ASM 1892
Mean Bob Mean:
Anyone have experience with the Army San Marco 1892? Worth a look? Avoid? Anyone?
Abilene:
What I've heard about them is: avoid. There is a nice engraved one on the shelf at Cimarron that I think was a sample from ASM. Looks nice, but that's all.

Thanks man, was looking at one in .44-40, I'd really like a 92 in .44 or .38-40 but I don't want a POS. I think I'll save till I can get a Winchester.

Coffinmaker:
In my nefarious past, I worked on a few ASM '92s. Those rifles suffered the same QC problems everything else from ASM suffered. ASM parts wouldn't fit ASM guns. They could be made to work but not to really "run." My council would be "PASS."

Tuolumne Lawman:
I just picked up an early "pre-safety" Rossi in .44 WCF for $419. Apparently, another CAS shooter had it before me. It had been polished, and the action is slick as greased lightning. The early Rossi 92s had a flimsy rear sight, and I ordered a Marbles semi-Buckhorn replacement for it, like I had on my last one. It is so slick, light, and fast, I think I will be shooting the Rossi more than my Uberti 1860 as a main match rifle!
