Rossi Model 92 357 Mag Lever-Action Carbine with Stainless Barrel

The Rossi Model 92 357 Mag Lever-Action Carbine with Stainless Barrel represents a faithful evolution of the legendary Winchester 1892 action, modernized for the contemporary shooter. Chambered in .357 Magnum and also accepting .38 Special, this carbine delivers proven reliability in a compact, fast-handling package. The stainless steel barrel provides enhanced corrosion resistance, making it a durable choice for hunters, sport shooters, and ranch use. Each rifle is built in Brazil by Rossi under stringent quality controls, ensuring consistent headspace and smooth cycling.

Overview

The Rossi Model 92 is a lever-action repeating rifle that uses a short, robust bolt and a vertically sliding locking block. The 357 Mag chambering allows the shooter to use both .357 Magnum and .38 Special loads, offering versatility from mild target loads to potent defensive or hunting ammunition. The stainless barrel is not merely a cosmetic upgrade; it is a functional component that resists rust and fouling better than standard blued steel, making it an ideal choice for humid environments or rough field use. The action is engineered for smooth cycling, and the carbine-length 16-inch barrel keeps the overall length maneuverable.

Features & Specs

This carbine is built around a forged steel receiver and a 16-inch stainless steel barrel with a 1:30-inch twist rate, optimized for the weight and velocity of .357 Magnum projectiles. The magazine tube holds up to 10 rounds of .357 Magnum or 10 rounds of .38 Special. The rear sight is a semi-buckhorn adjustable for elevation, and the front sight is a brass bead dovetailed into a ramp. The stock is hardwood with a satin finish, and the forend is fitted with a metal cap.

The Rossi Model 92 357 Mag Lever-Action Carbine with Stainless Barrel also features a side ejection port, allowing for low-profile scope mounting if desired. The lever throw is shorter than many traditional lever actions, aiding in rapid follow-up shots.

Who It’s For

This carbine is suited for shooters who demand a reliable, light-recoiling rifle for a variety of tasks. The .357 Magnum cartridge, when fired from a 16-inch barrel, delivers muzzle velocities in the 1,400-1,500 fps range with 125-grain loads, making it capable for deer-sized game at reasonable distances. The stainless barrel makes it a practical choice for hunters who work in wet brush or coastal climates. It also appeals to cowboy action shooters, plinkers, and those who want a companion rifle for a .357 Magnum revolver, sharing ammunition. The Rossi Model 92 357 Mag Lever-Action Carbine with Stainless Barrel is not a target benchrest rifle; it is a working firearm for the field, the ranch, or the range.

• Hunters seeking a lightweight, fast-handling brush gun for whitetail or hog
• Revolver owners desiring a matching lever-action for shared ammunition logistics
• Shooters who prioritize corrosion resistance for outdoor storage or wet conditions
• Ranch or property owners needing a reliable carbine for varmint or utility use

• Not recommended for long-range precision shooting; effective range with open sights is typically under 150 yards
• Stock drop and comb height may require cheek risers for use with optics
• Lever-action cycling requires deliberate practice; not a semi-automatic
