UPDATE: Rossi Ranch Hand Mares Leg

These are still out there, I bought mine from Canadian Tire in Swift Current, SK just this boxing day in .45 long colt.

And am jumping into an old thread looking for full sized stock, small sized lever options. If that magentic add on thing actually exists, I'll be all over it.

Full stock check with Rusty Woods in Mission, BC, magnetic thing I can't remember if it was home made or someone was selling them, it's in here somewhere. As for the loop lever I just cut mine and reworked it to what I wanted which was a medium one and re-welded it

Heys gents, my first time posting here! Read thru most of this awesome thread after I bought a RH. Mine is in 45 Colt. Added a temp stock extension until I can get a full stock. Unfortunately, Rustys no longer carry full stocks so will have to go with Boyds or Precisions. Had to do something with the sights (typical RH POA issue) so thought I'd get a set of Steves RH peep sight/front sight that replaces the bolt mounted safety. Again, he stopped exporting to Canada. So I decided to have a go at fabbing one myself. Used a short section of steel rod, filed a profile, swabbed with cold blue and installed it. To my surprise it is dead on at 25m with Hornady Leverevolution ammo! Wish I spent more time on finishing the peep sight as I'm reluctant to remove now as it works great. I'll post a couple more pics later of the range results. Cheers!

What rail mount is that? It looks slick

I found mine to be spot on with the factory sights... I don't think that many line up the bead with the bottom of the slot in the rear sight and then declare them to be out. The big wings are not to have the bead centered in, they are to aquire your target fast... kinda like a peep

Who knows, maybe Rossi finally started putting 1/2" tall front sights on like they should have in the first place..... :)

I got mine to shoot point of aim when they first arrived in Canada but I had to remove the elevator and file the slot you are talking about down a fair bit in order to use the factory front sight Rossi was using at the time.

What I like with buckhorn sights is they offer several easy aiming points that can be used for hold over on longer shots ,without moving the sliding elevator,
 
Sorry if this has already been asked, but is it possible to replace the lever with a regular sized lever from a Rossi 92?
 
Yeah I saw that. Looks very good.

How much heating is required to bend it into shape? Is there any special heat treating process that needs to be performed to re-harden it when you're done shaping and welding it?

Where abouts did you make the cut?

I just used a propane torch and heated a couple of inches at a time to dull red and bent it around an aluminum pattern I had cut out. I didn't do any hardening as you only heat the bottom of the loop.

I cleaned up the weld and cold blued it. It really shows up in the pics but you can hardly see it in real life.

I cut it at the back top just where the bend finishes, red line in pic
