'92 help needed.

[litl rooster]

   I have an older Rossi 92 in .45 colt, that a few months back started given me some problems. it began when I loaded the magazine, the rounds would not stay in place in the magazine tube. So the last round loaded would back out on the carrier. I have taken it apart several times now and have changed all the springs (Including the leaf spring behind the carriage stop guide on the left side) and cleaned it up good. No sence taken any metal off it's older. Age has done that. There seems to be an ejection problem, and the issue with loading seems to still exsist. I believe ejection problem is an easy fix with some tweaking, but the loading problem has me baffled. Any thoughts or suggestions would be grateful.

     It sounds to me like you aren't getting the last round in far enough, I use a "LAST ROUND IN PUSH STICK ", it will let you push your bullet all the way in so that it doesn't get hung up, I made my own, here is a picture of one next to a key fob I made, this should take care of your problem, you're just not getting that last round in far enough, if you make one like mine, you can carry it around in you gun belt in a bullet loop. This works for all lever actions, when you load your lever gun, use the next round to push in the one you're loading, it's a lot easier on the fingers.

I have the older Rossi in .357 that I started in SASS with some five years ago.  I have had some work done on it and have shot 3-4 thousand rounds through it in practice and matches.  Occasionally it fails to feed with loosing the round to the right on the carrier and then stovepiping the cartridge.  I just make sure all of the screws are tight which seems to fix the problems.
You problem may be due to wear on the carrier stop or wear on the magazine tube that does not allow the cartridge to feed straight onto the carrier.
My Rossi is now retired to matches with wet weather.  I now shoot an original 1892 in .32-20 with no problems.  The rifle was made to feed bottleneck rounds.  Originals can be found for under the price of a new 1892.
