I pocked up a Rossi 1892 Rifle in 45 Colt last spring.
I was not exactly wanting it. I had and sold a Marlin Cowboy 45 colt years before. Just cause I didnt use it. Anyhow I was wanting a TD Chiappa and this shop had them before I arrived. I was offered a deal I could not refuse.
Its a nice but typical Rossi. It was fun to smooth the action and wozers did it get nice!!! I left safety as its easy to just ignore. I next "fixed" sites. The factory are a travesty... 100% junk. A Marbels was swapped in rear and Lyman white beade front. Front was minimal fitting as Rossi dovetails are large...the rear, well that was different as the Marbles didnt have as much "meat" as the Lyman. So its a snug not tight fit.
Last week I found a Marbels Peep in stock with proper screws at Steves Guns and ordered them. Remember this is a rifle not carbine. (Pic below) Awaiting its delivery.
Im looking at leather wrapping the loop.
Any one do this or have one? Did ya make your own or buy it?
A uTube buddy, Nito posted a video a short time ago.
My pop is also wanting one. I never really gave them allot of thought. But I do like the look and can appreciate the comfort...
I ordered a couple kits last week.
What do you guys say?
