Sweet Jenny- Lynne Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Howdy: building a just for fun rifle and need a large loop lever for a Chiappa copy of 1892 Winchester. Have tried Brownells but only have for the Marlin. Thanks for any help. Regards Dutch Dave Holland Quote
Chili Ron Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Howdy Might contact the factory. That's always a good place to start. OR that nate Kiowa jones feller. He has parts not in the website. Best CR ps also might add WTB or Want To Buy to the heading of your post. Most pards take a post as FOR SALE unless marked otherwise. A fair number of folks try the big loop and some don't like it. Could be one in a box somewhere.....? Edited December 5, 2015 by Chili Ron Quote
Dapper Dynamite Dick Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I just got rid of my Rossi M92 with a large loop lever, I tried it for "B" Western and I was really surprised how it slowed up my rifle handling during a stage. It does look kewl though! Quote
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 You might check with Cimarron (ask for Kirk). When they were selling the Chiappa '92's they had some extra large levers. Quote
Bugsbunnyshooter Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Take a look at steve's gunz he has some for the rossi 92 on his site for sale. Quote
Phiren Smoke GUNFIGHTER Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 While the Rossi and the Chiappa are copies of the same gun parts will probably not interchange, at least not with out considerable fitting. check with Legacy or Taylor's for a replacement. I believe they both import the Chiappa. Hope this helps, Smoke Quote
Tom Bullweed Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 The other option is the original method: have a gunsmith alter the lever that you have. You know that this lever works, and you will not need it if the large loop lever is the forever-lever for this gun. My guess is that this could done for around $100. Quote
Chili Ron Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Howdy, Now that's a decent idea. Have the loop made to your specs. You wont be locked into the huge size most makers decide on. There are several sizes and shapes. Best CR Quote
Jackrabbit Joe #414 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Sweet Jenny Lynne: On my lever action .22 rifle I purchased a large loop lever from Gun parts and had the large loop cut off and welded to the rifle lever which was also cut Hold onto the small lever that the welder cut of if ever want to revert it back. It looks original and works perfectly. Only cost was $5.00 for the small weld job. JRJ Quote
Uncle Ethan # 94321 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Take a look at steve's gunz he has some for the rossi 92 on his site for sale. I resently purchased one from Steve. Our local gunsmith, Curly Bill, still had to do some work on it to get it to work. Quote
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 I was at Cimarron today helping to pull guns for ShotShow. Talked to Kirk and he says they still have the Chiappa big loop levers in the parts bin. Quote
