Marshall, you are one fine fellow! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Scotty (waiting for the clone heads to show)

A forum for B92's??? Cool! Thank you, Marshall, for all the new forums!!!!

My Browning B92 in .44 Mag is easily one of my favorite shooters!

Yes, indeed, thanks Marshall. I have bounced around half a dozen different sites since Marlin tossed the grenade into our old campfire. It seemed like the lever-action Diaspora: one tribe here, one tribe there, but no singular Promised Land. The additions of the new forums here could be the ticket. And having been around this site for a couple years I know the principles and integrity that guides the leadership.

Hello gentlemen,
I'm new to the forum and seeing B92 on a post I just had to say something since it is my favorie shooter.Only problem is that your friends want to plink with your rifle,not so bad if they would bring some ammo for it.

Mesquite,

we are so pleased that you have joined us. I hope you get cozy and share in the fun. These little 92's are great.

Cream? Sugar?

scotty

Any of you fine 92er's do any accurzing with your guns of any kind? Been doing some really interesting work with lapping and bedding the stocks, turning the little cheap Rossi's into some VERY impressive shooters.

Anyone else? Or is it just my fettish?

God Bless,

Marshall,

While I have not gotten to that point with mine YET, I have been doing the research. The biggest problem is that in order to do that stuff, you have to leave it home for a few days all in peices parts.

I guess a fella needs two of them eh?

When time allows, perhaps that very topic would be a great tech note item so that we are not posting links to "those other sites" ;*)

Scotty

That's the idea Scotty.... it's coming, as time allows. Been doing the photo thing all along, just the time to optimize, crop, write and format....Actually a two part on the 92's is in the works..... perhaps three parts if time allows :D

God Bless,

That put a big ol smile on my face. I cannot put my finger on just what it is about that little .454 that has bitten me so hard but I think it is the neatest rifle I have ever had. I was beating up on an old propane tank yesterday with some 255's over a dip of Clays in some old Colt brass. What a hoot!

I see the need for a little tool to clean the chamber with. Needs to be on a springy rod so that cleaning can be done from the breech end with minimal fuss. Would make switching from .45Colt to .454Casull a little less painfull.

Scotty

Scotty,

Cleaning that chamber's simple! Buy a supply of .410 bore shotgun cleaning brushes, and a couple wool mops as well. These are wound up on wire cores, simply bend the wire core at 90 degrees just before the threaded ferrule, and then screw in a pistol cleaning rod. Then, you can clean the dickens out of that chamber by simply opening the action. Scrub it good with the bore brush, then swab to finish using one of the .410 bore wool mops and you're done! :D

Heh, Heh, Heh.... love it when I finally have an answer! :cool: :D:D

God Bless,

Much easier than a brillo pad and pinky Marshall.

I was using a rifle rod with brush from the muzzel. I slipped a peice of aquarium air hose over the rod (full length) to protect the bore, but need a great idea like yours to put in my shirt pocket.

All my best,

Scotty

I would love to hear some accurizing that could be done to an 1892. I have two 24" barreled models, one a Rossi 357 mag & one a Miroku/Winchester 45 colt. Putting a tang sight on one or both and shooting heavy for caliber bullets beyond 100 yards is one of my goals.

The 92 thread is just what we need. Mine is in 44-40 and I mounted a tang peep and firesight for a fast combination. Had to cut the bbl. band around the front sight and install a Wms. shorty ramp for the firesight. I think one in .357 would be a fun gun and I could be easily tempted.

Hello popgun,
Consider yourself tempted.The .357 is a great choice in the 92.I dont hunt with mine even though I shoot it better than any other gun I own.Its light,fast,never jams and shoots any thing you put in it.The most fun gun I have.

Mesquite, I think I can Justify getting a 92 in .357 since my son has a Blackhawk in that caliber and lots of ammo already loaded. Any excuse can be turned into a good reason, right?

Popgun...welcome. I am going to use the same logic since my daughter has somehow glommed up my .357's. Girlz, sheesh...always wantin somethin.

Scotty

Scotty,

Better buy those .357 Rossi carbines in volume!

My first .357 Rossi, a 16" Bbl. model, my wife claimed the first time she shot it, and after that the next two 20" .357 Rossi 92's are monopolized by my teenage daughters.... they're so much fun, and so versatile! They love them.

Soooooo, I guess I'll just be FORCED to buy another one.... this time a stainless :D :D

Sure can't think of a better truck gun or woods bummin' companion than these "little" .357's that are workhorses in disguise!

God Bless,
