Without the barrel attached....you are kidding right
....if the barrel is not attached, then the cart case is unsupported......not likely to be very accurate at all.....down right dangerous would be a better word......even a pistol has a barrel and chamber.......
....if the barrel is not attached, then the cart case is unsupported......not likely to be very accurate at all.....down right dangerous would be a better word......even a pistol has a barrel and chamber.......Do you mean without the barrelled action attached to the stock? Almost any barrelled action can be fired when removed from the stock, but because it is not intended to be used that way, it is not considered to be a pistol.
There are a couple of takedown .22s which you see frequently. There is the Marlin Papoose, and the AR-7. The Marlin is more conventional, basically their magazine fed .22 with a removable shorter barrel in an abbreviated stock. The AR-7 is purpose built, with a bulky plastic stock which holds the action and barrel when the unit is taken down.

HAHA oops - brain fart - thats funny - I was just thinking about quadding this fall, be nice to point and click at grouse. without going through much effort (just don't attach the barrel... hehe
Man thats funny - I guess I thought the action was a little longer, I've never seen one taken apart with respect to barrel / action.

you know... now someone has to try it
maybe just thread a Noveske into the action to shield from the brass shrapnel. or visit the local plumbing stock for a 1 inch black pipe coupler
mmmm I bet that pipe thread will mate to tapped action good!
that would be pretty cool - it'd be like a 22 and mini shot gun all at once!
hehe
Now we are apporach Matt Damon Level. Where did I put my dunce cap.

Ive got 3 Takedown survival rifles and they all retain there zero really well and are quite accurate. The Papoose in particular will pop all 8 rounds into 1.5" from sitting at 25yds. The Springfield AR6 is a little harder to shoot due to its weird stock and trigger lever, but it will do 1" groups at 20yds with the peep sight and hit a Chicken on the fly with the .410 or a Nub Buck with a slug. The Gevarm although heavier fires from a open bolt and generally slams around a bit, but it carries 30rds so its alot of fun.
Takedown survival rifles are great fun for Mountain-biking.

I have one of these, they are better quality than most and accurate too.
