ABSTRACT:
A break down triple-barrel shotgun includes three barrels, having two bottom barrels and one top barrel positioned on top of the two bottom barrels. In this respect, the triple-barrel shotgun has features of both side by side and over and under shotguns. The triple-barrel shotgun has simple break down mechanical features and provides increased shot opportunities with the reliability of a breakdown shotgun. As a result, the number of shells that are jammed is lowered or eliminated in comparison with conventional three shot shotguns. Also, the cleaning, maintenance, and care of a shotgun having a three shot capability is simplified in comparison with conventional three shot shotguns. The subject triple-barrel shotgun is especially useful for waterfowl hunting for which a maximum of three shot capability is mandated. The triple-barrel shotgun allows the use of three interchangeable choke tubes, that allow the shot patterns to be changed or adjusted with respect to pattern density.
