What’s Included
- Rossi R92 Puma M92 Large Loop .357 Magnum lever-action rifle
The 16-inch barrel keeps overall length short, making this R92 quick to shoulder and easy to maneuver in tight spaces. Despite the compact size, the full 8-round tubular magazine plus one in the chamber delivers nine shots of potent .357 Magnum or softer-recoiling .38 Special.
The oversized loop lever provides extra clearance for gloved hands and adds visual appeal reminiscent of classic western carbines. Smooth cycling and a 12.5-inch length of pull give shooters of different sizes comfortable, repeatable handling.
Rossi equips this carbine with traditional open sights: an unhooded blade up front and a semi-buckhorn rear sight on a stepped elevation ramp, allowing straightforward adjustment for varied distances. The straight-grip hardwood stock and matching fore-end wear a deep blued finish that complements the steel receiver.
Safety features include a bolt-top thumb safety and a half-cock hammer notch, giving users modern options without altering the rifle’s classic lines. Proof marks read “A. ROSSI S.A. – MADE IN BRAZIL” with “PUMA M92 IMPORTED BY L.S.I. RENO, NV,” confirming mid-2000s production during Legacy Sports’ transitional “Puma” branding.
