Boomstick Bruce Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 When I started CAS, all I wanted was nickel plated or stainless guns. Well money didn't quite get me there so I shot what I had. A Stevens 311, blued Rossi 92 saddle ring carbine and a pair of 5.5" blued 58's with drop in conversion cylinders. First thing I replaced was the pietta Remingtons, I bought a pair of stainless Ubertis which last Christmas I converted with gated Kirst conversions and ejectors. Then I bought a single trigger Stevens 315 but it's not stainless or nickel. Well this year I got myself the rifle I've wanted for Christmas, a Rossi 92 saddle ring carbine in stainless! The seller told me it's one of only 2000 made as a test run in '74. (Anyone know if there is any truth to that claim?) I was born in'74!!! Also, I don't think it was ever fired, when I took it apart to clean it there was what looked like cosmolene caked in it. The lifter doesn't have a single brass mark on it and there was no residue anywhere in the bolt! The metal is beautiful and the wood sheans like tigers eye! Now she just needs a name...

Cibola Al Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Nice. I have a pre safety Rossi 92 in 38/357 that I like very much. I am less enthused about my newer production 92 in 45 colt. For what it's worth we have a Silver Wyandotte we named "HiHo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I wish I had A dream rifle. Seems once I get it, another dream pops up. I’m currently torn between a trapdoor or an 1876 carbine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
