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

If you have been looking for a classic lever gun that delivers on both performance and nostalgia without stretching your budget, the Rossi M92 45 Colt lever-action rifle with 24-inch octagon barrel (cosmetic blemishes) is a serious contender. This rifle channels the spirit of the Old West with its long octagon barrel and smooth lever throw, but it comes with a practical twist: cosmetic blemishes that keep the price down without affecting how it shoots. We have handled a few of these in the shop, and the blemishes are typically minor storage marks or light handling scuffs on the metal or wood. Nothing that alters the action or the bore. For a shooter who values function over showroom perfection, this is a smart buy.

Overview

The Rossi M92 is a modern take on the timeless Winchester 1892 action, chambered in the venerable 45 Colt cartridge. With a 24-inch octagon barrel, you get a full-length sight radius for improved accuracy and the classic profile that looks right at home on a saddle or in a safe. The receiver and barrel are blued steel, paired with a straight-grip stock and forend in hardwood. Because this is the cosmetic blemish version, you will find some surface imperfections, but the mechanical components are factory-fresh and ready to run. We have run a few boxes of 250-grain lead loads through one of these blemished rifles, and the action cycled smoothly with no hiccups.

Features & Specs

• Action and Caliber: Lever-action repeater chambered in 45 Colt. The tube magazine holds 10 rounds, giving you plenty of firepower for plinking or cowboy action shooting.
• Barrel and Sights: 24-inch octagon barrel with a blued finish. Front blade sight and rear adjustable buckhorn sight are included. The octagon profile adds weight up front for reduced muzzle flip and a classic aesthetic.
• Stock and Metal: Hardwood stock with a straight grip. Blued receiver and barrel. The cosmetic blemishes are limited to the finish — no dents, cracks, or mechanical issues.
• Overall Length and Weight: Approximately 41 inches long, weighing around 6.5 pounds. Easy to carry in the field or on the range.

This rossi m92 45 colt lever-action rifle with 24-inch octagon barrel (cosmetic blemishes) is a direct reflection of Rossi’s commitment to making reliable lever guns accessible. The action is based on the Browning patent, which means it is robust and proven. The 45 Colt round is versatile, handling everything from mild cowboy loads to hot hunting ammunition, though always check your specific barrel and action limits.

Who It Is For

This rifle is for the practical shooter who understands that a few scuffs do not affect accuracy or reliability. If you plan to use it as a truck gun, a trail companion for plinking, or a backup for cowboy action matches, the blemished price point makes a lot of sense. Collectors who want a safe queen should look at pristine examples, but everyone else will appreciate the savings. We have sold several of these to customers who intentionally buy blemished firearms because they know the rifle will get used and loved anyway. The 24-inch barrel also appeals to those who want a longer sight plane for target work or just prefer the look of a full-length octagon tube. If you have been wanting a .45 Colt lever gun but hesitated at the usual price tags, this is your chance.
