Rossi has been making single shotguns for some time, and their turkey shotguns are especially well-known. This new Light Weight Carbine is remarkably small. You might need a Rossi LWC in every caliber — and you could afford it.
This gun looks like it’s too short to own without a stamp for a short-barreled rifle, but looks are deceiving. It appears short because its break-open action doesn’t require the length we normally see with a bolt action.

The barrel is 16.5″ long, but starts just in front of the chamber, much farther back on the forend than a bolt action barrel. Its overall length is just 31.5″. And without all that action metal, it weighs just 5.25 pounds.


Suppressors are ideal with the LWC’s short and light footprint. It could be an ideal hunting rifle. With a suppressor, it’ll still be shorter than many guns. Its thick barrel is there 5/8″-16. Also, it’s chambered in calibers that are ideal for use with suppressors:
- .357 Magnum
- .350 Legend
- .300 Blackout
- 5.56 NATO
- 6.5 Creedmoor (coming soon)
- 8.6 Blackout (coming soon)

Rossi keeps this gun’s price low. Remember when all kinds of rifles were available for $300? At $333.99, you’ll find good sales that won’t break the bank.

Get one in 5.56 for varmints and one in 6.5 for deer, and keep both in the truck. Rossi’s LWC is shipping now with more caliber options coming soon.
