I have had two 92's, both pre=safety Rossi's in .44-40. The first one was my first SASS rifle in 1994. It was a bit rough and springs too strong - mashing case mouths. I worked on it a bit, and replaced (actually shortened) the extractor and ejector springs, and it ran like a clock. Moved on to a 44-40 Henry. The next one is my current one that I got used. It had belonged to a CAS shooter on the east coast, and already had a professional action job and wrap on leather. VERY sweet, and action is smooth and light. I plan on keeping it and using it as my main match gun 50% of the time (the other 50% will be my Uberti Henry).
I confess this time around, I looked for a Marlin in 44-40, but except for expensive originals, there were none to be found. Really wanting a 44-40, I went with the Rossi instead.
