Pedersoli Black Widow
Davide Pedersoli & C. · Carbine · In Production · 2023
Overview
The Pedersoli Black Widow is a compact .22 Long Rifle single-shot takedown carbine built on a break-action tip-up barrel. Its rotating barrel and removable fore-end allow the barrel to be folded back over the technopolymer stock for a small storage footprint, making it a lightweight recreational and survival plinker. The barrel is muzzle-threaded (1/2"-28) and the receiver carries Picatinny mounting points for optics.

Background
Named for the spider, the Black Widow's barrel pivots and folds back over the stock so the whole rifle collapses to little more than the length of its own action, letting it disappear into a pack.
