Rossi Model 92 357 Mag/38 Special Lever-Action Carbine (Cosmetic Blemishes)

Overview

This Rossi Model 92 357 Mag/38 Special Lever-Action Carbine (Cosmetic Blemishes) offers the proven performance of a classic lever-action platform at a reduced cost due to minor exterior finish irregularities. Chambered for both .357 Magnum and .38 Special, this carbine provides versatility for range shooting, small-game hunting, and home-defense applications. The action is based on the legendary Winchester Model 1892 design, known for its smooth cycling and robust locking mechanism. Cosmetic blemishes are limited to the metal or wood finish and do not affect mechanical function or accuracy. Each unit is factory-tested and functions identically to a non-blemished model.

Features & Specs

The Rossi Model 92 357 Mag/38 Special Lever-Action Carbine (Cosmetic Blemishes) is built with a forged steel receiver, a blued steel barrel, and a hardwood stock. The 16.5-inch barrel length and compact overall profile make it highly maneuverable in tight spaces. The tubular magazine holds 8 rounds of .357 Magnum or 9 rounds of .38 Special. Sights include a brass bead front post and an adjustable rear buckhorn sight. The action features a loading gate on the right side of the receiver and a half-cock safety notch. An internal transfer bar safety prevents accidental discharge when the hammer is resting on a live round.
