Robertson Trading Post – Taurus & Rossi Long Guns Page

This Page Updated 10/24/08

Rossi, Taurus, Braztech Rifles and Shotguns

This page includes any Brazilian-made Long Guns we have in stock, or that we sometimes stock.   We use NRA grading terminology and percentages of the original finish remaining on the firearm in our descriptions. While firearm grading is subjective like coin grading, we have tried to give ample closeup photos of the firearms and tried to describe any detracting features of each firearm in such a way as seller and buyer can be as clear as possible on the merchandise’s condition. For other single shots, please see our Single Shot page; also our brand name pages.

For those kind enough to consider selling or trading us your guns or personal property, please bear in mind that it costs us about $50 a gun from the time it crosses our counter until it is a finished product, ready to ship or go back out the door. The most tedious expense comes with cleaning guns.

Format is our stock number & heading – then photos – then description and price on each item. Serial numbers are deliberately smudged.

Please note that we only charge $25 flat fee for first long gun to the lower 47 states; also, we will discount 2% for payment with USPS Money Orders or lay-aways, but this does not apply when third-party venues like Guns America, Gun Broker, or Auction Arms are involved.

Rossi .22 Single Youth Synthetic Exc

 

            Here is one of the excellent little Rossi Single Shots with its .22 Long Rifle Barrel. This is one we acquired locally, sold by one of our friendly competitors. It is in excellent condition, and this one’s receiver has capability for both 20 gauge and .243 Winchester barrels. Its model designation, S2022243YBS, indicates as much. Its length of pull is 13 ¼ inches, shorter than normal, and it weighs in at only 6 pounds empty. Note the high visibility fiber optic sights atop this 18 ½ inch .22 LR Barrel. This specimen has only very light scuffing on the buttstock, and light contact indications on the sharp edges of the hammer, safety lever, and receiver inside edges from light use. We rate it as Excellent, 90 to 95 percent. Own this one                      for only           $ 119.95

Winchester 63 Taurus Copy Brand New in Box

While our forte is definitely not new guns, Taurus International has run some excellent specials in the past year, and this is one of them, a New in Box Taurus Model 63, copy of the venerable and popular Winchester 63 take-down semi auto rifle, manufactured by Winchester from 1933 until 1960. Photo shows one of three that we bought on sale early this year, so we can offer them for wholesale prices. These rifles are NOT reconditioned, despite their having an X in their serial numbers.

BRZ410Y

Rossi/Braztech .410 Single Shot Youth Model 22” Mod / 12” Pull / 4 lb Brand New

We are not, as we have pointed out elsewhere, trying to wholesale new guns. But it is somewhere a nearly Biblical requirement that any gun store worthy of the name shall have in stock a representative of the all-time best seller, the .410 single shot. Here the Brazilians have excelled, for lightness and durability; and this Braztech / Rossi Youth Model .410 outdoes their FIE/Remington predecessors, the SB-41. This is one of the lightest shotguns on the market, less than 4 pounds empty; it is butt-heavy and thus handy for short-armed persons; it has a lock-down main safety; and its length of pull is 1 ½ inches shorter than a standard long gun. Barrel is 22 inch Modified, 3 inch chamber. Photos are of an actual specimen that we had in stock in late 2008. Once these Goncalo-Stocked Rossis are gone, there will be no more available. Then one will have to take one’s grandkids hunting with a black plastic gun, not a real gun like this one, and they will be forever warped.            Own this very nice little .410 for only            $149.95

 

LGBZ1217

Rossi Combo .17 HMR / 12 ga NIB

Here is an excellent buy in a versatile, lightweight shotgun / rifle combo: The classic lightweight Rossi action and receiver with both 12 gauge (ouch) and .17 HMR Barrels. These are excellent firearms with respectable accuracy. This is a special purchase, firearms were manufactured around 2004, even though they are well greased in their original boxes with black zipper case. These are pre-locks, that is, manufactured before Braztech began putting internal locks on the back of the hammer. We also include, at our expense, the Braztech P081 scope mount base for the .17 barrel. All a person has to do is loosen and remove the rear sight, then install the Weaver type base. Factory Specs are as follows: Gauge 12 ga. 3 inch and .17 Hornady Magnum; weight 5.25 pounds on .17 Barrel and 6.22 pounds on 12 gauge barrel; 28 inch Full Choke 12 gauge barrel and 23 inch .17 Barrel; 14 inch length of pull Brazilian Hardwood stock and forend with pistol grip and factory recoil pad; sling swivels installed.  Own a complete matched set on this Braztech / Rossi offering         for only           $ 169.95

Interstate Shipments of Firearms can go to Federally Licensed Dealers Only. Anyone who undertakes to purchase a firearm must first of all be eligible to own one under State and Federal Law. Disabilities from owning firearms include being under 21 for a handgun (or pistol grip rifle or shotgun) or under 18 for a long gun; conviction, indictment or information of a misdemeanor domestic violence or felony (it does not matter if the person served jail time or not, the conviction or information suffices); adjudication of a nervous disorder or disability; and non-citizenship in the United States. If anyone who is not eligible to own a firearm attempts to purchase one from us, we will assist law enforcement in that person’s prosecution. If anyone attempts to aid and abet the acquisition of a firearm from us for an ineligible person, we will assist in all involved parties’ prosecution. We have no intention of violating any laws. That is why we cannot ship some firearms and/or magazines to jurisdictions that include California, Maryland, New Jersey, and the New York City vicinity.

If an unlicensed individual wishes to purchase a firearm that we have advertised, he or she must do so legally through an FFL, a federally licensed dealer. Dealers normally charge transfer fees. In our experience, the most readily available transferors are Pawnbrokers and Gunsmiths. Please have transfer logistics worked out before contacting us for a purchase. Thanks for your interest. Law Enforcement officers may purchase a firearm through their department only if it will be used on duty, and Department Letters and paperwork from the Chief Law Enforcement Officer in the jurisdiction are required.
