I have Rossi .357 in blue. It is out of "warranty". It's driving me nuts. After the magazine tube is loaded the loading gate pops out and causes the action to jam up. It seems to be caused by two issues. Or one of them is causing the other.. I don't know.
1. The loading gate being able to peek out of the receiver. Seems like it is too short compared to other 1892 pattern rifles I have used.
2. The cartridge stop is not actually holding the rounds in the tube or does a poor job of it,. It does have spring tension but it doesn't seem to be able to be far enough over to hold them in. Sometimes it does but under spirited levering it'll spit a live round out with the empty.
Running .38's in it makes it 10 times worse.
Any insight you all can give me to help in getting it running?
