    Nice a fairly scarce item these days. Might be a really good find given Rossi seems to have dropped all calibers but .45 (their website is confusing).

    I was happy with the price. It looked like a safe queen. Just a tiny bit of surface rust. I had John at Duffy's look it over and smooth out the action a little bit. It shoots very nice.

    I got a Rossi 92 in .357 from United's consignment stable a little while ago at a very reasonable price. Unfortunately, it had the not-unusual feeding problem the 92s are known for and is now at Braztech for repair so I can't post a photo but I will when it gets back.

    But yeah, from my research, they're not making the .357s as of now, so if you find one for a decent price, it's a good idea to pick it up.

    P.S. Someone said in this forum somewhere that levers can be addictive. I'm here to tell you, that is very true.

    That's one of the nuances of Rossi's though everyone I have ever had that was a little inconsistent was fixable by adjusting the cartridge guides.

    I usually make a few dummy cartridges without primers (and painted appropriately) for testing.

    Hitting the road early for the Gettysburg show paid off for me. I finally found a Marlin 1894 in .357 after looking a while. Nothing fancy, but here it is -

    Is that one of the new ones or an older one? If it’s a new one, how would you grade the fit and finish?

    As someone said before me, it is pretty standard to have to mess with the cartridge guides on a model 92. If you hunt with the rifle and use bullets with wide meplats, you will probably have to adjust them to the bullet shape. Once you deal with the guides, they usually are pretty smooth. ;)

    I sent it off to Braztech because I'm new to levers and wasn't confident with messing with it myself. However, I bookmarked those instructions and if I have any more problems I'll see what I can do at my own bench. Thanks for the info, guys.

    Also, the repair cost is minimal, with a flat $35 bench fee and the cost of any parts. I paid for shipping it there and they cover the return.

    Is that one of the new ones or an older one? If it’s a new one, how would you grade the fit and finish?

    It is a new model, likely produced this year (I've searched for a SN lookup but couldn't find anything for one this new. I could call them and ask but it's been weekend since I got it). I specifically asked the dealer because the word is that they have gotten their QC act together and are turning out quality guns now.

    A visual inspection supports that. Fit, finish and feel of all moving parts look and feel high quality and so far, I'd say it's excellent. Now, it's only left to eat the pudding and see how it shoots, hopefully this week. :)

    Very envious on the .375 I missed out on one of those a while back because I was cheap. I have a Marlin in .444.

    You and me both. I bought a Colt Offical Police 6” on a semi-lark at the Gettysburg show. I’ve been wanting a revolver for awhile. Excellent deal on it, but it is going to cost me in the long run.

    I’ve reprioritized my wants/needs list to a 4” 686 or GP100 and then a lever gun in .357. Anyone have experience with the new Marlin 1894s in .357?

    I bought one from SOS when they had them on sale a month ago. Beautiful gun ,but haven't shot it yet. The Henry in .357 shoots nice.
