Slicking one up isn't rocket science. The are only so many moving parts. And it isn't the surfaces rubbing that causes them to be rough, it is mainly the ejector spring. Fix that and you fix most of the so-called roughness and the feeding issues. I think the spring I used cost me $4.86 as part of a spring kit from Hatbor Freight.
Like you, I try to do all I can myself.
But, everyone isn't so inclined.
I don't have a Rossi, not looking for one.
