Go West Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 I never see any posts about the extractor on a Rossi .38/.357 chewing up the rims. I'm talking about the outer edges which have gotten noticeable running dummies. Do you smooth the leading edges to reduce or just not worry about? My '73 doesn't do this, but understand the action is completely different. That one does have a smoothed extractor leading edge.
Go West Posted June 14, 2020 Author Posted June 14, 2020 I didn't see any metal-toothed "Jaws" rodents, but who knows? Do I dare round the corners of the extractor or thin the spring more to reduce the pressure snapping over the rim?

Are these brass dummy rounds made from actual cartridges or A-zoom aluminum dummy rounds?

Advice: Be careful about filing or polishing, or otherwise removain’t any metal unless you know, or have some definitive answer as to what the problem is and how to correct it. In the mean time, you may wish to consider that the “problem” apparently becomes noticeable only when you repetitively cycle dummy “practice” rounds through your gun. I.e., the issue isn’t problematic when you are normally shooting, so it isn’t really a “P1” problem. Therefore, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” unless you know for sure exactly what is causing the problem and how to fix it. I believe you are thinking about putting a file only to replaceable parts, but, Per OLG: “You can take metal off, but you can’t put it back on.”) Cat Brules
Sedalia Dave Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 Contact Nate Kiowa Jones. He has forgotten more about the Rossi 92 that most of us will ever know. Steve's Gunz
Go West Posted June 15, 2020 Author Posted June 15, 2020 Yes, they are dummies made from cartridges. Maybe I have too much time on my hands being shut in due to the virus.
