Just wondering who you all would suggest as a smith for doing a little work on my Rossi 92? I Have the 20” round barrel in 357 mag and I tested a few dummy rounds with much longer OAL (1.71 will chamber). That’s right close To the 360 Dan Wesson max OAL. (1.76)
Just something I thought of while watching the snow melt.
Problem is I would need to modify the cartridge carrier . Right now the rifle cycles with no issues from 38 special to 357 mag at 1.60.
Bump OAL up to 1.605 and one in ten will hang up.
With 1.61 OAL it’s definitely too long and causing many hang ups.
Any thoughts on this? I could Gain 150fps with minimal work… or ruin an already good rifle? So it’s Not something I want to take on myself but is there a smith you would suggest for this?
Or is it just a bad idea?
