Re-Stocking a Rossi

[300BLK]

Its SS, so why not spray-on bedliner or Krylon for the stocks?

Because it's not just the red color I don't like it's the shape as well. I can actually tolerate the red color OK. The shape of the butt really bothers me that square top with the recoil pad and so thin and narrow from top to bottom just looks funky.
Side-by-side with my browning it's just Fugly.

Apples and oranges. Hard to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Rossi's aren't high end. Myself, wouldn't invest half the cost of another Rossi for replacement wood. Look at replacing the recoil pad with a Pac or Limbsaver..............more cost effective.

Agreed this is another reason the 170$ for Walnut from Boyds is looking better...

wow that red really shows in that pic. Do you think wood bleach would take out the stain if you refinished it?

 

[Snakeoil]

Yeah, I spoke to George about stocking a Miroku High Wall (Browning) I have and George will not do the Japanese Highwalls. My guess is there is just not enough call for him to tool up. Another thing he mentioned was that there are different versions, all having different dimensions. I thought with CAS so popular, that the Rossi's might be something he did. Oh well.

 

[fiver]

the CAS guys like their marlins.
they do the short throw conversion etc., plus none of them can figure out how to clean a winchester.

If ya really hate the shape of the stock, glue some wood to it, reshape it to suit you, and then send it off (with your replacement blank) to Mark to duplicate

I think I am going with Steves Guns. He offers laminated and walnut. Blk Lam might be nice on the stainless steel.

Cindy's Stainless Steel Model 70 Classic wears a Boyd's stock in Grey & Black laminate. We like the look. Don't currently have a picture in my gun folder.

off the Rossi website you can get a nice adjustable M-4 type stock and go full tactical.
it even has an optional 5 round bullet holder, and a cheek piece riser available for red dot's and the like.

I see that. Have you seen the "tombstone" 9mm Lever?

Ya'all already know my 9mm feelings.

Now That deserves an " Unlike " button

Give it a big loop lever and it would actually be uglier.

 

[RicinYakima]

Been down that road, but so ugly I couldn't even keep it. Especially after I found out could sell the 7.62X39 barrel for $500!

Rossi sells larger and med loops on there house site. (Out of stock) There 3/4 size I almost like. The factory loop JUST fits 4 fingers 1/2 way in and with a glove is barely adequate. Doubt Id get one but I did consider it especially cause its 60$ not the sometime 200 ya see for Marlins. To my eye a more pleasant shape then the Henry 3/4 size.
