I recently acquired a original Rossi SA 22 pump rifle from a gun collector that has never been fired. I am trying to find the value of it
It is in mint condition

In reply to Michael Summers. Unfortunately, I'm unfamiliar with that model

I bought a used Rossi snub-nosed in 357. It looks exactly like the Model 462. It was manufactured in Jan 2000 in Brazil by Taurus. The serial number has no letters (all numbers) and is not listed in the Rossi recall of the 461/462. The model number is 876, but I can’t find any other info on this model. I called Rossi and got the date, but they couldn’t tell me how it was different from the 462. Any knowledge of this model? Also, when did Rossi stop making handguns?

Rare article on Rossi, however no mention of handguns. I have collected quite a few early revolvers and I am quite pleased with their performance as a mid range priced gun. Most of my revolvers are in excellent condition but I have no way of dating their DOB. Is there any source you can that would give me this information?
Thank you
Paul

I bought a Rossi R92 in .44 mag and got it on 4/30/20. The first time I shot it, I used .44 mag. 240 grain ammo.
WAY TOO MUCH for that small frame gun. Shot 20 rounds with it and felt like I was kicked by a mule and putting my shoulder out of place. Switched to .44 special 200 grain and it was perfect. I’ve taken it out with my Henry. 22 LR lever action and discovered there is a “comfort feel” difference in holding the 2 different rifles. I realized that, though the Rossi shoots well, the stock is about an inch shorter than the Henry, which makes the Henry just a bit more comfortable to hold and aim. I suggest that the stock for the Rossi be extended by about an inch. The Rissi’s stock is also “squared” on the top as opposed to rounded like the Henry.
Extending the stock just a bit and rounding the top of the stock on the R92 would, in my opinion, make it perfect!

I have a Rossi .357 that was bought in about 1985. Shot it n put it away for years. Took it on a trip a month ago and shot it once. It split the case in half about midway and left half in barrel. Took it out today to see what I could find and it splits about 1 out of 3 in half. Then some are just cracked, but not split all the way. It’s Fiocchi 147gr ammo. Rossi said they wouldn’t touch it as it was made prior to their ownership of the company.
I’m looking for some help on this or I’ll have to saw the barrel off so someone doesn’t blow it up in their face if I can’t resolve this issue. If there are any ideas, send them please. The gun hasn’t been fired more than….maybe 20 times.

Gun model/serial is 92SRC/K055868
