Gun and gear reviews Waiting to hear about canted Citadel 92.

I have a Rossi I'm super happy with, when I realized I could go mad tactical for (relatively) cheap, I ordered up a Levtac 92 from Tenda.... Wouldn't you know it, she felt funny so I took a closer look and realized it had a canted barrel.

I've contacted the retailer, anyone have any insight or experience with this situation. My previous dealings with Ruger warranty were sub-par.

Those guns are just rebranded Rossi but even lower quality. Frankly if it still cycles despite the barrel cant and is otherwise mechanically ok you should keep it over a replacement since you're ahead of the game if you're going to roll the dice on a warrenty replacement, the "levtacs" are rough.

I've had my Rossi for years and have been really happy with it. I was looking at Heritage or Chiappa ranch hands, but then learned these were made by Rossi and figured I'd save some cash...  But that's apparently a mistake on my end.

Oof, thanks for the info. I'll see how the email to Tenda goes.

Been waiting for my replacement from northern exposure since december, they couldn't even replace it for the same caliber, 357, and told me it was due to limited stocks, yet I see places like SFRC getting new shippements of them.

Fuck Citadel and fuck Northern exposure.

Well shit. That's unfortunate, I'll see how tenda handles it. I shouldn't have gotten excited hearing they were made by Rossi and been so confident.

Thanks for the info.

Update! I plan on running optics anyways, and the extractor still fits into the barrel notch. I've added a 0.008 shim to the right side and the rail sits level. I'll probably pull the front sight off for my Cowboy action rifle, and just make a blank for the front sight dovetail.

A gun for relatively cheap…. Complains about quality compared to a rifle he paid 400-500$ more, you want quality? Get something at 900-1,200$ wouldn’t expect Grade A from cheap new brands

I've bought cheapo guns that didn't have canted barrels that's the bare minimum.
