Quackenbush, H.M. Safety Cartridge Rifle

The Safety Cartridge Rifle is a take-down boy's single-shot rifle chambered in .22 rimfire caliber. It was invented and manufactured by industrialist Henry M. Quackenbush from 1886 to 1920 and around 50,000 of them were made in that time. Quackenbush manufactured several models of air rifles as well. Steel barrel. Automatic cartridge extractor. The barrel and parts are nickeled, except the breech block that is case hardened in color. The patented breech swings to the right side for loading, and it was not strong enough for heavier calibers than .22 rimfire. The barrel can be instantly removed from the frame, making a handy arm to carry. They came with either a fixed wire stock or one that slid forward for use as a "bicycle rifle" nearly identical with the stock later used on the USAF M4 survival rifle. The original price for the 18 inch barrel version was $4.65 and the 22 inch barrel version was $4.85.
