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

Overview

The Rossi M92 Carbine in .38 Special and .357 Magnum is a modern reproduction of the classic Winchester 1892 lever-action design, optimized for the modern shooter. This particular unit is offered as a factory blemished model, meaning the action and bore are factory-new, but the exterior metal finish or wood stock may exhibit minor cosmetic flaws from the manufacturing process. Chambered in both .38 Special and .357 Magnum, this carbine provides versatile ammunition compatibility with reduced recoil for plinking and full-power loads for hunting or defense. The 20-inch barrel balances a full-length sight radius with the compact handling expected from a saddle carbine, making it a viable choice for brush hunting or range work. The Rossi M92 retains the iconic side-ejection and loading gate system, allowing for quick manual cycling and reloading under field conditions.

Features & Specs

The Rossi M92 Carbine is built around a forged steel receiver and a blued steel barrel, delivering reliable cycling with both .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridges. The 20-inch barrel is paired with a full-length magazine tube holding up to ten rounds, providing substantial firepower for a lever action. The stock and forend are constructed from Brazilian hardwood, and on this blemished model, cosmetic irregularities such as small dents, scratches, or finish variations may be present. These imperfections do not affect the mechanical function or accuracy of the rifle.

• Caliber: .38 Special / .357 Magnum (interchangeable operation)
• Barrel Length: 20 inches, blued steel with adjustable rear sight and post front sight
• Overall Length: 36.5 inches, weight approximately 6.2 pounds
• Magazine Capacity: 10 rounds (tubular magazine)
• Action: Lever-action with side ejection and exposed hammer
• Stock: Brazilian hardwood with straight grip, metal buttplate

The Rossi M92 employs a two-piece firing pin system with an integral transfer bar safety, allowing the hammer to be carried safely on a live chamber. The loading gate on the right side of the receiver permits single-round insertion, while the tubular magazine can be unloaded through the action without removing rounds manually.

Who It’s For

This Rossi M92 carbine is suited for shooters who want the authentic feel of a classic lever-action rifle without paying collector-grade prices. The cosmetic blemishes make it an ideal choice for a working rifle—one that will be carried in a truck, used on a ranch, or taken into rough backcountry where additional wear is expected. It is also a strong option for a first-time lever-action buyer who prioritizes function over finish, or for a reloader who wants to shoot both .38 Special and .357 Magnum loads from the same platform. The carbine’s light weight and short overall length appeal to hunters moving through dense cover, as well as to recreational shooters who enjoy the fast cycling of a lever action at steel targets or in cowboy action-style practice.
