the use of differant shell guides and other internal parts .

That's a pretty weird illusion! What you're seeing is the transition from the flat receiver side to the rounded top & bottom and then out to the full receiver width at each end. Get one out of the safe and you'll see what I mean.

Rossi 92's do not have side plates. The receiver is one piece and assembly from the top. That is one of the reasons the 92 action is so much stronger than the others.

 

 

 

 

Yah. The most important thing on that page:

 

Lifetime Repair Policy

You'll need it.

 

Really?

The current Rossi 92's are much better quality than the current Marlins and less money, too.

I agree with Nate on the quality of the new Rossi's verses the new Marlin's. I have had several of the new Rossi 92's

and they have performed flawlessly.

Yup - with Nate too. The Rossi is a good gun out of the box. The one I bought from Outlaw Gambler functioned great out of the box. Deuce Stevens slicked it up some and it runs smoother too. ;)
