Hi. I got a new 223 Rossi and posted my results a short while ago. I took the rifle to a gun smith to smooth up the trigger. I had talked about thinking the barrel was a lined affair. It is NOT! It is a one piece barrel. The lathe work in turning down the barrel on my gun just left a place that looked like a joint with a sharp edge. The target crown is also diffrent than most rifles. The cut does not come out to the edge of the barrel as far as most target crowns. I was wrong about the barrel being a lined barrel. I also wanted to comment on how dirty and heavily greased the inner workings of the gun were when I took it apart. There was so much grease I could not believe it. I know the gun will work better without that heavy dirty grease.
