The Rossi Model 92 357 Mag/38 Special Carbine stands as a proven lever-action platform designed for shooters who demand reliability and versatility in a compact package. Chambered for both .357 Magnum and .38 Special cartridges, this carbine delivers manageable recoil with substantial terminal performance, making it a practical choice for ranch work, trail defense, and recreational shooting.

Overview

The Rossi Model 92 357 Mag/38 Special Carbine is a lever-action rifle that bridges the gap between classic American firearm heritage and contemporary shooting requirements. With a 16-inch barrel and an overall length of 33 inches, it remains highly maneuverable without sacrificing accuracy. The carbine accepts both .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammunition, providing shooters with flexibility for plinking, hunting, or defensive scenarios. Its blued steel finish and hardwood stock maintain a traditional aesthetic while the action is machined to tight tolerances for reliable feeding and extraction. This rifle is imported by Rossi, a brand recognized for producing functional lever guns at an accessible price point.

Features & Specs

The Rossi Model 92 357 Mag/38 Special Carbine incorporates several design elements that enhance its utility and durability. The action utilizes a toggle-link locking system derived from John Browning’s original 1892 design, known for its strength and smooth operation. The carbine features a tubular magazine with a capacity of 10 rounds in .357 Magnum or 10 rounds in .38 Special, allowing for extended shooting sessions without frequent reloading. The barrel is rifled with a 1:16 twist rate, optimized for the velocity range of both cartridges.

• Caliber: .357 Magnum / .38 Special (interchangeable)
• Barrel Length: 16 inches with blued finish
• Overall Length: 33 inches, weight approximately 5.6 pounds
• Action: Lever-action with side ejection and hammer block safety
• Stock: Brazilian hardwood with straight grip and metal buttplate
• Sights: Fixed front blade with dovetailed rear sight, drilled and tapped for scope mount

The Rossi Model 92 357 Mag/38 Special Carbine also includes a safety transfer bar mechanism, preventing accidental discharge if the hammer is not fully cocked. The receiver is machined from steel, and the lever is contoured for gloved hand use. The carbine’s compact profile and light weight make it suitable for carrying in vehicles or saddle scabbards.

Who It’s For

This carbine is designed for shooters who need a multipurpose firearm that performs across different roles. It suits ranchers and landowners requiring a reliable tool for predator control or dispatch work. The Rossi Model 92 357 Mag/38 Special Carbine is also appropriate for hunters pursuing deer or hogs within typical lever-action ranges, using .357 Magnum loads with expanding bullets. Recreational shooters will appreciate the low recoil and ammunition cost savings when using .38 Special rounds at the range. Additionally, this rifle serves as a practical option for home defense due to its manageable length and stopping power with defensive .357 Magnum ammunition. It is not recommended for long-range precision shooting or high-volume tactical applications due to the lever-action mechanism and limited magazine capacity.

• Ranchers and farmers needing a truck or saddle gun
• Hunters targeting medium game at close to moderate distances
• Collectors of traditional lever-action designs seeking an affordable shooter
• Shooters wanting a dual-caliber platform for training and field use
