Now, How Do I Put It Back? - Reassembly of a Citadel LevTac92 (Rossi R92) 

bugger, hope the gunsmith go it sorted for you.

Glad it helped

Just bought 1.took it apart and found the same thing. Used motor oil and metal shavings.

The "horse stable" is the landolin based rust inhibitor used to keep it from rusting in a warehouse.

Ok so this video and the series is the best video I found on RU-vid for this rifle so thank you for that. That aside I ending up taking a trip to the LGS because I put the main level pin back in and it didn't cycle at all. In the video you said "if you don't get this pin right.....looks like I got it first time". If you don't get this pin right....... what? I needed that sentence to finish lol. Anyway the LGS RU-vidd some other video and they said it needs to be centered or the gun will lock up. Just for anyone wondering or maybe if you want to reupload it with a note. Again really liked series other than that.

my bad, yes the pin must be centered or it will lock up. Glad your enjoying the videos

So, it dificult to explain to explain this. dont ever cut springs and stretch them out, unless your "Bubba The Gunsmith". replacing the spring is easiet. but if you have time and patience and a benchtop belt sander (and appropriate belt) you can put the spring through a small bolt or i use brazing rod, and run it at an angle against the belt. spring tension is determined mostly by the thickness of the material. i may do a video on this in the future. as for the loading gate, because its a leaf spring, i have adjusted the angle (bending it), but be very carefull, you can go too far and have it snap.

Glad you enjoyed it

It is just a cheap one, ebay i think. i have bored it out and threaded it. was origionally for 5.56 with 1/2x28

Im assuming you mean the loading gate. If so you need to get somthing down into the reciver to apply outward pressure. if your fingers wont fit, then a nylon prybar (used for automotive trim) will work well without damaging anything

I may do one in the furture. For now, when you get it stripp it down and clean all the factory debris & oil out. Light lubrication of the rails and piviots & put it back together. Beyond that I only clean the bolt face & chamber regularly & and light oil as above. I only do a full clean (barrel included) when accuracy degrades

its not going to be fun, especially if its the full stregth spring. A spring compression toll is the correct answer. if you dont have acess to one, then clampt the hammer in a vise etc and make a slot in a flat peice of steel or similar, compress the spring and insert a nail in the hole, slide the steel out. wear safety glasses!

RPP mods look fantastic. Have one of their triggers on a Marlin and love it. Have fun with the build!

check some of the other comments, some great ideas. A fired casing works too

the action is pretty slick out of the box on mine. i have lightened the ejector spring, but the rest are factory. i only did the ejector so i had a chance to recover my brass. i have also adjusted the loading gate (leaf spring) to make loading a bit easier.

@@pyrate_nz How did you lighten the ejector spring,cut existing Ejector spring or use a different spring? How did you adjust the Loading gate tension,did you bend the loading gate or thin the loading gate?

i have a whole play list for this build ru-vid.com/group/PL1DaalhTEyGCCxYMAMSIWN0rxIwGs8LcC

I would avoid a live round. You will probably know a reloader that has an inertia hammer, at least get the powder out. Other than that you cound make a small pin to captivate the ejector while you insert the bolt, then when the bolt is closed drift it out, install the lever and put the real pin in. You will need to keep foward pressure on the bolt the whole time cause the ejector spring is under tension.

@@pyrate_nz I ended up folding the prong of a fork and using that to keep the spring inside as I slid it forward.

Glad you got it sorted. Would pay to get that dummy round for next time

I used a fired shell. Worked fine.

@@DonHavjuanyea that’s what I was going to say, doesn’t need the bullet for this application just the shell.
