Steve, I have a Rossi 62 carbine, it's been a long time since it's been out of the safe, it think it has a 16" or 18" barrel. It's before any extra safeties were added. It has a very smooth action but the parts seem to fit together a lot looser than the old Winchesters did, the bolt has a lot of wiggle with the action opened. I've never tried swapping parts from between the Taurus lever, the Rossi and a Winchester, something that I might try some day, it would be interesting to see how close they all are.
