Rossi R92 Triple Black 16.5” Carbine .44 Magnum New in Box
Description: The R92 Triple Black is one of Rossi’s more interesting lever action rifles. The R92 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. The Triple Black is comparable to the Marlin Dark Series of lever action rifles. This rifle is brand new in the box, though it was briefly returned to the factory for warranty work. The rifle originally came with the barrel having the picatinny rail installed incorrectly. A quick trip back to the factory and the entire barrel assembly has been replaced (faster turnaround). Customer service was excellent. The rifle returned to the store with a paper target stating the rifle had been test fired with 8 rounds of Remington 44 Magnum ammunition at a distance of 10 yards. Please see the last picture. Overall, the rifle is still new and has not been fired outside of mandatory factory testing. The rifle features a round, 16.5-inch long barrel with installed picatinny for mounting a red dot or scope. Attached at the rear is a peep sight than can moved up and down a ramp by loosening a screw on the right side of the rear sight base. The rear sight is also drift adjustable, as is the front sight. The magazine tube is capable of holding 8 rounds. The stock on the Triple black is actually made of wood and not synthetic materials. The wood furniture is finished in a black on black splatter finish. The finish on the metal is a Cerakote black. This type of finish provides a much greater resistance to the elements than conventional bluing. The barrel is threaded for attaching a muzzle brake or suppressor and comes with a thread protector. The Triple Black uses the popular large loop lever for easier operation in winter conditions which generally requires the use of gloved hands. At the end of the day, the Triple Black is designed to provide excellent service in the harshest environments. Overall length of the rifle is 33.7 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.
