WTS OR Rossi R92 Threaded .38/.357

[ntenseh23]

I'm selling an older Rossi R92 that was imported by Interarms. The rifle is a carbine length .38/.357. I had my gunsmith shorten the mag tube, move the barrel band/sight back, and thread the barrel in 1/2x28. It's pretty clean for its age and a lot of fun to shoot with a can.

I'm asking $625.

Very cool! What did it cost to do all of that?

I had the work done by JBRC in Vancouver. Jon did a great job. I paid $350 for everything, but it took a while due to the fact that I dropped it off during hunting season.

You will regret selling this. Would never part with my threaded Marlin JM 357/38

Does it come with the silencer? Serious buyer.

No. I'm only selling the rifle.

How's the sights with a suppressor attached?

How's the sights with a suppressor attached?

When the front and rear sights are aligned the top of both blades are basically on the same plain as the top of the suppressor. I have found this to be the case with both my Silencerco Octane 45 and my AAC Ti-Rant 45. Obviously the results will differ depending on the make, model, and diameter of whatever suppressor is attached to the rifle.

I typically prefer elevated sights to see over the suppressor, but in this case it's nice because when I bring the rifle up, it's like looking down the barrel of a nonribbed shotgun.

Here is the rifle standing on the sights on a level plain with the AAC Ti-Rant 45 attached.

So you had the mag tube shortened by how much? 1 round length?

 

[ntenseh23]

I only shortened the mag tube about a half of an inch. I will check the magazine capacity when I get a chance and pm you.

Why come still for sale? You can't get new Rossi R92's in 357 anymore, and with 38sp this is the quietest suppressed centerfire PCC... racking the action is louder than the shot.

I have a threaded 38/357 Marlin too.

I'm wondering if I should have my marlin threaded or buy this????

That is way cool, reminds me that Teddy Roosevelt had a suppressed lever gun.

It was a Winchester 30/30 with a Maxim suppressor.

The 1892 action is far less likely to ever get a Marlin Jam, requiring a tool steel inlay into the lifter bottom. Both are equally capable guns. A JM Marlin will require shortening of the mag tube, but the new models that come threaded aren't cheap.
This rifle is a really good deal. I would buy it if I didn't have a threaded Marlin. This gun has $200 in gunsmithing already done to it.
My only complaint on Rossi is the wood tends to be a little soft and usually is fairly plain. Any lever gun you want to run slowly to minimize action noise while suppressed May need a full action polish.
