It’s made to look like the sporting rifle, but it has the carbine/musket style stock and butt plate… should have the crescent style butt… Other than that and the safety, it’s a nice looking little rifle.

Heritage isn't making these rifles. they are made in Brazil under the same name as Rossi. The companies repair service is horrible. But go ahead you do you. I will hope you get a good one.

You should, since it's a Rossi M92, direct copy of the Winchester Model 92...

A look that lasts forever 😉

@@ninjackson1 Agree! I’m a happy owner of a 9410 Ranger, made in New Haven, USA!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

So Heritage is manufactured by Rossi based on your comment??

@@georgesolis603 Yes, the lever action is anyway.

@@georgesolis603 Yes, Heritage doesn't make anything by themselves. This is a rebadged Rossi M92, just like the Heritage Roscoe revolver is just a rebadged Taurus Model 85.

Picturing the 45-70 trap door action open to reveal gods smollest cartridge is giving me quite the chuckle

@atrocitusofryutt8410 it would be fun and affordable, though!

@@atrocitusofryutt8410 or just an itty bitty rifle like the mini mosin lol

A Schofield-based one would actually be quite cool.

What I was thinking ​@@Just1American1966

Winchester short rifles have the cap also. Carbine designation has the band.

Don’t need a gunsmith .. I did mine in about 20 minutes. Stevesgunz sells a little kit with everything you need

I think the ghost rings look worse than the safety on these.

@@WinnebagoBrewingCo For me it was about function. I can get on target much faster with a big aperture than the rear sight it came with.

​@guaporeturns9472 could you just take the safety off period? I don't want to put a ghost ring on and I really don't like the safety ( main reason I've never bought a rossi either).

@@carlread6029 Yes it’s easy , but you have to plug the hole. A 25 acp casing fits perfectly. I think there are a few videos on here

They will still be crap. Ive owned to many to mention and only have one that functions well. With that there customer service sucks

If made in Georgia, they won't need that silly import safety..!!

@tbcoachniblick1208 currently still made in Brazil, plans are for all 92s to be made in Georgia, maybe they'll get rid of that safety

Thanks!

I think I've seen that guy!

I’m sure it is. They’re the same company now so I’m sure the lever actions are all made in the same place.

As are the Roscoe revolvers, simply rebadged Taurus Model 85s...

Sent email to Steve

@@RedProg I replaced the safety on my Rossi R92 with this aperture sight. I have purchased a few other aftermarket accessories from Steve. I could not be more pleased, quality stuff at reasonable prices with quick delivery. I hope you are as pleased as I have been.

​@@ROE1300I appreciate you providing the info

It's not even a Heritage gun, just a rebranded Rossi.

Maybe a marketing trick for people who might not realize it’s the same thing.

I think you're right. It's also why Taurus brought their discontinued Model 85 revolver out of retirement to sell as the "new" Heritage Roscoe.

That's about $1000 I today's money

That seems extremely expensive for 1986. I think I remember my dad saying that’s what pythons were going for back then

I remember my S&W 686 cost around $370 back then, a Trooper was a bit more, and a python was up over $500

My friend was stationed at Fort Hood in the 9o's and he bought a Python for 450 at Brocks gun shop in Copperas Cove. I bought a Rossi 92 .45 Colt 20'' for 225 new at a gunshow at that time also. Still have it. I polished the action myself and cut down the ejector spring a tick too much, but still ejects fine. Hadn't shot it in years.

@@Almost_Made_It Pythons have always been a good bit out of my price range, even well-maintained used ones. I will, say this though, over the last fifty or so years I've seen many a firearm and their prices vary a lot from store to store in the same town or community. I once (around 1988 if memory serves) purchased a like new Colt's Detective Special at what was then my favorite gun store for under $150.00+tax out the door only to see, a couple of weeks later, an equally nice DS at a store only a few miles away for nearly double the price of the revolver I had purchased. Since the store I found those .44-40s at was the closest to where I lived, I was guilty more often than not, of not "price shopping" for better deals. At that particular moment I had cash money and could have afforded one or two of those rifles and maybe even a case of ammo, but I purchased something else that was so unremarkable that all I remember about it is that it was bolt action in .30-06 and that it made for excellent trading material several years later.

Nothing is cheap anymore.

What you describe is the exact opposite of “discrete”. Adj: unobtrusive, unnoticeable

@@Almost_Made_It "Discrete" definition:. adjective individually separate and distinct. Did you mispell well ackshully? And I'm happy you think other safeties are more discreet. I disagree.

@@WhatIfBrigade your reply is way more “well akktually” than mine. I was just saying that visibly seeing something while you are aiming is not DISCREET so it was strange that you would describe it as such. Also these safeties are pretty much regarded as the least DISCREET safeties on any lever gun and I don’t know many people who don’t hate the look or placement of them. You’re a special one though I guess.

@@Almost_Made_It Again, I'm happy you think so. Just remember to spell it correctly when you criticize someone and quote the definition.

@@WhatIfBrigade will do, chief.

Hogwash. Winchester NEVER made a Model 92 in .45-70. That action is too small and too weak for the big (nearly 3" long) round! .44-40 was the largest chambering Winchester released for the Model 92 until more recently, when they were offered in .44 Magnum and .45 Long Colt. The Model 92 is a revolver-cartridge action, nowhere near big or strong enough for .45-70.

@@SEO122 I am so sorry, that was a typo. It was supposed to say .44-40. Thanks for the heads up. I got to shoot it once before it was changed. The 32-20 was manufactured in February 1892. Both had octagon barrels and the large hoop levers. They were replaced with standard levers. At the time, The Rifleman was running. That weapon was a Model 92 as well. I wanted him to leave hoop on the .357 but he said too cumbersome to hunt with. I took a 4 point buck when I was 15 with the .357 mag.

I have a Rossi 92 with a 20" octagonal barrel in 45 Colt. I've had it for 10 years or longer, so they were available at one time. I also have one in 44 mag with a 24" barrel. Their offerings have changed over the years.

The 1892s have one of the strongest actions of any lever gun. Max “ruger only” loads will be no problem and some people have claimed they can withstand a continuous diet of up to 50k psi which is much more than ruger only loads go up to

I have the Rossi 92 in .357 It is stainless carbine I paid $750.00 That was about two years ago

Taurus owns Heritage as well as Rossi, so it makes sense.

Wrong action for .30-30 - WInchester Model 92s are revolver cartridge leverguns.

I guess it must be nice to afford a $1200 rifle just so it doesn't have a safety on it. Some of us have to work for the money we get and thus have to be a little more thrifty. BTW, while the Rossi 92 isn't the best gun in the world for fit and finish, it still runs pretty darned well.

@@kirkmooneyham don’t think for a second that I don’t work for every penny I have. You’d be mistaken. And I have no doubt the Rossis run good. I would want one myself. But I’m not going to have that outrageous, unnecessary eyesore on top of what otherwise is a beautiful rifle, not in need of any changes or “improvements”. Winchesters have flaws too but they aren’t really visual, more operational, but they can be dealt with if you’re willing to risk voiding any warranty.

My mistake it is a rifle with a 24” barrel

What country is the device you're using to follow this video made? I bet dollars to donuts it is not a country noted for free enterprise.

​@@RoyRealithat device is 100% made in a communist and or socialist country. The hypocrisy with people not buying guns made in a certain country because of their government is insane, considering the US is an absolute trainwreck and on its way down the same exact path really soon.

They do. Here’s their whole collection: heritagemfg.com/lever-action/lever-action-series

Did the nipple get damaged? If so, the nipple can be replaced. If not, I wouldn’t worry about it.

@@GunsOfTheWest Thank you, no it didn't, I put another cap on it and it did what it was supposed to do.

@@GunsOfTheWest I'm going to take it out again, this weekend, but I think this is going to be my pretty one, that sits on the wall mostly.

I’m not sure if that was the intent, but I had that same thought. It’s a good use for it.
