UPDATE: Rossi Ranch Hand Mares Leg

I just picked one up Hex barrel brass body. Cost me $995 well $1044 after the government gets their cut. I got the 45 LC. I am trying to hunt down a full wrap leg holster for it now. Any leads would be much appreciated. There was a guy among these many pages from Calgary Alberta who made one. I would love to get in touch with him and see if he would be willing to make another to sell. Now that I have posted this I will start to go back through the pages and track that post down.

Mine does that occasionally. I have found that if you work the lever just slightly, maybe 1/2", it pushes that round where it needs to be so I can keep loading.

I'm not sure if the gun should behave this way but this is how I deal with it.

It's the same issue and solution with mine as well.

A Rossi Ranch Hand :confused:
 
I have been considering getting mine nickel plated... Anybody know what that kind of thing costs?

I cannot do my own sandblasting, so that would have to be done as well...

Any shop that has a glass beading booth can prep the metal for plating. An automotive plating shop can do the nickel finish for you. The cost for plating should be well under 100.oo for sure.;)

50 Yard Range Report
Out shooting today with my club and had a chance to shoot my full stocked Ranch Hand at 50 yds. I put a Limbsaver Precision Fit Recoil Pad on it due to a separated shoulder muscle and while it helped a lot I could still only shoot one 6 round group. I had a couple of young fellows fire groups but they had never fired a 44 magnum before so their groups weren't stellar but still respectable. My group is the high one -2 3/4". Sitting on my butt, using my knees as a rest, not rapid fire but shooting quick.

The 3rd group was low and to the left of the paper. One fellow shot from the knees like I did and he had a 4 1/2" group. The other fellow shoot offhand standing and his group was about 12".

I'm running Steve's fiber optic front sight and peep rear site.

Anybody else got 50 or 100 yd. groups for comparison? I'm thinking I could cut that 2 3/4" down to under 2" once my shoulder heals.

I wouldn't glass-bead any firearm...

Aluminum Oxide or Garnet will leave the best profile for firearms refinishing...

100-120psi Alum / 80-100psi Garnet
 
Tried to install new sights tonight...what a disaster. I've managed to re index the barrel, sights used to be both straight and at high noon...now they are at 11:59. I managed to rotate the barrel in the receiver and to add insult, I couldn't get the new rear sight in anyway(old rear sight just came right out). Couldn't get the front sight out at all. I guess I'll have to take it to epps and hope for the best.

Did I mention as a result of rotating the barrel to bolt now binds on the ejector...used to run like butter.
