[driller212]

well you guys can check out what he does for me, and see if you like what you see... I will post pics of it when it is done. He is very reasonable and is good to work with so far!

Stop telling people that I'm OK to work with, I'm usually known as a grumpy gnome-like being!!
Cheers!!

haha, I have a hard time believing that

Well i'm really interested to see what spacesaver comes up with, and seeing as he'll likely finish before the gun gets here i think he should be required to post some pics of the process as he goes, to give us some idea of what it's going to look like

How strong are these rifles? Comparable to a regular Winchester 94?

[driller212]

its a lever action rifle they are usually pretty damn strong and reliable in my experience, the designs are based off of the 92/94 winchester models if I am not mistaken.

I could be wrong though

There was discussion some time ago when the longer Rossi '92s came along about shooting hot loads through them. The older, Winchester 1892s arent meant for hot loads.

These Rossi ones are up to the challenge though because of the metals used.

Thats why they can make a .454 Cassul '92.

At least, that was the consensus among the internets.

yea I read the same thing on some of the forums from the states.

Good article thanks. Seems like the Rossi in 45 COlt will be able to withstand some warm loads. (And since it is chambered in 44 magnum, it should)
