Takedown gun

Takedown gun

A takedown gun (typically a takedown rifle or takedown shotgun) is a long gun designed to be taken apart so that its length is significantly reduced, making it easier to store, pack, travel with, and hide. A variety of barrel, stock, and receiver designs have been invented to accomplish takedown ability. For example, the hinged design of many break-action firearms allows takedown. Some regular firearms can be modified to allow takedown after custom gunsmithing.

Rifles

American gun manufacturers Marlin, Savage, and Winchester have made takedown rifles since the late 1800s. Both centerfire and rimfire rifles are available in takedown configuration.
