Rossi Model 92 Carbine 44 Magnum 10-Shot Rifle

The Rossi Model 92 Carbine 44 Magnum 10-Shot Rifle represents a modern continuation of the classic Winchester 1892 lever-action platform, engineered specifically for the 44 Magnum cartridge. This carbine combines traditional action styling with contemporary manufacturing tolerances, resulting in a reliable, fast-handling firearm suited for medium-game hunting, ranch work, and recreational shooting. Built by Rossi, a Brazilian manufacturer with decades of export experience to the United States market, this model maintains the short-throw lever cycle and controlled-round feed that defined the original design.

Overview

The Rossi Model 92 Carbine 44 Magnum 10-Shot Rifle features a 20-inch blued steel barrel, a tubular magazine capacity of 10 rounds (9 in the tube plus one in the chamber), and an overall length of 37 inches. The action is based on John Browning’s 1892 patent, using a vertical sliding bolt with dual locking lugs that engage recesses in the receiver bridge. This design provides sufficient strength to handle the pressure curve of 44 Magnum ammunition while maintaining a slim receiver profile. The carbine comes standard with adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight and a brass bead front sight, both dovetailed into the barrel. Weight is approximately 5.8 pounds unloaded, making it one of the lighter lever-action carbines available in this caliber.

Features and Specs

• Caliber: 44 Remington Magnum (also accepts 44 Special for reduced-recoil practice). Barrel length: 20 inches, 1:38-inch twist rate, 6 grooves. Action type: lever-action with exposed hammer, manual safety transfer bar, and half-cock safety notch.
• Magazine capacity: 10 rounds total (9-round tubular magazine plus 1 in chamber). Loading port on right side of receiver. Magazine spring tension maintains reliable feeding with both 240-grain and 300-grain bullet profiles.
• Stock and furniture: Brazilian hardwood stock with straight grip, blued steel crescent buttplate, and blued steel forend cap. Sling swivel studs installed at factory. Receiver drilled and tapped for scope mounting (scope base not included).

The Rossi Model 92 Carbine 44 Magnum 10-Shot Rifle utilizes a forged steel receiver with case-hardened finish on the lever and loading gate. The trigger pull weight is factory-set between 4.5 and 6.5 pounds. The carbine cycles both jacketed and lead bullet loads reliably, though Rossi recommends a break-in period of 50 to 100 rounds to smooth the action. The barrel is button-rifled and chambered to SAAMI specifications. Overall, this is a spec-complete lever gun that requires no aftermarket modification for functional operation.

Who It Is For

This carbine is appropriate for shooters who require a lever-action rifle in 44 Magnum for deer hunting within 100 to 150 yards, for property defense against large predators in bear country, or for cowboy action shooting competition. The 10-shot capacity and 20-inch barrel provide a balance between magazine volume and handling speed in thick brush. Shooters who reload 44 Magnum ammunition will benefit from the carbine’s ability to cycle a wide range of bullet weights and powder charges. The Rossi Model 92 Carbine 44 Magnum 10-Shot Rifle is also suitable for new lever-action users due to its straightforward manual of arms and manageable recoil when firing 44 Special loads. It is not intended for high-volume benchrest shooting or for use with maximum-pressure handloads exceeding published data.
