Rossi M92 38/357 Lever Action Carbine (Cosmetic Blemishes)

The Rossi M92 38/357 Lever Action Carbine (Cosmetic Blemishes) offers Ohio shooters a proven, reliable lever-action platform at a practical price point. Built on the legacy of the Winchester 1892 design, this carbine delivers smooth cycling and dependable performance for those who prioritize function over finish. The cosmetic blemishes on these units are strictly surface-level—scratches, handling marks, or minor finish inconsistencies—that do not affect the action, bore, or mechanical integrity of the firearm. For Ohio customers seeking an affordable lever gun for range work or field use, this model provides excellent value without compromising on Rossi’s established manufacturing standards.

Overview

The Rossi M92 38/357 Lever Action Carbine (Cosmetic Blemishes) is a short-barreled, fast-handling rifle chambered in both .38 Special and .357 Magnum. This dual-caliber capability allows you to shoot economical .38 Special for practice or training, then step up to .357 Magnum for higher velocity and energy. The carbine’s 16.5-inch barrel and 6-round tubular magazine make it compact enough for tight spaces while retaining the classic lines of a traditional lever action. Rossi builds these carbines in their Brazil facility, and the blemished inventory represents units that passed all functional inspections but show external wear from handling or storage.
