Rossi recoil pad

[TSchwab25]

Does anyone know where to get a recoil pad replacement for a rossi r92? Right now its just a curved steel plate but I'm looking for either a replacement for it, or a slip on pad to go over it, I do want to increase lop by about an inch as the gun is pretty short.

Maybe something here may help.

I am not a skilled wood worker, but one who is, could shape a wood insert that would fill that stupid crescent on one side, but leave a flat surface on the other. I think that is the best solution, you could fill the crescent, and then screw a solid rubber buttpad to the insert.

this guy squared the end of the buttplate.

Gunsmithing: replacing a curved steel butt plate with a rubber recoil pad

Many older rifles and shotguns have metal or Bakelite butt plates. Sometimes they are curved as well. While this is a nice touch, often times replacement parts are hard if not impossible to come by…

here are some ideas on shaping a pad to fit the curve

Your best bet is to purchase the butt stock for the .454 R92 which comes with an effective pad.

The Rossi Puma R92 is a near clone of a Winchester 1892. The steel crescent butt plate is an authentic touch as the Winchester 1892 to my limited knowledge never had a rubber pad, it had either a curved steel plate or in some cases a straight steel plate.

There are no commercial pads that fit, I have been through this with my R92 .44 Magnum. A gentleman on the MOF gave me his original stock and a buitt pad from the Rossi store on the Rossi website that he had purchased. He had cut his stock to remove the curved butt surface but the pad just did not fit the profile. He also gave me his orignal forward stock.

I plan to, already began the work, to add a small spacer section of stock (a piece from an old derelict stock I had laying around of no value). I will peg that piece and then use epoxy with micro-balloons to glue it on. Then I will reshape the entire piece to mate up with the gifted Rossi .454 butt pad. I will paint both the butt stock and fore stock black to match and to hide the wood work as there is no way to make the grain match. And of course set my original parts aside. It will be into the summer before I complete my "black" stock set with pad due to travel commitments and family business. But I am making headway .

My rifle left bruises on my arm after a short range session using standard Winchester White Box ammo. And I am not recoil adverse, the .44 Magnum has some punch. Until I get my new stock finished I am using home loads with the Hornady 240 XTP bullet and 10.0 grains of Unique powder producing 1200 FPS. Tolerable.



Problem with being authentic, as the CAS prefer and who purchase many R92 rifles, is that back in the olden times the .44-40 and .38-40 where quite anemic rounds compared to a .44 Magnum or todays hot loaded .45 Colt. It looks good, but it is painful with full power loads.

Perhaps you could re-work one of these to fit: https://www.sarcoinc.com/ruger-10-22-extended-buttplate/

I am no help on a replacement but bought a very nice leather wrap around one made by Tourbon for mine a few years ago. I found it on Amazon but have no idea if it is still available. My issue was to add length but found the recoil reduction to be nice when shooting full house 357 loads. The Rossi stocks are somewhat small and I found little then that wasn't too large to fit.

The .454 Rossi stock with pad is about an inch longer than the standard stock with the curved steel plate. Interestingly, I was able to handle a 1930's 1892 (.44-40) Winchester and a 1948 1894 (.30-30) and the stocks of these rifles match closely the length of pull, drop and general shape of the Rossi R92 stock with steel plate. The Winchester steel plate is beveled on the edges whereas the Rossi plate is a 90 degree. It would be easy to bevel the edge but not sure that alone is enough to knock the edge off the .44 Magnum's bite.

Will that stock be the same color as my original stock? Mine seems quite red-ish compared to the 454 pictures ive seen. If not, would the 454 forend fit on the 44 mag?

The likelyhood of a perfect match and a perfect fit diminishes with the age of the rifle. That would be my guess. Thus my decision to pursue using the gifted stock set to craft a black set, with pad! The one .454 stock I have seen was the same grain and staining as the rifle in my picture.

Okay, my gun is nearly brand new but the stock seems to want to slide around and slip off my shoulder and its just way too short for me. Thank you for the help, I think I'm going to buy a 454 stock for it

Curiosity question:

How much recoil do these pistol round rifles generate? They're so uncommon where I am that I have no clue.

Well, I have three Marlin 1895 rifles and I have routinely shot bear level "Marlin" loads from them and think them rather mild. The Rossi at 5.3 pounds, steel plate and .44 Magnum WWB or Hornady LR has a recoil that left deep purple bruises on my shoulder and arm. Generally recoil does not bother me. But a light rifle and magnum loads, yes, it is not enjoyable. Standing or sitting.
