Rossi Lwc Rifles Single Shot 2
About this product
The Rossi LWC (Lightweight Carbine) is a single-shot, break-action rifle built for hunters and shooters who want a simple, affordable gun that punches well above its price point. This listing is priced at $333.99, and as a firearm it ships to a licensed FFL dealer for pickup — not to a home address.
What is the Rossi LWC good for?
People searching rossi single shot rifles or rossi single shot rifle calibers are usually looking for a no-frills hunting rifle, a truck gun, or a first deer rifle for a young or new hunter. Break-action single-shots like the LWC are about as simple as a rifle gets to operate and maintain — there is no magazine, no bolt cycling to learn, just break it open, load one round, close it, and shoot — which makes it a popular choice for mentoring new hunters.
What are the LWC's build and features?
The LWC uses a lightweight steel receiver with a polymer overmold, built on the same basic action as Rossi's Tuffy and Brawler line, paired with a 16.5-inch barrel and a synthetic stock for an unloaded weight around 5.25 pounds — light to carry all day in the field. It is hammer-fired with both a transfer bar and a manual cross-bolt safety for redundant safety mechanisms, and it has a Picatinny rail machined into the top of the receiver rather than iron sights, so you are expected to mount an optic. Every barrel in the LWC line ships threaded, which means this rifle is suppressor-ready out of the box if that is legal where you live. The LWC family is offered across a wide range of calibers — .350 Legend, .300 Blackout, 5.56 NATO, 6.5 Creedmoor, .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, 8.6 Blackout, and .45 Colt/.410 among them — so confirm the exact caliber marked on this specific rifle with your FFL before you finalize your ammunition plans.
Is a single-shot rifle like the LWC restricted in California?
Single-shot, break-action rifles generally avoid the detachable-magazine and feature-based restrictions California places on semi-automatic centerfire rifles, since there is no magazine or semi-auto action for the state's assault weapons statute to key off of. That said, rules can vary by caliber and configuration, and it is still worth having your FFL confirm current compliance before the sale goes through — a five-minute phone call beats a surprise at pickup.
What accessories work with the LWC?
Because the receiver has a Picatinny rail machined in rather than iron sights, almost any rail-mount red dot or scope with the right rings goes on without additional gunsmithing, and the threaded muzzle means a suppressor or muzzle brake is a straightforward add if your state allows it. The synthetic stock also keeps the rifle light enough that a young or smaller-framed shooter is not fighting the gun's weight in addition to learning fundamentals, which is a meaningful part of why Rossi markets the LWC as a mentoring rifle as much as a budget option.
Break-action rifles are also simple to store and transport safely, since the action can be left open with a visible empty chamber far more easily than a bolt or semi-auto action, which some households and hunting camps prefer for that reason alone.
Your order and background check run through our secure checkout, and once cleared we will get the rifle moving to the FFL you select. For a break-action rifle that covers everything from a starter deer gun to a suppressor host, the LWC is one of the more flexible options at this price.

This item is a firearm and ships only to a licensed FFL dealer, never to a home address. At checkout, enter your preferred dealer as the shipping address, or leave it blank and we will assign a licensed dealer near you at no extra cost. You complete the background check and paperwork with the dealer when you pick up.
California buyers: handguns must be on the California roster for delivery to a California FFL, a Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) and DROS are handled at the dealer, and the 10-day waiting period applies. Out-of-state buyers receive the firearm through their own local FFL under their state's rules.
