so can the winchester, everyone makes a huge deal out of stripping down a 92, but in reality it takes all of 3-4 minutes.and the Marlin can be cleaned from the breech,..

A friend has a SS 92' Rossi . Stupid thing would run even 38 WC as fast as you could shuck it but nothin' doin' ina 357 case . I did the defarb on the inside and it would run 357 WC . You could manage 357 with some jiggly manipulation of the lever or rolling it on its side .
It also didn't matter if the cases nickel or brass .

...they finally went back and talked to Rossi [then listened] and things started turning around again...

That short sight radius and open sights is a weakness. Figured a Williams receiver sight designed for a '94 would be easy enough to mount up, but the front sight is not removeable and I never mounted a peep sight on a lever gun that didn't require a new front sight height...
i've seen some talk about the new revolver, but ain't taken any real interest in one.
i have an older Rossi in 357 and it's been a good gun over the years.
my only complaint is 2 of the cylinders are a touch off from the others.
not a mile but enough to notice, then again IIRC i paid like 179$ for the thing.
Rich, if the front sight is incorporated with the barrel band, I think Steve's Gunz sels band/sight combinations in different heights. Too, he has a ghost ring rear sight, that I recently installed on my Uberti 1866, but have yet to shoot. However, sighting across the street it is a far better setup than the factory semi-buckhorn.. . . but the front sight is not removeable and I never mounted a peep sight on a lever gun that didn't require a new front sight height.
I looked for years,and finally found a 357 marlin 1894,,born on 1982.with peep sight,,it shoots clay pigeons 50 yards,,with boring regularity!!the 24" rifles are sweeet, and stupidly hard to find.
i only have a blued round barrel carbine in 357 but it is pretty much the perfect 100yd. truck gun.
as in i can whip it around the truck almost like a pistol, and whatever i shoot at better not be within 100yds. if it wants to live.
I don't know why I never owned an m1 carbine. I've shot a couple and they felt very natural in my hands. Rebarreling one in a rimless 357 using a 223 case seems like a good idea.Apparently Howa made these M1 Carbine Sporters in the 1960s.
I never knew about them until the day I bought it from a coworker for $400.
I brought it and its leatherette case into the house and Wife picked it up, shouldered it a couple of times and said “It’s mine!”
It’s a very good gun.
The action is unable to take the pressure. IMI once converted M1 carbines to 357 Magnum with a pump action, not semiauto. While they would take a proof load, within a couple of hundred rounds the lugs set back into the action. The larger case of the .223 would only make it worse.I don't know why I never owned an m1 carbine. I've shot a couple and they felt very natural in my hands.
