    This is suppose to be the goto guy for Rossi lever actions.

    Steve's Gunz Rossi 92 Metal Mag Tube Follower [00146] - If your gun is a late model it will have the yellow plastic follower. The plastic tends to swell, crack and hang up with time. I have the original type metal mag followers. Works with the Ranch hand also. My newest followers are now made from stainless steel. Be sure to pick


    What store did you find that rifle ?
    Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.
    I really miss the good old Pomona Gun Shows.

            I made my own from a deformed 6mm(?) Socket; It fit the tube just right.
            I Plugged the 1/4" square drive Socket hole with some brass and soldered it in,
            drilled out the deformed 6mm socket hole end to accommodate the spring, turned down the plugged face end to
            match the plastic plug's dimensions by chucking it in a drill press and using coarse and fine files, and, ,
            a steel follower for less than an hour's work.

              His spring kit for the Rossi makes a world of difference, especially when done with cleaning up of the factory chatter marks.

                  Steves Gunz also sells a plug for that safety hole, I got rid of the safety on my Rossi 92.

                  I am running the Palo Verde spring kit, I love it. It also comes with some tips for smoothing things up. It made a huge difference, the action is really slick now.

                    I use a .44 mag. case that i knocked the rim down a bit with a file,
                    the close tolerance is perfect.

                    I also use a .25 auto case to plug the safety hole.

                      I use same one which came with the gun. 5+ years (or maybe more, i don't remember when i bought it, probably closer to 9), 100s and 100s rounds and no problem so far. Why bother? Don't fix what ain't broken.

                        It's funny, I've never heard of anybody having problems with the factory plug, yet it's the first thing I do.

                          Exactly! I've had my Rossi 92 for over 15 years and the factory plug is still going strong. That said, I do know what it's like to get a new gun during a time when I had money to burn and a desire to "trick it out" some..

                          For that, save the money on the plug and consider putting it towards a diopter tang sight. I could pretty much promise that you will get far more "fun for your money" by adding a tang sight like a Marbles, etc.

                            Yeah it did happen to me. The plug kept coming off the spring and getting sideways in the mag tube. I ended up super glueing the spring into the cap. Actually worked pretty darn well.

                              +1. I have his kits in both my .357 and .45 Colt Rossi's.
