Overview

The Rossi M92 is a modern take on the classic Winchester 1892 lever action, scaled for the powerful .45 Colt cartridge. This specific model features a 16-inch round barrel, making it notably compact and maneuverable for a lever gun. The action is smooth and cycles quickly, with a forged steel receiver and a blued finish. The cosmetic blemishes on this carbine are strictly surface-level wear from storage or handling; the mechanical components, barrel bore, and action are in new condition. This is an ideal entry point for shooters who want a rugged, no-frills lever action for plinking, ranch work, or cowboy action shooting practice.

• Chambered in .45 Colt, a versatile and historically significant cartridge suitable for target shooting and medium-game hunting within legal parameters.
• 16-inch round barrel with a 1:38 twist rate, providing reliable stabilization for standard .45 Colt loads.
• Blued steel receiver and barrel with a straight-grip walnut stock; cosmetic blemishes are present but do not compromise structural integrity.
