Lever action help....

[Sputnik]

I had a Win/Miroku 92 in .357. It was sensitive to Cartridge OAL. .357 was GTG, .38s had to be loaded long, out past the crimp groove a good deal, in order to cycle without standing a round on end and jamming the works.

I was using it for CAS so it got old...so I sold it and got a Win/Miroku '73. Now thats a slick gun.

I still have a '92 in .45 Colt and it, too is COAL sensitive but its just a matter of getting things dialed in on the reloading press.

The wood on the '92 is kinda plain. I've rubbed on oil and all but it hasn't changed the color much. I think you'd have to sand it a bit to get the oil to soak in.
I decided the finish is fine and gave up wanting to change it.

I like that leather butt stock piece... Did you make it?

Nope, it was made by Jon Klein at gunstockcover.com. He does awesome work.

Jon is a great guy to deal with and he makes great leather products at a very good price.

CAS requires so much shooting that almost all competitors are realoaders in order to afford their hobby. What they mainly do is to reload .357 mag cases with .38 special loads for their lever rifles.

Or .38 cases with 90gr mouse-fart "gamer" loads. Not much more recoil than a .22. That's part of the speed aspect, the other part being lots of practice.

Range report:

I went to a indoor range tonite and shot freedom munitions 38spl and federal .357

I shot at 10 yards just to get a feel for the sights, the hold, and cycling a lever action.

It felt great..I didn't have any jams and shooting 38spl isn't a problem I just hold the muzzle down just a little bit and it works great.

I was for the second time shooting my 586 which share ammo with the 1892...

I'm very happy with them both

Some 92's are sensitive with 38's and OAL. In my Rossi, I load them a little long and have never had a problem.
