A single-shot, break-action firearm provides the ultimate in simplicity, economy and utility, with many taking their first shots or heading out on their first hunt with a single-shot rifle or shotgun. Rossi has offered many single-shots over the years, including the Tuffy line-up of shotguns, Brawler pistol and the Tuffy Survival Rifle. New for 2024, the company is introducing the Lightweight Carbine (LWC), a single-shot rifle chambered for a number of centerfire cartridges.

The Rossi LWC is based on the action used for the Tuffy and Brawler, with its lightweight steel receiver with polymer overmold. Hammer fired, the LWC has both a transfer bar and a manual crossbolt safety. The action is opened with a release lever, and an ejector removes the spent case.  

The rifle’s buttstock and fore-end are polymer, with texturing in the gripping area. Front and rear quick-detachable sling studs, with the front set up for the use of a bipod. The steel barrel has its muzzle threaded for use of suppressors or other muzzle devices with a thread protector supplied. No iron sights are provided, but a section of Picatinny rail for the mounting of magnified or electronic optics is attached to the barrel.

All chamberings have a 16.5” barrel and the rifle has an overall length of 31.5” and weighs approximately 5.25 lbs. Steel parts are finished in a flat black oxide.
