92 feed problems
« on: January 23, 2010, 02:56:25 PM »
Took the 92 carbines out today with some pmc 158gr jsp. The new emf loaded great, but my older rossi wouldn't feed. The feed angle was too steep but if I backed it off it would pop level then slide in when finished the lever.

Any thoughts? Do I have a weak feed spring? :scratching head:

Is it a 38 or 357 and does it do it with other ammo? It might be that the OAL of that cart. is to long, I know in my 454 m-92 it's real picky about OAL and wont chamber a round that is to long.
an unloaded wepon is equal to the same mass and volume as a rock.

TN, I have a Rossi imported by Navy Arms. Slick little rifle with walnut stocks. I had to cut a new ejector, and while I had it apart I re cut the extractor HOWEVER! It doesn't feed semi wad cutters well, but is as slick as snot on a door knob with the round you posted IN 357 mag. It CAN occasionally hang a little with the same bullet on 38 special, but rarely.
Are you snappin the action all the way open or could you be short strokin it?
