Rossi R92 Stainless 16” Carbine Stainless .44 Magnum New in Box
Description: The R92 Carbine Stainless is one of the few lever-action rifles made today in stainless steel, aside from the Marlin Model 1895. It is a classic copy of the original Winchester Model 1892 rifle designed by John Moses Browning, the fame inventor of the Model 1911 pistol and Auto-5 shotgun. Unlike the original rifle, the R92 features a bolt mounted manual safety. While somewhat out of place, it does ensure the rifle cannot go off accidentally under any circumstances. This rifle is brand new in the box. It features a round, 16-inch long and magazine tube capable of holding 8 rounds. It has Brazilian Hardwood furniture and a polished stainless finish. Overall length is 33.2 inches. It should be mentioned that the R92 in 44 Magnum can also safely fire the .44 S&W Special and the .44 S&W Russian. This is because both of those cartridges are the .44 Magnum’s predecessors, both being slightly shorter in length but having the same rim diameter. The .44 S&W Russian is the original cartridge and was introduced in 1870 as a black powder cartridge. It marked the first use of internally lubricated bullets in modern firearms ammunition. Previously, the nose or front end of a bullet was actually the same diameter as the case. For this reason, revolver cylinders at that time did not have shoulders for the case to rest up against. The .44 S&W Russian essentially brought about this feature in revolver design. The switch in bullet types is also why older .44 cartridges used bullets of .440” diameter and modern ones are actually .429” diameter. Eventually, the .44 Russian was lengthened to create the .44 Special in 1907. The same was done with the .44 Special to create the .44 Magnum in 1954. The R92 would make an excellent partner for any .44 Magnum Revolver such as the Smith & Wesson Model 29, Dan Wesson Models 44 and 744, the Ruger Super Blackhawk, Redhawk, and Super Redhawk, and the Colt Anaconda. This was an important consideration back in the days of the Old West. A person who had a rifle and a pistol in the same caliber only had to carry one type of round, thus saving weight.
