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.

Nice work,
What's the part number on the pad? Did it need much fitting? It looks similar to a Limbsaver....
 
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.
 
Yes, the fit took some doing with a back & forth fit with stock to gun. I finnally had to add hardwood strips with (epoxy cement for wood) to get the stock to fit. The Boyde's stock (Win 1892/pre-64 94 stock walnut semi-inlet) fits quite well with just a bit of outside sanding to get it to fit in the end, I'm pleased with the finnal product.
PS, just take your time and all will be well.
 
I am likely going the opposite direction of most members here...

I want to modernize mine. I plan to add a red dot and light. I know right... ;)

Is anyone aware of a synthetic stock that could be made to fit my .44mag Ranch Hand?

If you find a flashlight mount that is reasonable tell me ! Ive been looking and there seems to be little to non so i may just make a bare min one, since this will be my camp gun now.
 
That is my plan for mine to, a camp and pack gun. Something that is easy to carry.

My plan is to find a synthetic stock set and simply screw on a small piece of picatinny rail up front then I will mount a pistol style light.

Thats my plan im thinkin also ... I found a ram line winchester 94 synthetic for 70 bucks but not sure if it will work?
 
had mine out today and i loved it but there was a few problems. had a couple times where the action was hard to open and on further inspection the case seemed to have been bulged a little about a quarter inch from the bottom. i assume thats not normal but is it an ammunition thing or a gun thing? brand was american eagle. also the gun seemed to shoot extremely high.
