The Rossi LWC .357 Magnum is a lightweight single-shot break-action carbine with a 16.5-inch threaded barrel (Rossi part no. LWC357M-BK). The Lightweight Carbine family is built for shooters who want a simple, affordable rifle for target practice, hunting and plinking. A Picatinny rail on top takes an optic, and the threaded barrel is ready to host a suppressor. A black oxide barrel and polymer stock keep it light for a long day afield.

Key Specifications

• The rifle is chambered in .357 Magnum, a classic revolver cartridge that gains velocity from a rifle-length barrel.
• Capacity is one round, loaded directly into the chamber of the break-open action.
• The action is a break-open single shot, simple and reliable.
• The barrel measures 16.5 inches and is alloy steel with a black oxide finish.
• The barrel is threaded, as Rossi states for the entire LWC family, so it can host a suppressor.
• Rifling is a 1:30 right-hand twist, a rate matched to the handgun-style bullets of the .357 Magnum.
• Overall length is 31.5 inches, compact for a rifle with a 16.5-inch barrel.
• Weight is 83.84 ounces unloaded, light enough to carry all day.
• Safety is a cross-bolt safety with a transfer bar, which blocks the trigger until you are ready to fire.
• A Picatinny rail serves as the rear sight base, so a red dot or scope can be mounted.
