Re: Rossi Customer Service Evaluation
The first step is using the proper tip that fits precisely with absolutely no free play ........lots of amateur gunsmiths fall down in this department with a track record of buggered screw heads conspicuous on every gun they own.
My machinist/gunsmith/welder friend uses an electric impact type screwdriver that vibates the tip at very high frequency which shatters the epoxy & loctite bonds between metal objects including screw and receivers. I'll have to get the particulars of who makes it when next I have occassion to visit his shop.
If you use the red loctite you gotta be sure that the screw isn't ever coming out.

Re: Rossi Customer Service Evaluation
I like that pricedo a sonic screwdriver please get the details for us. I currently have this screwdriver set http://www.amazon.com/Wheeler-89-Piece- ... driver+set
the wheeler isn't perfect but is nice for the money compared to all the cheap bit sets I have tried before this.I also have alot of kobalt precision drivers as well. As you stated an improper fit of the tool will cause wear or damge for sure.

Re: Rossi Customer Service Evaluation
I ran a group buy a number of years ago for this set of Grace Screwdrivers plus a few more. This basic set includes drivers for all screws used on the Marlin 336 & 1895. My buy included additional drivers that are used on the Marlin 39A plus drivers for the screws used on Weaver bases and rings.
I need to return two drivers that a broken, that screws on the R92~480 Ruger did that as well as breaking the screw heads mentioned. My Rossi's which include all the models plus the CJ and handguns, use the same but few drivers than the Marlins. Rossi seems good at keeping things common to keep cost down and this applies to the screws. With the Marlin 39A set, I sent Grace every screw used on the rifle, and they made drivers for them. May be I should do this with the Rossi's? Would there be any interest?

Re: Rossi Customer Service Evaluation
Might be of interest to some. However, I bought the set of Grace bits for Win 92 from Brownells and they work great. I think Brownells even states they are for Win/Rossi 92 models.

Re: Rossi Customer Service Evaluation
I have gunsmith screw driver sets with literally dozens of bits............bin doin this for a while............started way back when the Winchester & Marlin snobs used to turn their noses up at me at the range and the only gun forums were a few loose-leaf gun runner rags.
Winchester & Marlin ............where are they now?........wholly owned rumps of their former corporate selves......as a less refined person than myself might say they are both "pimples on somebody elses b _ _ _ _ _ _ e".
