About this product
Rossi M92 38/357 Lever Action Carbine (Cosmetic Blemishes)If you have been scanning the market for a reliable lever gun that does not break the bank, the Rossi M92 38/357 lever action carbine (cosmetic blemishes) is worth a serious look. This is a rifle that borrows heavily from the classic Winchester 1892 design, chambered in the versatile .38 Special and .357 Magnum. The “cosmetic blemishes” part simply means you get the same mechanical quality and smooth action at a price that leaves you room for ammunition and accessories. We have handled a fair number of these, and the blemishes are typically minor handling marks or slight finish inconsistencies that do not affect function whatsoever.
Overview
The Rossi M92 38/357 lever action carbine (cosmetic blemishes) is a no-nonsense saddle gun built for shooters who value practicality over showroom perfection. It features a 16-inch barrel, a full-length magazine tube, and a crisp lever throw that cycles both .38 Special and .357 Magnum rounds without complaint. Because these are factory seconds with minor cosmetic issues, you are getting a working firearm that functions exactly like a first-quality model, but at a significantly reduced cost. It is an ideal choice for someone who intends to use the rifle hard rather than keep it in a safe.
