DoctorWho Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Had done the Steve’s Gunz action job on my 92 which is working brilliantly buuuuuuut, I just found a tiny spring on my workbench which could only have come from the Rossi. it’s the same as this little guy in the palo verde kit. Where the heck did this little guy fall out? i don’t want to shoot it again until I know where it’s from and get it back in its place. any help appreciated.

DoctorWho Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 Ok so it’s 58F, the friction stud spring. My stud still has its spring. Was this a spare in the kit my eyes missed, will it forever be a mystery? My only other deduction was it was part of the original safety that I deleted and plugged. Memory is the first thing to go!

Three Foot Johnson Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Carrier stop spring, I think. If not, it's the friction stud spring, as you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sam, SASS #10915 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Looks like the spring behind the stud that holds the lever closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Seriously doubt a safety spring would be part of a performance spring kit. I’m agreeing it’s the stud spring (#46). Maybe this will help? https://www.gunpartscorp.com/gun-manufacturer/winchester/rifles-win/1892-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Is the friction stud present in your lever? If so, can you depress it and feel spring pressure behind it? If you can, then that ain't it, cuz it's there. Next, there is a carrier stop detent pinned into the left side of the lifter with a spring behind it that indexes in two detents in the frame, up and down. Is the retaining pin there, visible in the top of the carrier? Looking into the top of the action, is the carrier stop there (red arrow)? Does the carrier stop have spring pressure behind it so it positively indexes in the detents in the up and down positions as you work the lever? If both of these springs are there, then it didn't come out of your rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 WELL??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorWho Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 14 hours ago, Colorado Coffinmaker said: WELL??? The answer is a little less exciting. The friction stud spring was present, as I knew I didn't take it even apart. Took the carrier apart and the carrier spring is also present. Finally found that the safety did not have any spring involved so my memory wasn't faulty. So lo and behold the answer... The spring kit I ordered apparently came with that little spring and it fell out when I was working on the internals. I never remembered seeing it in the sealed bag and it tumbled out at some point to viciously mock my sanity. Rifle is safe and whole. A whole lot of thanks for helping me sleuth this out. i would rather take everything apart than to second guess safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
