Rossi 92 style

[Headedthere]

I have a Rossi 92 style lever action in 357/38. It's always had pretty stiff lever action. Are there any reliable kits to reduce the effort?

I like those. Following...

Have you sat watching TV for an hour just cycling it hundreds of times?

I love the rifle, it's simple and so fun to shoot. Except for the stiff action.
I've got a few hundred rounds through it, if that counts. I'm sure a few thousand would smooth it out.

Yes, its called a Henry

No, no, no not the Henry.

(It's a good rifle, but it cannot be slicked up or short stroked to CAS speed demon standards.

Yes, its called a Henry

ZING!

Yes. Steve's spring kit will not smooth out the older Rossi rifles, they will just make it easier to open and close the bolt. Rossi actions need a good stoneing on moving parts and contact surfaces to make them smooth and have a crisp trigger pull.

Ok, great feedback. I can do the install just fine, but more than that I'll be looking for a gunsmith.
