In 2009 Taurus acquired Rossi and took over the distribution under the Braztech name. From about 2000 to 2006 the EMF imported Rossi 92's without the top bolt safety, but rifles from 2006-2009 have it, which seems to establish when that feature became standard on the US imports. and FI guns had some rough machining and feeding problems, while later 1980s imports made for Navy Arms, EMF, and Interarms, were better executed, and functioned reliably, if remaining “a bit rough until they had been run in a bit.”ĭuring the mid to late 90’s, EMF imported Armi San Marco Italian made 92's. Guns imported by EMF, LSI and Interarms were more utilitarian, but were rugged and serviceable.Įarly Garcia Corp. The rifles imported by Navy Arms were as well fitted and finished as original Winchesters and featured American walnut stocks. Rossi also made Winchester 92 clones for Navy Arms, EMF, and LSI. Rossi-made 92s produced for Interarms were the first ones to be marked with the Puma trademark, a homage to the Spanish El Tigre. In 1975 Interarms of Alexandria, VA took over the US import rights to the Rossi product line. From 1968-74 FI’s successor, Garcia Corporation took over importation and that was when the first.
At first the Rossi Model 65 SRC was imported only in those calibers being produced for the South American market. If you don't want to drill and tap receiver for a Lyman peep, there are Euro replacement sights which fit the 10mm dovetail which you can find on EvilBay.įirearms International of Washington DC first imported Rossi firearms into the US in the 1960’s. Rear sight dovetail is 10mm instead of US 3/8" Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated! They are not great as it was late and I was in a hurry. I'll remove that.Īnyway here are a few pics I took last night. There is some kinda funky grey traction material on the steel butt plate. Does anyone make sights that will fit? I sold all my tang sights to my brother missionary5155! LOL Oi don't think I want a tang sight on this one anyway. I have read else were that the older Rossi 92's have a bigger sight dovetails. If The gun shoots well enough I will change out the sights and see about slicking up the action a bit. The only thing I don't like are the sights. I love the way it looks with the darker wood and light handling marks. You can tell it has not been broken in yet. It's in real good condition and the action is still nice and tight. The seller tells me his brother was the original owner and it was fired very little. I dont even know what this Puma business is all about. Maybe the 1980's? That is my first question, how do you date one of these babies? Is it a "Puma"? There is no Puma anywhere on it. It's an Amadeo Rossi Made in Brazil, imported by Interarms and chambered in 44 Magnum.
