Nice but spendy. For that much money you could buy two Rossi 92s, change the sights and still have extra for ammo or reloading components.

Does anyone know who makes Taylors & Company's Model '92s? At one time I thought that they were Rossis but finished a bit better and with better wood. |

I have a Taylors in .357 it's a very smooth and easy handling gun. The take down feature is nice, packs up small. Doesn't like factory .38spl, but if I hand load them long it does fine.
Currently I'm lusting for the same model in .45lc .45lc takedown. |

Taylor’s & Company, best known for importing reproductions of civil-war era and cowboy action firearms, has just announced a new rifle in their line-up: The 1892 “Huntsman”. Chambered in .357Mag, 45LC, and .44Mag, the 1892 Huntsman Carbine features a 16? barrel, 8 round capacity, and 38? OAL for a total weight of 6lbs. More importantly, it comes stock with upgraded features that I have added on to customers’ lever guns in the past, including an adjustable skinner-type rear sight, hi-vis fiber optic front sight, and an enlarged D-type lever loop. All calibers of this model have an MSRP of $1273.00. Bought one in .357! Great little rifle. Fed .38 special just fine. LOVE the Skinner sights, especially the glowing front. (My eyes are 71 years old) One surprise though...it has a matte finish, which I have grown to like for its utility and that this piece is not to be a safe queen. Photos to follow... |

Matte gear gets polished. It is a physical law of the Universe. <-- not kidding. I was looking at that rifle in 357. It is a nice piece. |

Chiappa has had this model for a while (Trapper Skinner model) but Taylor's recently rebranded it as the Huntsman. The .357 has been on my short list for a while now. It's pretty spendy though, so I keep holding off. There is another thread on here where someone has it in .44.

I really like this front sight, but I need a taller one...any suggestions...? Raising the front sight lowers the point of impact. Is it related to that? |

I have the rear sight adjusted as low as possible and the carbine still groups 6-8 inches high at 100 yards with factory 357 158gr JHP's.
So a higher front sight will shift the grouping lower on the target. |

Is that front sight just clamped onto the barrel and magazine, or am I misinterpreting what I'm seeing?
If it's just clamped, you could shim it up. If the sight radius is in the 12-14" range (I'm just eyeballing it), then you need a 0.030" shim to raise the point of impact 8" at 100 yards. No matter how the sight is affixed, you need to raise the front by about 0.030". Before you freak out over a clamped front sight and a shim, my Anschutz's front sight is clamped to the barrel and has a shim. It is as reliable as any front sight I own. What would I do? I'd send it back to Taylor's. What ammo did Taylor's use to determine the height of the front sight? |

Thanks for the suggestion, but the fiber optic "bracket" is like a figure 8 so wraps around the magazine tube as well as the barrel. So shimming won't work as there is nowhere for the shim to go.
Now I have been using the classic front sight in the center of the rear peep sight picture as I was taught with iron sights in the USMC, so now I'm going to try holding the front sight (which actually looks like a dot through the rear Skinner peep), down at 6-o'clock in the rear peep. I figure I can hold that sight picture as well from shot to shot as the center hold method. This should lower the shot group considerable. Not getting any response from Taylor's after twice emailing them in two weeks, which is very disappointing to say the least. Interestingly, I emailed Chiappa that actually manufactured the gun, and they responded back the next day with RMA information. However, I want to try the 6 o'clock sight picture before parting with the gun at this point. Wish I had gone directly to Chiappa in the first place. Taylor's will never get any more of my business. |

They took your money readily enough. |
