Yes sir.
And, thanks for the kind words guys.
Haha, Al. They've been slapped by some 444 lead a time or two already.

Re: Tired of suggestions falling on DEAF Ears
A little update,
This morning I did put just a few through it to more or less check to see if it would actually work.
I first tried a couple of of some heavy cast I had loaded for the other t-4s, they were just a tick to long and I had to jiggle the rifle to get those to lift, but they chambered and fire flawlessly with no ejection issue. Then a couple of some 265 gr Hornady interlocks, no issue either.
Both of those are loaded over some heavy doses of H4198, felt recoil was minimal.
Then the wife drug me off to help with some errands and didn't get back til around 3.
I did get the last of those cast I had on hand loaded up to try later this week, working tomorrow
I did adjust the OAL and they cycle sweetly.
I put 5 in the magazine and ran through them as fast as possible.
Other than I wasn't shootin the rounds, I believe ole Lucas McCain would've been proud.
Looks like a casting session is upcoming soon.

Re: Tired of suggestions falling on DEAF Ears
Oh, I did notice that when squeezing the trigger slowly. there is a small notch, like a set. You can barely feel it, but it will stop right there. You can let off the trigger and it'll stay, the trigger can flop back and forth like usual, but it stays set.
Then you squeeze a bit and it falls. Kind of interesting.

Any recommendations on a good one.

Never ever even gave them much thought.

Re: Tired of suggestions falling on DEAF Ears
Is this your only firearm with a threaded barrel?
If so, a good 45 caliber do all will help. Since you cast, get one that is user-serviceable. IE, take it apart and clean the baffles.
When I started, there wasn't a 45-caliber can that was user-serviceable and could also handle rifle cartridges. Now, you have a couple of choices.
This one Forty has,

I have 3 of these, Two in .358 and one in .460
https://www.griffinarmament.com/bushwha ... uppressor/
I run mine with a mount, but you don't have to. If you have only one threaded rifle, by all means, use direct thread.
It will be the quietest with subsonic loads and significantly less loud with supersonic loads. Lever guns are, in my opinion, the single best way to shoot suppressed. They are quieter than a nail gun and hit the steel quite hard. 650 to 700FPE for 45 colt loads at 1050 fps.
As I mentioned, felt recoil will be reduced by 30-ish percent.
There are other 46 caliber cans out there, but most of them are sealed now, meaning you have to dip them in a cleaner for extended periods of time to be rid of the carbon build up. I prefer one I can take apart, clean, and reassemble.

Finally, the last type of can, a hybrid where you screw on each baffle.

Re: Tired of suggestions falling on DEAF Ears
Late to the Rossi party here but you made a great choice Randy! I bought same rifle in 45-70 year ago for my Mules Leg build and love it! The cycles slick as you could want right out the box and no issues so far. With threaded barrel it is a nice handy shooter for a great price.
