Rossi M92 .45 Colt Lever Action Carbine with 16-Inch Round Barrel (Cosmetic Blemishes)

The Rossi M92 .45 Colt lever action carbine with 16-inch round barrel (cosmetic blemishes) offers a practical entry point for shooters seeking a classic lever-action platform without paying a premium for pristine finish. These carbines are factory-new firearms that exhibit minor surface imperfections in the metal finish or wood stock, such as light handling marks, small scratches, or uneven bluing. The mechanical function and bore quality remain factory-spec, making this an excellent value for the informed purchaser. Chambered in .45 Colt, this carbine delivers substantial stopping power suitable for both range use and field carry.

Overview

Rossi’s M92 is a modern interpretation of the Winchester 1892 action, scaled specifically for shorter pistol-caliber cartridges like the .45 Colt. The 16-inch round barrel keeps the overall length compact at approximately 32 inches, making it highly maneuverable in tight spaces. The carbine features a full-length tubular magazine with a capacity of 10 rounds, a blued steel receiver, and a hardwood stock with a straight grip. The action cycles smoothly out of the box and benefits from Rossi’s investment-cast components for consistent lockup. Because this unit is designated as having cosmetic blemishes, the price is reduced while the mechanical integrity remains unchanged from non-blemished inventory.

Features & Specs

The Rossi M92 .45 Colt lever action carbine with 16-inch round barrel (cosmetic blemishes) is built around a forged steel receiver with a side ejection port and a hammer-forged round barrel. The barrel is threaded at the muzzle with a 1:38-inch twist rate, optimized for stabilizing standard .45 Colt projectiles. The rear sight is a semi-buckhorn adjustable for elevation, paired with a brass bead front sight for quick acquisition. The lever and trigger are case-hardened, and the gun includes a tang-mounted safety. Below are the core specifications:

• Caliber: .45 Colt; action type: lever-action repeating rifle with a 10-round tubular magazine (one in chamber, nine in tube)
• Barrel length: 16 inches; overall length: 32 inches; weight: approximately 5.6 pounds unloaded
• Stock: Brazilian hardwood with a satin lacquer finish; metal finish: blued steel with case-hardened lever and trigger

Key features of this specific blemished unit include the same manufacturing tolerances and materials as non-blemished models, with only aesthetic deviations. The action is designed for .45 Colt ammunition with a maximum overall cartridge length of 1.600 inches. The gun is compatible with standard sling swivels and aftermarket sights, though the dovetailed front sight is integral to the barrel.

• Factory-tested for function and accuracy with standard pressure .45 Colt ammunition
• Includes a manual, lock, and hard plastic carrying case
• Blemishes are limited to the exterior; the bore, chamber, and action are to factory specifications

Who It’s For

This Rossi M92 .45 Colt lever action carbine with 16-inch round barrel (cosmetic blemishes) is suited for shooters who prioritize mechanical performance over cosmetic perfection. It is an ideal choice for the budget-conscious cowboy action shooter, the hunter needing a compact woods carbine for deer or hog at moderate ranges, or the collector wanting a shooter-grade rifle without the premium of a pristine example. The .45 Colt chambering allows for both light plinking loads and heavy hunting loads, giving versatility in a single platform. Because the blemishes are strictly cosmetic, this carbine also serves as a practical truck gun or camp rifle where additional wear is expected.
