contact Rossi for an owner's manual for your shotgun. For MOST side by side shotguns- check that the gun is unloaded. Place shotgun on SAFE. Remove the forearm (some have a retaining screw or pin, some snap in place and are removed by pulling) Once the forearm is removed, hold the barrel with your left hand, press the barrel release with your right hand, let the barrel swing open, and unhook the barrels from the receiver. Unless replacing broken or worn parts, stop there, and do not attempt to disassemble the receiver.
I believe the only Iver Johnson made with a 2 inch barrel and is not a break but a swing out is actually called the "swing out" made is several calibers 22, 32, and 38 and 2,3,4 inch barrels they were made from 1977-1984. In NEW condition they are a $100 gun.
Its easy, simply swing your arms simotaniously (MAKE SURE THEY ARE GOING INWARDS NOT OUTWARD)
Depends on the revolver. Some inexpensive guns had a removable cylinder pin- it would be removed, the cylinder could now be removed, and the pin used to eject empties. Older revolvers may have been "top break" guns- raising the cylinder latch permitted to barrel and cylinder to swing open on a hing, much like a double barreled shotgun opens.
Fox Model "Swing Out" Hammer Double Manufactured from 1870 to 1884, designed by George H. Fox, not to be confused with A. H. Fox. This model is unusual in that the barrel swings to the right for loading and the barrel release is located on the tang. It comes in 10 and 12 gauge, 26", 28", 30", 32", with twist, Damascus or laminated barrels. Early production models have conventional soldered together barrels. Later variations after 1878 feature a unique design in that the barrels are dovetailed together. These guns could be ordered with several options and choices of finish; this would add premium value to a particular gun.
About $100.
When you swing out the cylinder, it'll be visible on the frame under the piece that holds the barrel.
It's under the cylinder swing near the barrel.
Small changes in length have little effect. Large changes have more effect. Longer barrels in hunting shotguns are used to control the swing of the gun while tracking birds rather than effective range considerations.
They didn't. The barrel swung out to the side. 1926-35
When you swing out the cylinder, it'll be visible on the frame under the piece that holds the barrel.
Depending on the condition of the gun and if it has been engraved or not, they have been selling for $200 to $1500.00 or a little more..Again it all depends on the condition..If the gun has any rust, pitting or alterations made to the gun it will reduce the value greatly!!!
