The front sight on the brass colored rifle appears legal. I have no need for one, but if the build quality is as good as the other Turkish guns I've seen and the price is decent, it should make a pretty good entry level gun for SASS or for fans of the 1892 Winchester.

I've seen it on the range from time to time and no one has ever objected. Hmm.. The brass frame one could maybe be the basis for a Hollywierd Henry...

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Take the fiber optic rod out, insert an appropriatly sized brass rod. Bam! Legal. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I didn’t notice the fiber optic sight. That is illegal I’m pretty sure. The rifle looks good otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brimstone Bill Willson Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) Assuming the aluminum receiver will hold up and it will feed 38 specials, it looks like a good entry level CAS rifle. I would get the "brass" one and cerekote the metal a gloss black color. Edited February 8 by Brimstone Bill Willson I made it better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeaconKC Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I emailed them asking about the mounting of the front sight and how easy it would be to swap out. I kinds like the look of the larger lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend P. Babcock Chase Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Howdy All, I'm too lazy to go down and open my safe to look at my 92, but the relation of the inside front of the lever and the trigger seem different to my eyes. Maybe it's the curve of the trigger area of the lever, I don't know. It's like there is less room for the trigger finger. What do y'all think, Rev. Chase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACKFOOT SASS #11947 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I don't feel that the kookey lever loop will win any favors in CAS! Your mileage may vary. Blackfoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Sackett Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Looks like the front sight is on a ramp / base, not dovetailed into the barrel. Is that legal? Sam Sackett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 It's not the large loop itself that's the problem, it's the shape of it. Essentially a triangle, it looks kinda goofy. To be honest, between it, and the front sight, I don't think those two are really aimed at the SASS crowd. The brass frame with a more traditional front sight and regular loop is prolly more attractive to many in the SASS crowd. And if you wanna have a big loop, it should look like this... Or maybe this... But I've got weird opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Rossi 92's have now got upwards of 800.00 nowadays. I see this as a entry level gun to start the game for people who can't or don't want to make a huge investment in a sport that they don't know if there are going to stay with .

But thinking about it, there are a few reasons why this may be the case... 1. It's just the introductory caliber. Other calibers may come later. I would bet on .44 Magnum, and maybe .45 Colt. or 2. .357 is believed to be what will be the best seller. If it will reliably also feed .38 Special, then it's all the more viable from a marketing POV. or 3. The gun is aimed at the more general market, and not CAS specific. This would be why .44-40 won't make an appearance in the short term. If it winds up being a great seller, that may change. In the end, I suspect all three reasons were factors, especially, number 3. If they were really going for the CAS crowd, they'd all have front sights like the brass one. But the more modern front sight on the carbines suggests to me a more general audience appeal than folks like us. Plus, the specific large loop used seems to me to support this idea as well.

Cullen_Bohannon Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Who can we get to confirm these are good for CAS? Im looking at one right now, seems swapping the FO sight pin for brass would make this legitamite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanigan Flats Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 A shooter showed up at the range with one yesterday. I handled it a bit. It is very light and the action is very smooth. The shooter stated that it shot extremely well. He shot it on at least a couple of stages. The only negative that he noted and I observed was that the loading gate was extremely stiff and made loading it a bear. The tenth round was very hard to load. I would say for a woman or youngster it would be worth considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
