Abstract
A take-down rifle is described that can be separated into two halves to allow the rifle to be transported, cleaned, etc. easier. The takedown rifle includes a takedown mechanism that is used to couple the two halves of the rifle together. The takedown mechanism may move between a first position where the takedown mechanism holds the two halves together and a second position where the two halves are released. In one embodiment, the takedown mechanism may include a securing member that is selectively moved into and out of a recess in the barrel to hold and release the two halves. The securing member may be moved into and out of the recess with a lever, threaded fastener, or the like.
