Rossi released the single-shot LWC (Light Weight Carbine) last year, and it was a slick, light, compact brush gun. Now, they’re making it even more compact with the introduction of the LWC Folding Stock Rifle.
The LWC Folding Stock Rifle
I saw the folding stock on Rossi’s SS Survival Rifle at SHOT show this year and thought it was pretty slick. I hadn’t considered them adding it to the LWC line, but it makes sense. The new LWC carbine has a 16-inch threaded barrel and a Picatinny rail for optics mounting. The original models were 5.25 pounds and 31.5 inches in overall length. Pretty handy as is.
From the specs on Rossi’s website, it looks like the weight and overall length remain the same, but you’re knocking off maybe 10 inches or so with the stock folded. That makes for a very compact package for a pack or truck gun.
While the original LWC carbine comes in a pretty wide variety of calibers, the LWC Folding Stock Rifle comes in the two most popular calibers, .300 Blackout and 5.56. MSRP on the new rifles is a very reasonable $333.99. If you already have an LWC, though, you can also get the stock by itself for $59.99 to upgrade your existing rifle.
I have an LWC in .350 Legend already, and it’s been a great rifle. Light, compact, and handy. It’s a great suppressor platform, too. I’ve been using it in conjunction with a Griffin Sportsman Ultra Light HD .36 suppressor. The folding stock by itself is pretty reasonable, too, so I’ll probably grab one to try on my rifle soon.
If you want a light, economical, suppressor-ready carbine, the LWC was already a great deal. With the addition of the LWC Folding Rifle to the Rossi line, you can now get it in an even more compact package.
