Taurus Holdings owns Rossi firearms, brand new lever action 357 magnum rifle blew apart pulling the trigger. The extractor shot out of the bolt carrier, on the model 94 it's on top, this resulted in a void allowing the casing to blow out and into my face catching all the pieces of brass from the casing around my eye. I was near deaf for weeks due to the blast, and luckily the extractor must have went up not back or this would have been much worse. Upon inspection the chamber was cut all wrong! There was a huge groove in it that they missed on the quality inspecting line. So far rossi / Taurus has done nothing about it and tried to get me to sign a release of liability form in exchange for $147.00 for my time out of work to go see the doctors. I'm still digging pieces of the brass out of my face to date!
