For anyone interested that ugly safety on top does not hurt anything and I have just ignored it. But there are nice peep sites made to replace it. Of course you lose the barrel sight, but then the peep mounted further back gives you more sight radius. I am ordering one now but not sure which one to put it on. Here is a picture:

Any time you modify a factory safety feature on anything, gun, lawnmower, power tools, whatever, then if there is an injury down the road there is always the potential for you to be named in a lawsuit. Even if you sell the gun, you could be named in a lawsuit. So, if you replace it, just save it and put it back like it was if you sell it. Sorry, just the lawyer in me, but people need to know these things, as they may not sound like common sense. Or if you sell it make them sign a bill of sale recognizing it was modified and they are buying it "as is".
For those new to the Rossi 92, StevesGuns.com has all sorts of gee whiz stuff if you just want to change the looks. Big loop lever--for that cool mall ninja look; saddle ring--looks really cool but can clang an make noise if you actually hunt with it; stainless steel tube metal spring tube follower, in case the plastic one should ever melt, none of ours ever did, but plastic is plastic; and there is even a dovetail picatinny rail adapter--in case you want to mount a red dot or scout scope on it, blasphemy! But he does sell a lot of stuff if you want yours to be different. The red dot mounted on this sleek little lever may be great for shooting frogs or hogs, but it sure is ugly, in my old opinion.
I have Marlins for scopes, so leave the Rossi and Win 92s like they are intended. LOL
