Each unit in this inventory carries cosmetic blemishes from handling, storage, or transport—scratches, scuffs, or minor finish irregularities that do not affect the rifle’s operation, accuracy, or structural integrity. By offering this specific variant, we pass significant savings directly to you, providing a high-performance lever gun at a fraction of the standard retail cost.

Overview

The Rossi M92 45 Colt lever-action rifle with 24 inch octagonal barrel (cosmetic blemishes) is a production-grade firearm built on Rossi’s proven Model 92 platform. The 24-inch octagonal barrel is a defining characteristic, offering increased sight radius, enhanced balance, and superior heat dissipation during extended shooting sessions. The .45 Colt chambering delivers a versatile ballistic profile suitable for cowboy action shooting, medium-game hunting, and recreational plinking. While the exterior may display handling marks, the action, barrel, and all critical components are factory-new and fully functional. This rifle is a practical choice for those who value mechanical excellence over showroom condition.

Features & Specs

Every Rossi M92 45 Colt lever-action rifle with 24 inch octagonal barrel (cosmetic blemishes) is built to exacting specifications derived from the original John Browning design. The following list details the key mechanical and dimensional attributes of this firearm:

• Action: Lever-action with a forged steel receiver, case-hardened lever, and a smooth, short-throw cycling mechanism. The bolt is a two-piece design with a locking block that engages the receiver, ensuring secure lockup under high-pressure loads.
• Barrel: 24-inch octagonal profile, blued steel, with a 1:38-inch twist rate optimized for standard .45 Colt ammunition. The barrel is fitted with a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight and a brass bead front sight for rapid target acquisition.
• Stock & Forend: Brazilian hardwood with a satin lacquer finish. The stock features a straight grip and a crescent buttplate, maintaining the traditional cowboy-era aesthetic. The forend is secured by a single barrel band with a magazine tube hanger.

The cosmetic blemishes on this Rossi M92 45 Colt lever-action rifle with 24 inch octagonal barrel (cosmetic blemishes) are strictly superficial. Common examples include light scuffing on the receiver flats, minor scratches on the barrel octagon flats, or small handling marks on the stock. These imperfections do not compromise the firearm’s accuracy, reliability, or safety. The bore, chamber, and action are pristine.

• Capacity: 10+1 rounds (tubular magazine under barrel). Magazine loading is performed through a loading gate on the right side of the receiver.
• Overall Length: 42.5 inches. Weight: Approximately 7.5 pounds unloaded, providing a well-balanced feel for off-hand shooting.
• Safety Features: Includes a manual cross-bolt safety located at the rear of the receiver, as well as a half-cock hammer position for additional carry security.
