What’s Included
- Rossi Model 92 Puma .44-40 Win lever-action rifle (custom leather-wrapped lever loop)
The Model 92 Puma is a faithful reproduction with the features enthusiasts expect: a top-eject receiver, right-side loading gate, and a full-length tubular magazine. Chambered in .44-40 Win, the barrel is clearly roll-marked '44-40 WIN' and the capacity is 7+1.
The 20-inch octagon barrel pairs with traditional iron sights, including a dovetailed front blade and an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear with elevator. This setup provides a proven sight picture suited to the platform and cartridge.
Construction is all-steel where it counts, with a blued receiver and barrel, and wood furniture for a classic look and feel. The stock is a straight-grip design with an uncheckered finish, a crescent steel buttplate, and a steel forend cap.
Operation is lever action with an exposed hammer featuring a spur for positive control. Safety features include a bolt-top safety and a half-cock notch. The right-side loading gate feeds a full-length tubular magazine under the barrel.
This example includes a custom leather wrap on the lever loop, providing a practical enhancement to the rifle’s handling while maintaining period-correct aesthetic cues.
