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

Overview

If you have been scanning the racks for a solid lever gun that won’t break the bank, the Rossi M92 Carbine .38/357 Lever Action Rifle with 20-Inch Barrel (Cosmetic Blemishes) is worth a close look. This is the same reliable, smooth-cycling carbine that Rossi has been turning out for years, built around the classic 1892 action that handles both .38 Special and .357 Magnum rounds interchangeably. The only difference here is some surface-level cosmetic blemishes from storage or handling—nothing that affects function, accuracy, or safety. The Rossi M92 Carbine .38/357 Lever Action Rifle with 20-Inch Barrel (Cosmetic Blemishes) gives you a field-ready shooter at a price that leaves room for ammo and accessories.

Features & Specs

This carbine is built around a forged steel receiver and a 20-inch round barrel, chambered in the versatile .38 Special / .357 Magnum combo. The tubular magazine holds 10 rounds of .357 or 11 rounds of .38 Special, giving you plenty of firepower for plinking, varmint control, or trail carry. The action itself is a scaled-down version of the Winchester 1892 design, known for its fast, positive cycling and slim profile. Here are the key details:

• Barrel length: 20 inches; overall length: 36.5 inches; weight: roughly 5.5 pounds unloaded. The balance point sits right under the forend for quick shouldering.
• Chambered for .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P. You can run cheap .38 Special target loads all day or step up to .357 for deer and hogs inside 100 yards.
• Blued finish with a Brazilian hardwood stock. The cosmetic blemishes are limited to the metal surfaces—usually light scuffs or small patches of discoloration—and do not affect the bore, crown, or mechanical function.

Who It’s For

The Rossi M92 Carbine .38/357 Lever Action Rifle with 20-Inch Barrel (Cosmetic Blemishes) fits a few different shooters. If you are new to lever actions and want an affordable entry point that still handles real calibers, this is a smart buy. It also appeals to seasoned shooters looking for a truck gun or a backup saddle carbine that they don’t mind getting a few scratches on. The .38/357 chambering means you can practice cheaply with .38 Special and still have .357 on tap for serious work. Hunters who work tight brush stands will appreciate the 20-inch barrel and light weight. And because these cosmetic blemishes are strictly visual, you get full mechanical performance at a reduced price point.

• Budget-conscious buyers who want a proven lever-action design without paying for a perfect finish.
• Backcountry campers and hikers who need a reliable, packable rifle that can take some bumps.
• Collectors and tinkerers who plan to refinish or customize the stock and metal—no need to ruin a pristine gun.

One thing to note: the Rossi M92 Carbine .38/357 Lever Action Rifle with 20-Inch Barrel (Cosmetic Blemishes) uses a two-piece firing pin and a rebounding hammer. It cycles best with round-nose or flat-point ammunition; avoid sharp-pointed bullets to prevent magazine tube detonation risk. The action tends to smooth out nicely after a couple hundred rounds, so don’t be alarmed if it feels a little stiff out of the box.

• Comes with a manual and one cleaning jag. No box, no extra accessories—just the rifle as shown.
• Rear sight is a simple open buckhorn; front sight is a brass bead. Both are drift-adjustable for windage.
• Threaded for a sling swivel stud at the forend cap; rear stud is in the buttstock. Standard 1/4-inch sling swivels fit.
