Overview

The Rossi M92 Carbine is a faithful evolution of the Winchester 1892 action, known for its smooth cycling and robust lockup. This carbine features a 16-inch barrel, making it exceptionally maneuverable in tight spaces or when carried through brush. The overall length remains compact, and the weight balances perfectly for off-hand shooting. Finished with a blued steel barrel and a hardwood stock, it carries the look and feel of a purpose-built firearm without unnecessary embellishment. The .38/357 chambering is particularly versatile, letting you practice affordably with .38 Specials and step up to .357 Magnums for serious work.

Features & Specs

The Rossi M92 Carbine .38/357 lever action rifle is built around a proven action that cycles both .38 Special and .357 Magnum rounds reliably.

The tubular magazine holds 10 rounds of .38 Special or 9 rounds of .357 Magnum, giving you ample firepower for plinking or pest control. The rear sight is a semi-buckhorn style, adjustable for elevation, while the front sight is a brass bead for quick acquisition. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting if you prefer optics, though the iron sights work admirably for most uses.
