New Barrel New Problems A Few Questions
I found a new to me barrel for my full size Rossi. Problem one, it is the older A Rossi and it’s a 17 HMR. I haven’t attempted to put it on my R44 (44 mag) frame yet. Mainly because the ejector is stuck in the outward position. It’s also got a plug screw stripped so I can t mount a scope

Had to take an AR build to gunsmith so I took the barrel too, pretty easy to close ejector. He gonna try to get plug screw out

I am glad to hear sorry there were no answers to help. I don't think many on here have the single shot rifles. Keep us posted on how it goes.

They have a place I just think Rossi reputation has scared off many to the point that not many were made from lack of demand is all.

It worked. Got one inch groups at 100 yards and a little smaller at 50 with a Tasco 24X World Class. The bore was dirty when I bought it and even worse now because my bore snake for 17 cal does not fit this barrel or my contender in 17 Rem. This is the same rifle before and after barrel change. 17 HMR with 24x Tasco and other photo is 44 Mag with TruGlo Red Dot.

The 24X scope is a bit much for a cheap rifle like this. At least I know the barrel and scope work
