UPDATE: Rossi Ranch Hand Mares Leg

[Kanaima]

Not from the factory but any rossi lever can be fitted or the lever can be reworked by any good welder. Photo is of Shell Shuckers beauty...

Spot on, it's the bugs we really gotta worry about!

@Hungsolo: Thx for the info...still I think we both agree that we feel safer with the RH! I think I'll use your method with the fog plus insurance if my hand is ever forced.

Hardcast is definately a better penetrator, I'll be hand-loading some bear-medicine.

Check out bullet barn. They sell hard cast. They are on the sunshine coast. I am moving to the island next month so I will order then.

Has anyone else had their cartridge guide screw fall out???

Mine stripped and fell out. I looked at the screw crazy thin and small threads, however my cartridge guide has much larger and coarse threads.

The question is am I alone? Did someone thread my guide wrong or put the wrong part in my gun?

The only way to keep it running to is sit the bolt in the hole and put tape over top of it...

There's a cartridge guide screw left and one right on the schematic in the Owners Manual. I think you are referring to the left as there is no screw on the right.......only an open hole. At least I hope it's an open hole as there are no threads.

Thanks for the tip!

You may also want to check out Western Bullet Products. I've used their cast for my 45-70 and they're awesome quality!

Dan is the fellow's name if memory serves, they live on Saltspring.

Yes, that is simply an open hole. Last summer I kinda panicked when I saw it and I was confused by the schematic in the owner's manual. I subsequently learned that the hole is there to accommodate a small "punch" that is used in the dismantling process.

Thanks, Boomer. That's a relief. Trying to get anything out of Taurus can be a nightmare.

Just completed my Rossi 44 Mag Mares Leg with Boyde's Stock & PresisionGun Stock recoil Pad

[Can-down]

Nice work,
What's the part number on the pad? Did it need much fitting? It looks similar to a Limbsaver....

[gmj]

The pad is a Limbsaver Precision Recoil Pad, fits the following stated on the package, (Baikal,Ithaca,Mossberg,Remington,T/C,Weatherby,Winchester)
Part # 10102
Purchased at Williams-Arms in Port Perry

No fitting other than screwing it on with the stock screws.

That looks great! Did you have to inlet it to fit better?
