Do any of you have any experience with the new stainless version of the ROSSI 454, WITH REMOVABLE MAGAZINE TUBE FOR loading and unloading? With various loads 454/45 COLT.
IIRC the old ones had that that feature too, but I'll have to check mine when I'm at home to be sure. Perhaps I'm mixing it up with the Henry's.Do any of you have any experience with the new stainless version of the ROSSI 454, WITH REMOVABLE MAGAZINE TUBE FOR loading and unloading?

Not confusing, handy for unloading without jacking through the action. Some people like thatI wasn't aware that Rossi made one with the removable mag tube and had to check it out. My question is, what purpose does it serve to have the loading gate and mag tube together? I mean, if that's what you like go for it, but it's just a bit confusing to me.

yeah my understanding is that they only made 100 480’s so the price is up there where I cannot afford anymore. When and if Ray wants to sell I can work a part trade with him.saw one on gunbroker, but you would have to check that out. Since I am not interested in that model, can not remember if it was new or used
There, fixed it. Show me ( ^^^^^ ) said similar. I've never had the tube come adrift in a .44 Mag Marlin '94, nor in a number of '92s, but it does puzzle me what holds such things together.But the 454 also has the tube to screw into the frame instead of pressed in as the recoil impulse is much greater.
The Rossi 30-30s will unload the mag tube by pressing down on the loading gate and the round will "pop" out one by one.Not sure when they started back up, but a couple reviews also stated the tube mag is screwed into the receiver too, and that makes sense, with the power generated by the 454 round.
when I looked at their site, was listed along with the new Marlin look a like 30-30. I wish they would make that with the removable mag tube, so the loads could be dumped out instead of cranking
rounds thru the receiver
