II:BREAK ACTION RIFLE OVERVIEW
Break-Action design firearms are so described due to the
fact that the barrel and receiver are joined by a pivoting
hinge. When the action release is depressed in a rearward
motion, the receiver and barrel open in a breaking motion.
A variety of finishes & stock configurations are available.
Your Tip Up rifle is based off of the Wesson Tip Up. This
is a pre-1900 designed single shot rifle and meets the
requirements of those states that require such a firearm for
use in their primitive seasons. It is important to note though
that safety features have been added to this firearm that
were not part of its original design, but still make the rifle
compliant as a pre 1900 design. Be sure to check your state
for rules and regulations regarding which weapons are legal
for use during prescribed season(s).
