About a month ago I bought a Rossi model 92 stainless in .44mag. Loading was a major pain, could not seem to get more than 4-5 cartridges into the rifle, they would bind up in the loading gate area. Also had some feeding issues. So I ordered a stainless magazine follower hoping the cheapo plastic factory follower was to blame, not so much. Did not really make too much of a difference.
It still binds up when feeding and now if I have 4 or so in the mag and cycle the lever it will feed the first just fine, then will eject the first but that is where it stops. It will not no matter now soft, hard or frequent I cycle the lever allow the next cartridge to release from the mag. The only way to get them out is to remove the screw on the front of the mag, pull the spring and dump em.
Is this a common issue with these rifles? Am I going to have to send it back to the factory or how does Rossi's warranty work. I bought the gun NIB from Gander, they have a smith on sight is this something Gander would fix? (yes I will make my calls but hoping someone here has direct experience and could offer pointers)
I am not a newb to shooting or levers at all and am capable of doing minor repairs and adjustments myself, would much rather be able to take care of it at home than send back and wait ect, ect.
