About this product

The Rossi R92 .45 Colt Lever-Action Rifle with Polish Stainless Steel Finish and Hardwood is a meticulously engineered reproduction of the classic Winchester 1892 action, chambered in the venerable .45 Colt cartridge. This model offers the modern shooter a blend of historical accuracy and contemporary materials, featuring a polished stainless steel receiver, barrel, and magazine tube that resist corrosion while providing a refined aesthetic. The hardwood stock and forend are shaped to traditional specifications, offering a solid, ergonomic platform for both range use and field carry. As a short-action lever gun, the R92 cycles smoothly and handles quickly, making it a practical choice for those who value a reliable, manual-action firearm with a proven heritage.

Overview

The Rossi R92 .45 Colt Lever-Action Rifle with Polish Stainless Steel Finish and Hardwood is built around a forged steel receiver and a 20-inch round barrel, both finished in polish stainless steel. The action is a scaled-down version of the original 1892 design, known for its strength and ability to handle modern .45 Colt ammunition within SAAMI specifications. This rifle is imported by Rossi and assembled in their licensed facility, ensuring consistent quality control and adherence to the original Browning patent geometry. The hardwood stock is finished with a satin lacquer that protects the wood while allowing the natural grain to remain visible. Sights consist of a brass bead front post and a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight, providing a clear sight picture for target acquisition at typical lever-action distances.
