UPDATE: Rossi Ranch Hand Mares Leg

I just checked my gun, I am missing the same part!

Gary any chance you can get us a bunch of the missing screws?

I would guess it isn't a good thing to be missing a screw that helps/hinders the loading of the gun... :(
 
Mine has that hole as well, however I do remember it coming in the box that way, I think it is supposed to be like that... I hope..

Full stocks are doable but I need export permits etc...and commitments. From what i hear there is minor fitting needed and I've always been concerned with the PITA factor in matching up the wood. Which alternatively means getting the forend too which means more costs...

A complete second set of wood including a full stock seems like a brilliant idea to me. I'll commit.

It will leave one to abuse and one to look nice.
 
Mine didn't come with it either. And i have yet to do more than load a few snap caps.

has anyone contacted Rossi? They might have an FAQ or something on this.

EDIT ***

No need to worry. The pic on Rossi's web site shows a hole... So i assume it's normal... Phew!
 
I have put about 75 rounds through it, with this mysterious "missing part" and it works fine.

I have a feeling they are supposed to be that way. if not, they seem to work fine the way they are anyways.
 
Merci...

Hey guys,

Thank you ... I was starting to feel uneasy about my possible "Senior's Moment" today.

Something tells me that the dude/dudette at Assembly Station #13 on the RH line in Brazil may have been nodding-off.

Not to mention the person in the "Visual Quality Control" booth a bit further down the line.

On another note ... I have to comment on the interest in getting full-stocks ... especially from folks who haven't tried it as-is. In my opinion, the basic Mare's Leg can be held steadier than a pistol ... and almost (with a bit of tension in both directions) as well as a shoulder-fired rifle.

Why sacrifice its coolness/fun factor to make it 9% more accurate at a job that it wasn't ever "made" for?

Still curious ...

The hole is there so you can use a punch to drive out the bolt pin.

I want to believe you, but is that a reasonable-but-educated guess? Or a fact?

Seems like a good way to let dust/moisture unnecessarily enter the innards.

Where few people dare to tread ...

Anybody with a proper gunsmith's punch would (I hope) have a suitable screwdriver to first remove the screw.
 
How is a screw supposed to fit in a hole that is not tapped?
On the subject of screws.... it's a good habit with levers to check the screws regularly and tighten when necessary.....some of mine were loose on arrival.

If you look at the schematic in the owner's manual on Page 18, it's the hole for Part #49, the small "Cartridge Guide Screw" that secures Part #57 (the "Cartridge Guide, Right") to the interior right wall of the receiver.

Two interesting points. First, the "Cartridge Guide, Right" still seems to be rock solid and immoveable. Maybe it's just securely wedged in there.

The part you are referring to is held by the screw below and to the rear of the hole you are asking about. If you look into the receiver at the part you are describing it is plain to see that it is no where near the hole you are questioning....the diagram is not that clear but if you use your eyes you will notice that there is no way a screw could thread into the un tapped hole that is above the cartridge guide and directly opposite of the bolt pin plug screw.

Some tape over the hole will keep the dust out....
 
Thanks

Mr. Down,

Thank you for the detailed and patient explanation.

That schematic really "threw" me and, as you might have guessed ... I'm not good at technical/mechanical stuff.
 
Mine cycles smoothly (other than having to be more conscious of short-stroking, unlike a Marlin) and goes boom, so my only complaint so far is the sights.

agreed. although mine makes a squeaking sound as the bolt closes when cycling, seeming to come from the internals near the rear end of the bolt area... a little annoying... but I will take it down and figure out what it is and solve it ;)
 
woot got my holster today! thanks Gary and team again!
