Chambered in the venerable .45 Colt cartridge, this carbine combines the handling characteristics of a classic short rifle with the corrosion resistance of stainless steel.

Overview

The Rossi R92 is a modern interpretation of the iconic Winchester 1892 action, scaled specifically for pistol-caliber cartridges. This Rossi R92 .45 Colt lever-action carbine with stainless barrel features a 20-inch barrel and a tubular magazine capacity of 10 rounds, offering a balance of compact handling and sufficient firepower for range use, hunting, or ranch work. The stainless barrel and receiver provide enhanced durability in coastal or humid environments, a practical consideration for California shooters. The “cosmetic blemishes” designation means this particular carbine has been inspected and functions to factory specifications, with the savings passed directly to the customer.

Who It’s For

This Rossi R92 .45 Colt lever-action carbine with stainless barrel (cosmetic blemishes) is ideally suited for the practical shooter who values mechanical function over pristine showroom appearance.
