In the past year I have purchased 2 Braztech M92's in .357. First a 20" carbine model that I was really impressed with and recently a 24" octagon that is also great. They both feed and eject .38's and .357's both round nose and SWC's. Both have been trouble free, the carbine has had over a couple thousand rounds through it and the octagon is pushing a thousand. The quality control on these rifles is as good or better than the last 3 Marlins some friends have purchased(2- 1894's and 1 39A). I paid $435 for my guns and I think they are a good value at that price. I personally think Rossi's in pistol cartridge levers and Henry's in Rimfires are the most bang for the buck out there.
