Hello everyone,

Just found this forum yesterday and joined right away because of a new Braztech/Taurus blued .357 M92 I purchased about a week ago & have (& will have) many questions/comments about it.

I live in west Tx & already had 4 Marlin leverguns. 336/30-30, 1895/45-70, 1894/.45 Colt, & 1894/.44 mag.
I have used the .45 Colt in silhouette competition before but not lately. Lately I just use it to punch paper.

Was never interested in the .357 caliber in a levergun & always thought it a waste of money but have come to appreciate it over the years after reading so many neat experiences about them from other owners. Recently, I had the opportunity to get one for a moderately decent price so I jumped in.

Welcome, I have the m92 20" in .357 blued and after slicking her up and adding a new follower I am pleased. Great value if you take your time to get them broken in or tune them and slick them yourself.
Keep us posted.

Yeah, forgot to mention that mine has a 20" barrel also and is stamped as a model "R92" & not M92 like I originally posted (whatever the difference is). Right now I have my rifle all disassembled for the purpose of cleaning the original gritty grease from all the parts & to remove as many metal burrs as I can. I'm waiting on a spring kit from Brownells to arrive before putting it back together. Looking forward to seeing how she works after the cleaning.

Thanks Ranch. Looking forward to exchanging information about the Rossi levergun here.
