I've owned one for a few years. Never had a problem.

I loaded 38 special first, had trouble feeding rounds in the tube and then feeding to chamber was not at all smooth... 357 was even worse, some would not even feed into port and then angle didn't seem high enough to properly chamber.... CSM-H

Are rounds not being retained in the magazine?

No offense to you, but don't baby it. Cycle it like it won't break (it won't)

CSM-H...
I haven't had any issues with mine. When I was shopping I did read a bit on how .38 may experience some feeding issues, but the .357 that I've fed through has not had a hitch. I know there are some ammunition manufacturers that have specific lever-action ammunition to ensure smoother feeding.
To Sinjefe's point, I recall cycling out of the box seemed to require a bit more effort than I would have thought it should have...but the weapon hasn't had any issues.
Hope you find your answer.

Reaper, the rounds do go into the tube...Ret10echo and sinjefe...yep you guys are all over it  took it back this am and explained to the guy I bought it from my issues...he said he had never experienced any of the issues I stated but he also stated cycle it "hard/firmly", he also seemed to be concerned with the Blazer .357... anyway he gave me a box of 38 Special Cowboy ammo (for free) told me to take it and shoot it, if I still had the issues I stated to bring it back and either his gunsmith would fix it or Taurus would under warrenty.... So nore to follow, road trip next weep to the UP and I will put some round through it and see what happens. thanks guys for the responses... CSM-H

Rossi M92
So I got this thing to the range, sweet little shooter with both .38 and .357. The action IS stiff but as others said, just run it through "don't baby it". That part works fine, the loading issue, port/door not opening is a pain. You have to load the rounds about half way in and then follow with another. If you push too hard, say after five you may not get six or more in.... The spring from the tube is very tight/strong.
I have looked up "DIY M92 receiver kit" and there is a guy called "Mr. M92" or Mr. Rossi... he does a spring kit for about $190 but has an 8-10 month turn around. There is also a kit from Lee's Gunsmithing, "Gunslinger kit for Rossi M92" cost about $25. There are you tube videos for install. I may try this kit, supposed to be easy the second time you do it...first time can be a bitch.
Lastly there are those that say that it just shoots that way, get used to it..... Not sure if I am buying that... anyway if I get and put the Lee's kit in it I will post results.

Glad to hear things are "moving" well enough.
I am interested in hearing how the spring kit works out for you....

CSM-H,
Try Hornady's .357 FTX rounds. They are specifically designed for tubular magazines for lever actions.

Late to the thread but hope your M92 issue is getting better vs. the other direction. Can I assume you've tried this forum area of Shooter's Forum dedicated to the M92 and its clones?
I have one in 44 WCF ( aka .44-40). Sweet gun, but I did have to do some mild ejector work on it because it would beat that 44 WCF case up like crazy, ruining 'em for reloads - brass pretty thin at the mouth. And, yes, a bear in terms of detail stripping & re-ass'y.
Every one I've seen has a pretty stiff loading port; don't recall what the tweak is for that, but someone's got it somewhere. Too many cowboy shooters running these things. They do work in a bit but they are, frankly, meant to be pretty stiff. (You already know you need to be running it with vigor, like Walter Brennan is tossin' dynamite for you.)
I would be interested how this continues to develop for you.
Good luck.

I feel for you, brother.
I tore down my Winchester 94 in .357 and thought I was never going to get it back together again. Took better than a hour, with some time outs for cuss breaks.
