    Rossi lever action first round cartridge loading issue

    Hi to all

    I am currently assessing a Rossi lever action (357/38 special) for purchase and have experienced an issue whereby the first round does not properly feed as the cartridge comes out of the tube on an angle and the loading ramp does not engage. When I straightened the cartridge up (with a small screwdriver) the ramp then engages and the other nine rounds will cycle into the action properly.

    I have used two different makes of 38 special ammo and the problem persists (but only on the first round.

    Does anyone have an idea what the issue might be?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
