Chiappa/Armisport makes their own 1892 clones. Their 1892 and 1886s supposedly aare copies of the originals, with the same thread pitch on screws and all parts are supposed to be interchangeable with originals. That said, it takes a bit of fitting for some parts, but the ones I have gotten from Chiappa fit very well in originals.
In contrast, Rossi/Braztech/Puma 92s just linda look like 92s on the outside, not so much on the inside.

That 77/44 is a very fine rifle. I'm wanting the .44mag and .357mag.
Armi Sport from Italy makes the Chiappa 92.
They are sold by LSI under the "Puma" moniker.
LSI dropped Rossi and contracted Chiappa to make their Puma 92 and if you compare a Chiappa 92 with a Rossi 92 you'll know why.
They are prettier, much smoother and better quality than the Rossi 92s with none of the silly lawyer parts.
The stock of the Chiappa is beautiful walnut in contrast to the Rossi which has a jungle wood stock.
I own a Chiappa 92 in 44 rem mag.
I also own Rossi 92s which I had to practically rebuild to get them where they needed to be in functionality to be of any use to me in the hunting field.
The Chiappa 92 was good to go right out of the box.
No complaints so far.
My Chiappa DOES have a screw at the front of the magazine tube near the cap into the barrel.

If I was a levergun builder I would thread the mag tube right into the receiver at the base especially in the heavier recoiling calibers but that would add substantially to the manufacturing overhead cost.
That would stop the forward creep under recoil.
I use my guns for hunting and don't go to the range every weekend and pound 200 rounds at steel silouettes like some do.
These guns were designed as utility guns for normal hunting use by most americans who like me can't afford to hammer away hundreds of rounds a month at steel and paper.

My chippia 92 in 44-40 was used for cowboy shooting for many years without a single problem and accurate as the devil. Mine had a large loop that i did not care for, a Winchester lever from an 1898 era rifle fit right in and functions just fine. This rifle is just as reliable as any of my original Winchester's
I just heard they have a 25% reject rate. They can't fire the monkeys causing the problems and they can't sustain it so they change importer names every so often. You might get a decent one, you might not.
This is not where I heard it but it jives:
