UPDATE: Rossi Ranch Hand Mares Leg

Carry options,
In the hand
With a single point quick detachable bungy sling
In a scabbard on or in a pack
The "gun bucket" style holster looks like a great option to have on your belt if you need to place the gun somewhere while using a camera,binoculars or rolling a smoke..... Looks pretty easy to make.
I'd angle the bucket a bit and wear it on the off side, cross draw like a sabre.

Foxer uses a bungee sling and a cheap plastic key holder that attaches to your belt. The saddle ring hooks onto the key clip for walking.

I still need to figure out how to attach my sling. I shoot left handed. The most comfortable is with it attached to a strap around the stock. Any ideas?
 
Drill a hole through the stock
Mount a sling loop to the stock with a screw
or put a piece of leather or thick woven nylon belt under the metal butt pad and hang it out the side you want to attach to......punch a nice grommet on their and you done.

I like the belt idea. I never thought of that.
 
Here's a quick on I made up with some woven nylon but I think it would be better with a thicker piece and eyelets. I just cut it to shape and welded the sides with a lighter and then used a torch and a nail to melt out the holes.
It's nice having a connection at the back of the stock because it makes cycling the action a lot smoother by holding the rear end up.

Here's my ghetto 2 point bungy innertube sling....not pretty but worked pretty good. The innertube part is redundant what I need to do is exchange the metal hasp that came with the bungy sling for an overlapping velcro flap ala surf board leash for the connection.....I'd rather not have the metal on metal.....

"Gun bucket" holster/retainer :)

I really do like the idea of that "gun-bucket" holster that Hungsolo mentioned and illustrated. I'd originally envisioned carrying the Ranch Hand when I was fishing on the fairly remote rivers around here (the Livingstone, the Oldman, the Castle), and in that case (for the walking in-and-out) I'd simply carry it in my hand or the side-sleeve of my daypack.

Onsite ... standing in or alongside the water ... the gun-bucket idea would seem perfect for keeping the firearm secure and readily available.

Until I fall in ... which inevitably happens ... and then I'd have to screw-up my courage/confidence and finally dis-assemble the thing! :)

The leather holster I got for my Chiappa from Wanstall is very nice
 
The Wanstall's RH holster ...

Hey Carverk,

"The leather holster I got for my Chiappa from Wanstall is very nice."

Yes ... I've seen pictures of it and it looks good. I didn't get one because I've already got a couple of items on the right-hand (strong side) of the Uncle Mike's gunbelt that I usually wear.

I liked the "gun bucket" idea because it provides a handy place (on the cross-draw side) to quickly stash the firearm when it's not in your hands ... as it probably should be (in my opinion, anyways) if you're carrying it for hunting or protection.

The various reactions from me joining the Rossi Ranch Hand family....

Me = :dancingbanana::dancingbanana::D:D:dancingbanana: :dancingbanana:

My Credit Card = :mad:ovrec:angovrec:mad:

Im very impressed with how smooth my action came on my .44Mag, I dont know if I got a good one out of the bunch, but Im very happy with it thats for sure!!!!

I have to say that this thread is unbelieveable source of information on these little beasts, major props to all CGNrs who contributed to it, as my Credit Card hates you all :D:D:D and also the fact that this is one of the best ongoing threads on CGN!!!

My first question, does anyone know where we can locate any extra foreends? Or are my options just at Boyds stocks at the moment, Im mostly just looking for a factory replacement because of some ideas I have buzzin around my noggin... :D

:cheers:

Welcome to the Rossi Club....The short-ass Rossi Club that is!
There are suppliers down south that will gladly gouge you for
fore-ends for your .44 but they won't ship them cause they're
not set up with the US gov't. to do so. (Or they ain't interested.)

It would probably work better to go through Boyd's custom order
section to get the fore-end that you desire.
I figure that if we bug them enough with desires to get
butts & fore-ends in their laminate lines, we could very well
end up with some very neat stuff to work with.
I just hope our southern cousins are bugging them too.
Enjoy your new blaster, they're fun to shoot and tinker on.
:)
 
Here is my baby with some of my 300gr loads I did today. It was my first time reloading so hopefully nothing blows up in my face.

So Im assuming that Precision GunWorks in Texas is the one your speaking of? :(:(:(

Darn USA ruining all the fun for all of us... ARGHH I tell ya what its frustratin to say the least :D But it looks like a Boyds Winchester M92 Stock is probably going to be my route with some slight mods, meh not like Im complaining, I just enjoy this little beast so much! :)
 
Gunstocks Inc. was the supplier I was referring to. The Boyd's stocks are what
we have to work with at the moment, but hey..it's all good fun.
It ain't easy trying to match the stain,but I got fairly close on this one.

The smartest move rossi can make in 2012 is to announce the release of an 1892 Trapper with a 12" barrel like in the old winchester days.
