Just getting into CAS, and in the process of obtaining all my cowboy guns.
Took the new EMF/Rossi 1892 carbine/stainless in .45Colt to the range last weekend, and shot about 100 rounds. Store bought, and reloads.
The action was a little stiff, and a couple of rounds, would not feed smoothly, but it's getting better with use.
The only real problem I have is with the gun ejecting the cases. You have to firmly push the lever to get the case to eject, and then it does't go very far, and the last case(10), doesn't get ejected at all! It just falls back in the receiver on top of the carrier.
I'm not a gunsmith, but I can't see anything wrong with the extractor, or the ejector. BTW, when I cycle live rounds thru the action, it flings them all out with normal force.
Is this normal for a 1892? I have a 1894 in .30-.30, that doesn't have this problem. Maybe it's the .45Colt.
