Rossi M92 45 Colt Lever-Action Rifle With 24 Inch Octagonal Barrel (Cosmetic Blemishes)

For the shooter who values mechanical integrity over cabinet finish, the Rossi M92 45 Colt lever-action rifle with 24 inch octagonal barrel (cosmetic blemishes) represents a significant value proposition. This is not a safe queen. It is a working rifle built on the proven Browning 1892 action, chambered in the venerable .45 Colt cartridge, and equipped with a heavy 24-inch octagonal barrel for extended sight radius and improved balance. The “cosmetic blemishes” designation indicates minor handling marks, finish variations, or light scratches on the metal or wood that do not affect function, accuracy, or safety. Each unit is fully factory-functional and covered by Rossi’s standard warranty. This is an ideal entry point for cowboy action shooting, ranch work, or brush hunting where the first scratch is inevitable.

Overview

The Rossi M92 is a direct descendant of John Browning’s iconic 1892 lever-action design, scaled specifically for the .45 Colt cartridge. The 24-inch octagonal barrel provides a full-length magazine tube, increasing capacity and delivering the classic Western profile. The action cycles smoothly with standard .45 Colt rounds, including 250-grain lead flat-point loads commonly used in Cowboy Action Shooting. The blued steel receiver and barrel are mated to a hardwood stock with a straight-grip wrist. Cosmetic blemishes on this model may include light scuffing on the barrel flats, minor wood compression at the toe, or inconsistent bluing depth on the receiver. Mechanically, the action, trigger, and bore are as specified for a new production firearm.

Features & Specs

• Caliber & Action: .45 Colt (Long Colt) lever-action with a forged steel receiver. The action features a two-position safety (half-cock or cross-bolt, depending on production year) and a smooth cycling mechanism suitable for rapid follow-up shots.
• Barrel & Sights: 24-inch blued octagonal barrel with a 1:38-inch twist rate, optimized for standard-pressure .45 Colt loads. Equipped with a brass bead front sight and a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight. The extended sight radius measures approximately 28 inches.
• Capacity & Dimensions: 10-round tubular magazine (typically 9+1 or 10+1 depending on follower design). Overall length is approximately 42 inches. Weight is approximately 7.5 pounds, unloaded. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, though the octagonal barrel profile may require specific rings.
• Cosmetic Condition: Factory-new with cosmetic blemishes. These are non-functional surface imperfections that do not compromise the firearm’s structural integrity or accuracy. No two rifles have identical blemishes.

Who It’s For

This specific variant of the rossi m92 45 colt lever-action rifle with 24 inch octagonal barrel (cosmetic blemishes) is intended for the practical shooter who prioritizes mechanical soundness over display-grade cosmetics. It is well-suited for Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) competitors who will reblue or refinish the rifle anyway, or for hunters in dense brush where a pristine stock is unrealistic. It is also an excellent choice for the budget-conscious collector who wants a functional 1892-pattern rifle without paying the premium for a perfect finish. The .45 Colt chambering is effective for whitetail deer, hogs, and black bear at typical lever-action ranges (under 150 yards) when using appropriate hard-cast or jacketed soft-point ammunition. The rossi m92 45 colt lever-action rifle with 24 inch octagonal barrel (cosmetic blemishes) is not recommended for safe display or as an investment piece due to the cosmetic defects. It is a shooter’s tool.
