I'm thinking about a Rossi carbine.

How's the quality these days?

Do they jam like Marlin leverguns?

Any rust issues?

Thanks

I know the Rossi is a copy of the Winchester 92. Which is an excellent design, but it's not a Winchester. I can't speak to the quality of the Rossi firearm.

 

As for Marlin's jamming, I have used and shot some for decades and have had no such experience. I've shot friends' 1894's and Winchester 94's in the smaller calibers like .357 Mag. & .44 Mag. and never experienced a hangup. My friend shoots his M94 .44 Mag. in 3-gun events and it performs flawlessly.

I've sold a few Rossi's, customers were happy with the guns
