Little Badger Survival Rifle

The Little Badger Survival Rifle has a barrel length of 16.5 inches and measures 31 inches.[2] It is a single shot break-action rifle and when folded, measures around 17.5 inches. The Little Badger features a wire buttstock and has a 12 round ammunition holder. Unloaded, it weighs approximately 2.9 pounds.[2] Its safety mechanism is its hammer, which can be half-cocked to prevent accidental firing. The barrel is threaded at 28 threads per inch.[1] It uses M1 carbine type sights and Picatinny rails on the barrel for additional sights, tac-lights, etc.[4] An additional small section of picatinny rail sits behind the trigger, allowing the user to add a pistol grip. This model is chambered for .22LR, .22 WMR, .17WSM and .17HMR.

Little Badger Shotgun

The Little Badger Shotgun is a Garden Gun version and is virtually identical to the rifle, except that it fires 9mm Flobert shot-shells from a 24-inch smooth-bore barrel, and lacks the sights and Picatinny rails.[5]

Little Badger Deluxe Shotgun

The Little Badger Deluxe Shotgun is another Garden Gun configuration.[3] It features wooden furniture.[6] It is 38.5 inches in overall length and fires 9mm Flobert shot-shells from a 24-inch smooth-bore barrel.[6]
