Thanks for the support.

glad it helped. enjoy

Yup. Is like shooting a 12 gauge..

Recoil is part of the fun!

To me the 44 mag is a low recoil caliber, in the same class than the .223 and .357 To start feeling something on a rifle you need to go with .308 or way bigger (45-70 for lever action), 44 mag can have recoil but you need to put it into a handgun.

The citadel and rossi are the same. They order from the same company

glad it helped, happy shooting

Thanks!

sorry, YT wont let me link to firearm related things

I have seen them on eBay or if your in NZ gun city have them. you will have to get it bored out for calibre and threaded correctly

That sucks. My inital one has the same issue, but it was movable by hand out of the box. The replacement has been perfect. It groups very well and has held up to recoil with no issues, and i have put a fair few rounds through it now. I did loctite the new one before i mounted the red dot. But then again I loctite everything and put witness marks on too.

Yes the rail needs loctite, so does the and gaurd screws. Thats ussally the first thing I do with a new firearm & a full strip, clean & lube. My first rifle was so bad out of the box the rail was falling off (can been seen in my inital review video). Roughtly how much weight did you add? I imagine it balancese better too. Group is not bad for a red dot, its about the same as what i got with 240gr holow points. glad your enjoying the videos

Took the plastic stock off, weighs 490 grams

Its just like any other M-Lok handgaurd, but is not free float. It would be impossible to free float one on a 92 receiver. Its very strong but the offset mlok is not 45deg like on most AR handgaurds. Check my setup video to see what I mean

Hi, they are the same rifle apart from furniture. My levtac is stamped 'Made in Brazil by CBC' aka Rossi. Your dealer is partialy correct, Citadel makes it 1911's in the Philipines. The painted wood stock and the cerakote would be a step up if your not worried about m-lok. Thanks for your support!

@@pyrate_nz Great thanks for your reply. Yes the M lok is a nice feature but the finish on the Citadel has me a little worried since most "bluing" coming out of Brazil now is cold black oxide(horrible) and at least the triple black is ceracoated(which honestly is not a great quality ceracoate either) which is better than the Oxide. If you can clarify for me if your rifle is actually blued that will be great. If it is I may pick up the Citadel. There are less complaints about the Citadel than the Triple Black which is odd(since they are the same rifle). Maybe there are just more Triple Blacks distributed than Citadels. I have two traditional R92's but they are heavily gun smithed by a pro and I was hoping to be out of the box with this sample and just shoot it. But the likelihood unfortunately with this brand even after the revetting of their manufacturing is a gamble. Legacy proved even more suspect because they don't even know the origin of the firearm they are distributing and could not even clarify weather it is blued or Oxide, which makes me question their warranty if they stand by their product(seeing how they only have base knowledge of it). Taurus/Rossi on the other hand(which is actually here in Georgia where I am) albeit a life time warranty, have some pretty flakey gun Smith's and it's a bit of a crap shoot weather they actually fix your firearm if you send it in. This conjecture is based on two U tube channels: "Johnny Shoots Allot" whom I know and the other"Gun Sam Revolver Aficionado", who has a great channel for revolvers and reloading. They have both had marginal and documented warranty experiences with Taurus/Rossi. Honestly if I could get my hands on a Marlin or a Henry Side Loader I'd be done "turd polishing" but they are unobtainable. Thanks again for your hard work subbed BTW 👍

mine is black oxide. it has been done well. i would rather have a good back oxcide over a poor cerakote job. thanks 4 the sub

@@pyrate_nz Well the saga ended😂 Seller told me after they changed my order to the Citadel it was actually out of stock. It was either back to the 92 or for a few hundred more S&W 6" 629, I took the easy road the S&W. Thanks for all the info and support.

Closing. With the bolt closed (empty or loaded) the next round is sitting half out of the mag tube. The case rim sits inline with the notch on the loading gate. Hope this helps

they are the same rifle underneath. just diffrent furniture. so it a personal prefrence

the 357 is 1/2x28 and the 44 & 45 are 37/64x28. It was a cheap 223 brake I had on and AR. Started life as 1/2x28 but because I have the 44 I bored it out and re tapped it. Search "223 muzzle brake" on ebay and it comes up

im sure they are LaRue, ive had a big pack for years, branding has worn off the package so i cant be sure. Thanks

just be thankful you still live in a free country. We cant have Semi CF rifles anymore, so we enjoys rifles like this!

@@pyrate_nz That sucks. Move to Texas. We welcome people who like guns.

@@mikepaul3200 if it gets any worse, I might have to

@@pyrate_nz Its getting retarded everywhere. I figure well be ass deep in ukraine by october. Bidens last chance to offset the red wave thats coming.

This takes you to Limbsaver's website. you will have to find a local stockist. I cant link to most as they also sell firearms. limbsaver.com/products/classic-grind-to-fit-recoil-pad

Mine was pretty good out of the box. The only spring I have changed is the ejector, factory one throws brass for a mile & if you reload that sucks. The action is fairly slick and a quick poilsh of the sear and trigger and your away. I would try it first as see what you dont like.

@@pyrate_nz Thanks for that. I have a spring kit here already waiting for it. Ejector spring for sure from everything I have read, also hammer spring and maybe chop the magazine spring too. Looking forward to testing it out

just a cheap one from a local gun store, no brand. I bored in out and rethreaded as it was for a 223

With I bit of luck it's just needs a clean. You could have a sticky follower etc. You many also need to be a bit more aggressive in your operation of the lever. As you can get the 1st round to load it's unlikely to be something major. There is nothing that trips when fired.

Ok good to know, are you still planning on making a cleaning video on the levtac in future would i need to strip it all down or is it possible to do with just the slide open would you say? Just a bit nervous to strip it down as i havnt before

if you check out my playlist for the levtac I have a disassembly and re-assembly video. kzfaq.info/sun/PL1DaalhTEyGCCxYMAMSIWN0rxIwGs8LcC

Ive found the issue but unsure the solution i think i will need to go into a gun smith, its to do with the carrier. Once the mag is loaded theres a round on the carrier already and it can feed that round fine but once you close the bolt the carrier doesnt retract all the way down to feed a new round onto it. if i really crank the handle every 3 or 4 it will load a round. I dont understand the mechanism enough to know a fix. For now if i open the mag gate arfter each round it pushes the carrier down to load another round. Looking at the manual it may be a pin or spring in the carrier.

if you just brought it, I would be taking it back. the lifter sould be pushed back down by the lever when the action is closed. it could be the the lifter or lever is out of spec.

Yes, the world has.
