UPDATE: Rossi Ranch Hand Mares Leg

I've got a idea for a stock extension. Basically I'm looking to design a magnetic stock extension that's 3d printed and has some built in storage. Storage will just for a few rounds and maybe some basic gear.

Would anyone be interested in this?

Also I'd like to find someone with a full sized 92 stock that could take some picture of it for me for getting it into the 3d software.
 
If it helps (but it won't) I still have one full 92 stock (80% inletted) but it is a deluxe stock (pistol grip) and would require a curved lower tang to use (which I also have)
 
Well I don't have the stock to sell. I'm trying to work out exactly how to get it made.

Right now I'm trying to figure out how to make a right 3d image of the stocks. I figure if I can get a 3d image made of the standard ranch hand stock, and then model 92 that is most of the battle. You just then remove the standard stock area from the 92, flare the end of the remainder a little and it should fit perfect.

Never done anything like this before so it's a lot of reading right now.
 
I have an old ramline synthetic stock for my model 94 which i just tried to slip on my Rossi 92. Without forcing it or modding it you can get it about 85+% on the Rossi, within an inch of fitting...almost. With some shaving and trimming it just might be doable, but the tang screw hole placement is just a little too far forward when compared to the original Rossi stock. With a wood stock you could fill the hole then redrill in the correct spot but thats not so easy with synthetic. Its so darn close i'm surprised ramline hasn't made a stock for the 92 yet! I think the ramline fore-end is even closer to fitting. I loosened the forend band and slid the forend ahead so i could get a better comparison to the ramline forend, the wood and synthetic look to be very close.Unfortunately to completely remove the forend band and then the original forend i'd have to drift out the front sight to allow the removal of the forend band. I don't feel like messing with the front sight right now though.
This is certainly food for thought though. My 92 is the stainless version, i would love to just mount the synthetic set on it if only it would fit. This makes me inclined to get a Ranch Hand now, i could swap the full stock of the 92 onto the ranch hand then take my sweet time and try and somehow fit the ramline stock on the stainless 92. I must check to see if you can still get the Ramline for the 94, i don't want to risk mucking it up if i can no longer get a replacement.
 
I have the Chiappa takedown Mare's Leg in 44 Mag and a holster made by Couchise Leather I picked up stateside.
I think they were just over $400.
The holster was $75.
Nice handy gun for bush carry in Canada and other jurisdictions where handguns aren't legal.
The Rossi Ranch Hand should be equally as handy.
 
I'm looking for a small lever to replace my large loop with. Any body know where I can get one or trade for one. I also have an original Winchester 1892 lever to trade also. I was going to try and fit it to my rifle but.., thanks Kevin
 
Uh... is this out? If so, When is the next batch of .357 coming in?

(I am still waiting for my PAL, but it's definitely something in my consideration)
 
wondering if any of you right handers are having any problems with the saddle ring in regards to the holster. I have made a left hander for myself and it worked out great but now a buddy wants me to make him a righty. in my thinking, over time, the right hander would play heck on the holster. thoughts?
 
My biggest problem with my holster is it's fabric and the sights are so tall they kept snagging.

Leather holster is the way to go. I temporarily fixed my problem by putting a half cardboard tube in the holster.
 
Anyone know if any dealers are stocking the Rossi in .357? & what they're going for now? Thnx

*Edit- found 3 sponsors listing them. $700 to $749 - prices have gone up. The place for $699.99 & $729.99 has available stock. Wanted a gauge, as much as I like mine, I may be selling it, as I want the .44 now, & can get a decent deal on one.
