In my humble opinion.... this spring kit will make your Rossi a treasured joy to shoot. If I recall correctly, I used all the springs except the trigger spring (I didn't want to lighten mine since it isn't supposed to be a target rifle). This kit comes with explicit directions and I think I may have used Steve's Gunz CD to help me thru the disassembly/assembly process. This kit is GREAT and for $30..... you will thank me: Spring Kits | Palo Verde Gunworks
p.s. he has spring kits for Marlins too. The company is named Palo Verde.
MINE is a blue, 45 colt, pre-lock with metal magazine follower... couldn't ask for more.... yes, I refinished the stock because I beat it up a few times; it's very nice now. Chutes good... !!!
