Hey,
Does anyone know how Rossi 92 M-LOK works? I purchased from Ranger Point Precision and need a little guidance from your side.

Hey,
After shelling out nearly 200 clams for something that I was clueless about, I'd contact the seller.... possibly for a refund!

Interesting accessory! I see that the RPP website graciously offers installation instructions . . . For the trigger, not the handguard. Yeah, I’d be calling RPP.

The M-lok forend apparently comes with a special R92 rear barrel band, which serves as a mounting platform to attach it to the rifle. Since the M-LOK replaces the OEM forend, you'll have to remove both barrel bands and the forend. I would expect it to be pretty straight-forward after that.

At the very least somebody needs to inform them that their installation instructions point to the trigger installation...HarryAlonzo wrote:Interesting accessory!

As for installing the handguard they claim it ought to take about 5 minutes.
It appears that they decided the tolerances on Rossi guns over the course of about 50 odd years were broad enough that they machined it thin at the rear and added some rubber wedges there. It mentions using the "RPP barrel band and screws" as mounting hardware so I'd assume they included that for the front end since they don't seem to sell those separately.
IF you get instructions from them you might post them on this thread.

Re: Rossi 92 M-LOK Aluminum Handguard
So my guess based on looking at some vids is you have to remove the old handguard.
That probably means taking off the mag tube and barrel bands.
Replace the middle barrel band with the RPP barrel band.
The rear of the handguard installs under the flange of the front of the receiver. Probably a separate hanger part, might be preinstalled as part of the handguard. Uses rubber bumpers/shims to tighten up the fit that are probably integral to the hanger.
The front of the handguard screws into the sides of the barrel band.
I'm guessing you have to finagle the mag tube into place before the replacement barrel band at the front of the handguard is secured.

Henry installation:
Midwest vs. RPP: (Not enough details.)

Y'all did better than me. I don't understand the question.
