- a buttstock assembly having an aperture shaped to at least partially enclose and protect a barrel shank of the takedown firearm, the barrel shank configured to couple to a receiver of the takedown firearm, the buttstock assembly further having a tang and a recess for providing a clearance for a barrel of the firearm;
- and
- a forend assembly configured for coupling to a barrel having the barrel shank, the forend assembly removably couplable to the buttstock assembly at a first location and a second location and the forend assembly having a recess for receiving the barrel of the firearm;
- wherein,
- when the forend assembly is coupled to the buttstock assembly at the first location, the forend assembly is positioned to support the barrel of the firearm in a longitudinal firing position;
- and
- when the forend assembly is coupled to the buttstock assembly at the second location, the forend assembly is nested in a storage cavity of the buttstock assembly.
A takedown firearm, comprising:
