Puma/Rossi lever action rifles: can you install a Loop lever?

[tomshilling]

Very hard to find any loop lever actions in Rossi or Puma... but I have seen the Loop lever as an accessory for other brands, priced about $100. Apparently it's not a difficult mod to make.

Any suggestions for modifying the Rossi/Puma lever actions so they become loop lever-actions? Brands or links for finding a loop lever that will fit?

I read somewhere that they used to be offered, but no longer, and I'd love to pick one up but would prefer the larger loop lever over the standard lever.

Thanks for any suggestions/ideas!

Steve's Guns has them for the Rossi Puma.

Not affiliated. Had good dealings with him.

Thanks for the tip: I see he has the complete rifles with the loop lever, without showing pricing, which usually means "wow"...

but I have emailed him to see if he sells a replacement lever in the large loop.

Check his auctions, he has them there. Depending on what you want, start at $120.

ahhhhh!

Thanks! Missed it the first go-round. Just what I was looking for!

I have a Rossi 92 with a large loop. I would be willing to trade loops.

I bought mine from Steve. Its a 3/4 loop. Fits good with the heavy gloves I wear in cold weather. He didn't have them on the website. I called and he sent me an e-mail with some pics. Give him a call and he will set you up. Great guy to deal with. I also bought his DVD and did the action job over the winter. Very happy with the results.
