The Chiappa Little Badger [1] is a family of Italian-made survival rifles and shotguns manufactured by Chiappa Firearms. The three basic models are chambered for .22LR, .22 WMR, .17WSM, .17HMR, and 9mm Flobert. [2] [3]
The Little Badger Survival Rifle has a barrel length of 16.5 inches and measures 31 inches overall. [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. Some versions use 1/2x20 TPI [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.
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]
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]
