This has generated a fair amount of confusion as in the space of a couple of years the same Puma 92 rifles and carbines have been re-sold by LSI, but made by 2 different manufacturers (Rossi and Armi Sport Chiappa). If a Puma 1892 does not have these features, it was probably a model manufactured by Rossi prior to January 1, 2009. They will normally (but not always) have a prefix of T for their serial numbers. LSI then contracted Armi-Sport Chiappa of Italy to manufacture a Model 92 clone under the same Puma name for them and the current LSI Puma rifle is made by Armi-Sport Chiappa in Italy.Ĭonsequently, since January 1, 2009, all Puma Model 92s have been manufactured by Armi-Sport Chiappa, although you may still encounter a Braztech Rossi Model 92 in a Puma box - which adds to the general confusion.Īll of the Armi-Sport Chiappa made rifles and carbines made for LSI are marked manufactured by Chiappa Firearms for LSI. When that happened, the contract to supply the Puma rifle to LSI was terminated.
