Overview

Rossi has been making lever actions for decades, and the M92 Carbine is one of their most popular offerings. The rossi m92 carbine .38/357 lever action rifle features a 16-inch barrel, a full-length magazine tube, and a compact overall length that makes it easy to maneuver in tight spaces.

This carbine is not just a nostalgia piece; it is a practical firearm for hunting small game, ranch work, or keeping handy on the property. The .38 Special option makes it a joy to shoot all day without punishing your shoulder or wallet.
