This document provides a detailed guide for the field stripping and reassembly of the Rossi Model 92 firearm. The primary function of this guide is to assist users in disassembling the rifle for cleaning, maintenance, or inspection, and then reassembling it correctly. It outlines a step-by-step process, accompanied by illustrative images, to ensure proper handling and prevent loss of small parts.
The Rossi Model 92 is a lever-action rifle, and this guide focuses on its field stripping, which is the process of disassembling the firearm into its major components for routine cleaning and maintenance. The guide's function is to provide clear, sequential instructions for this process, ensuring that users can safely and effectively take apart and put back together their rifle. This is crucial for maintaining the firearm's reliability, accuracy, and longevity. Regular field stripping allows for the removal of carbon buildup, old lubricants, and any foreign debris that could impede the rifle's operation. It also facilitates inspection of critical components for wear or damage. The reassembly instructions are equally important, as incorrect reassembly can lead to malfunctions or unsafe operation.
The disassembly process begins with the removal of the butt stock, which requires unscrewing the tang screw. This initial step provides access to internal components. A key feature of the disassembly is the management of the main spring. Users are instructed to pull back the hammer until a small hole in the main spring rod is visible, into which a small nail or pin should be inserted. This action is critical to prevent the main spring from "flying off" due to its stored energy, highlighting a safety and practical consideration.
Following this, the bolt pin stop screw is removed, and the bolt pin is driven out from the right side using a small punch. The guide explicitly states that the bolt pin only comes out from right to left, and reassembly occurs in the reverse order, emphasizing directional importance for these components.
Further steps involve manipulating the lever to expose the locking bolts. The lever is pulled down part way to open the bolt slightly, allowing the locking bolts to protrude from the bottom of the receiver. This enables the user to see and remove the screws located in the left locking bolt. Subsequently, the locking bolt stop pin screw is removed from the left locking bolt, followed by the removal of the locking bolt pin itself. Both locking bolts can then be pulled from the receiver.
The guide then details the removal of the lever, cautioning the user to be careful not to lose the ejector, ejector spring, and ejector collar. These parts are noted to come out from the front of the breechbolt assembly and are described as having a "loose fit," indicating a need for careful handling.
The hammer screw, which also serves as the lower tang screw, is then removed. This "double duty" screw is an important design feature. The lower tang is removed by holding the trigger back and pulling the tang straight back from the receiver. A crucial warning is given here: "be careful not to loose the pin that the trigger pivots on. This pin is normally a loose fit." This highlights a common point of loss for small, critical parts during firearm disassembly.
The hammer assembly is then removed, followed by the breechbolt, which slides straight back from the receiver. The ejector, ejector spring, and ejector collar are again mentioned, with a reminder to carefully remove them from the front of the bolt, as they come out from the front of the breechbolt assembly.
The final step in the detailed disassembly involves removing the two carrier screws and then the carrier itself. The guide notes that normally, further disassembly is not required, but mentions that other parts like the cartridge stop, cartridge guides, and loading gate can also be removed if necessary, again cautioning against losing small springs or parts.
The entire guide serves as a maintenance feature, enabling users to perform routine cleaning and inspection. By providing a structured approach to disassembly, it allows for thorough cleaning of internal mechanisms, removal of debris, and application of fresh lubricants. The emphasis on not losing small parts and carefully handling components directly supports effective maintenance, as missing or damaged parts can compromise the rifle's function. The guide implicitly supports the longevity of the firearm by facilitating proper care.
Reassembly is instructed to be performed in the reverse order of disassembly. The guide specifically highlights that "Assembling the bolt, ejector, and lever can be a tough job," indicating a potential challenge for users. To aid in this, specific steps are provided:
While the document does not list explicit technical specifications like caliber or weight, it implicitly reveals aspects of the Rossi Model 92's design and construction through the disassembly process:
In summary, this guide is a practical, user-focused manual for the field stripping and reassembly of the Rossi Model 92. It prioritizes clarity, safety, and attention to detail, enabling owners to effectively maintain their firearm.
