After a 14 month wait, Steve Young, the lever action guru gunsmith down in Texas finally finished my Rossi 92. He started with a stock .357 Rossi 92 in stainless steel and worked his action job magic on it. Then he bead blasted the stainless steel for a more worn, antiqued finish and made several other changes, including replacing the safety with his peep sight.
Tuesday, I break it in!

That's really slick! I hope it shoots as good as it looks.

Nice.

Nice BB! Did he do anything to the stock?

Nope. The stock is stock. I didn't want to fancy it up because this is going to be a reliable working gun, not a safe queen. I expect to get this scratched and dinged hauling it through brush and other nasty stuff. I figure it'll just give it more character.
I am shopping for a simple 1" leather sling for it and so far narrowed it down to a Levy's Leathers oil-tanned 1" sling...

But I'd rather have a screwed loop adjustment rather than a buckle adjustment. Can anyone else recommend a good basic sling maker?

Maybe someone in the Leatherwork thread can help you out.
FWIW
