Thread: Rossi R92 puma stainless 16inch

Hey,
I am a Marlin man--I've got three original JMs in 357, 44 and 45-70. The only problem is they are still in storage in the UK.....
So, to assuage my lever cravings about 6 months ago I picked up a used 44 16in Rossi for $600 off TM. The intention was to play about with it until I get my Marlins, BUT I love this little thing!
I don't know if the previous owner(s) played with the trigger but it is slick and as light as hell (yes, my trigger pull gauge is also in storage ��)
It also has a lovely Marbles 'bullseye' sight set on it.
I'm not selling this gun despite my plans at the outset now!

So, if you can find one like mine, I'd recommend it. It's one of the 'newer' Taurus made models with a few of the bolt group bits blued rather than stainless like the bulk of the gun.

Perhaps you could answer a question on the Marlin 336 in 3030 for me? The one I had, had a free floating trigger...the first pull of the trigger flapped helplessly to and fro and I'd never seen a gun do that before or after. Almost as if there was no spring present. A gunsmith bloke in Hawkes Bay assured me that "They all do that sir". Do they..?
