Its a Rossi/Puma in .38/.357 hexagonal barrel with color case blueing on the receiver. Very smooth action for a factory gun but I do intend to smooth it out a bit and maybe replace the lawyer lock.
New lever gun in the heard

That little tab sticking up just in front of the hammer is the saftey. Why ya need a saftey on a lever gun with a half rooster confuses me :roll: Had to be a lawyers idea :lol:Schultz said:

Nice rifle, LG! 
Looks like a shorter barrel, is it an 18 incher? I always liked the shorter lever action rifles. How many cartridges can it hold(not counting one in the pipe, that is)?

Its the 20in barrel and it holds 8 rds. Its a bit heavy with the hectigonal barrel. But it is damn accurate. 2in group seated at 35 yards. I am sure better hands and eyes could do better.

Last week I had it at Shooters in Asheville. The damn thing is VERY accurate. The works need a little buffing but it is not nearly as rough as some other now juns I tested. It is a bit top heavy but managable and the recoil is almost not noticeable.Chili said:

Not to shabby...if that's at 100 yards then in is quite good. If not pickens then maybe up here to Andy's place.
I see the distance now. That is still good...is that with .38 ?

Ya, it at 50 yards with 38 special. I am not so good a shot with that gun yet. I think the gun will do better, the fault is mine.Bow_breaker said:
A day at Andy' s would be great. Have not been to see him in quite a while. I forgot you lived over there. I was thinkin you lived near the other Steves.

I've got a Puma '92 lever, 20" bbl, in 44-40, great handy, accurate, little shooter. Gun was not very expensive but the ammo sure as heck is. If anybody ever thought 45-70 was the price of an arm and a leg, try to find 44-40, bx of 50 for under 65.00. ( full power hunting loads ) That is my only compaint about the rifle.
