Rossi M92 Carbine .38/357 Lever Action Rifle With 20-Inch Barrel (Cosmetic Blemishes)

Overview

The Rossi M92 Carbine .38/357 lever action rifle with 20-inch barrel (cosmetic blemishes) offers shooters a traditionally styled, short-stroke lever gun chambered for both .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridges. This model, manufactured by Rossi, is a modern iteration of the classic Winchester 1892 action, known for its smooth cycling and robust design. The 20-inch barrel provides a balanced profile for handling in tight spaces while retaining sufficient sight radius for accurate shooting. The cosmetic blemishes on this specific unit do not affect function or mechanical integrity, allowing for a reduced cost on a fully operational firearm. The rifle accepts both .38 Special and .357 Magnum ammunition interchangeably, offering flexibility for target practice, plinking, or defensive use. The tubular magazine holds up to ten rounds of .357 Magnum or twelve rounds of .38 Special, depending on cartridge length. This carbine is a practical choice for those seeking a reliable lever action without paying a premium for perfect exterior finish.
