Look what I got for $100 today! A Rossi lever-action .357/.38 special.



I have not fired it yet but it is in great shape! Does anyone else here have or have fired a .357 rifle?

 

[Sharpdogs]

I am beyone jealous. I have been wanting one for a very long time. I do not know of any .357 lever action owners who are unhappy with their rifles. You got that for $100! That is a steal.

 

[Highlander]

I thought I stole it too. I know the person who sold it to me and he had owned it for some time. What are they worth?

 

[Sharpdogs]

The Marlins and Winchesters are worth more, especially if you can get one with a 16 inch barrel. The Rossi's should go for $350+, possibly more if it is the shorter 16 barrel. The wood stock on yours looks great. As far as I can see it's a keeper.

I've got a model 94 in 357 and I love it! Great little gun. Do Rossi's get the "Marlin Jamn" also? I've got just a touch of one in mine, still need to fix it, haven't found the time yet.

 

[Highlander]

This one has the 16" barrel. It seems finicky on ejection. I have to hold it upright and near level to empty it. Is that the "Marlin Jam?"

 

[tnrick55]

you want your money back lol

 

[Ric_Knight]

Congrats, I am looking for something like that for my wife and I to share.

I have an uberti lever action in .357 and a 24in barrel that i just love btw what exactly is the "marlin jam"?

 

[Nomad 2nd]

Put a williams or ashly peep on it and shoot the hell out of it!

 

[Rifleman336]

The Marlin jam is a affixation that affects only Marlin 1894 actions, where a little channel is worn in to the carrier over time as lever is locked home. What happens is it lets in two rounds in to the carrier causing a jam. It's fixable, but marlin should be the one fixing it in production not afterword.

The Rossi 1892 are not effected by this. The only downside to the 1892 is it's complicated takedown and reassembly for cleaning. Other than that it's a great levergun.

i have a rossi 92 in .357/.38. i love it, i pretty sure it is my favorite gun i own. .357 outta alonger barrell is mean. try shooting a gallon milk jug filled with water. it blows right the hell up!!!!!!!!!!! light weight, short, handy, fun nothing to dislike!

 

[JRNC26]

Good buy.buy lots of ammo and shoot the crap out of it

 

[ClemY]

My .357 rifle is a Marlin 1894C. It has a Williams Foolproof rear sight with a post front sight. But it did cost a little more than $100. Sounds like you got a terrific deal.

 

[YOTE KILLA]

just looked a a rossi 357 with 16 barrel around here they cost 500$ my dad has one and it is the best shooting gun ever that thing is very accurite i love the darn thing cant wait till i can get one , unless you want to sell it ill even give you a extra hundy for your time !!! yote killa !!!!

 

[shotgunken]

i'm envoyus i paid $400 for mine and sold it, what a mistake that was.

 

[roncar]

TNRick said a $100
YOTE KILLA added a extra $100
I could probably go $300 and I'm just across town from you.

 

[Highlander]

Thanks for the offers everyone. I am flattered. But I think I will keep this one. There is just something about it that feels right. Don't know what it is. I just feel connected to it. Weird, huh?

 

[roncar]

Highlander-Now you're sounding weird. Better take my $300 and use if for a "shrink".
Enjoy the rifle.

A .357 lever action is on my wish list.
