Other Flobert guns were brought home by American GI’s from service in WWI or WWII. Among these there were various 9mm shotguns and Rifles.

IT’S NOT A FLOBERT

Yet another single shot design, sometimes mistakenly referred to as a “Flobert,” is the Warnant.

The Warnant system consists of a pivoting breech that swings up and operates the extractor, similar to the U.S. “Trapdoor” Springfield. Part of the hammer locks the breech closed upon firing. There are single shot, side by side, and over/under examples of the Warnant design that are occasionally encountered.

This Anshutz 9mm action shows the U-shaped extractor that rides in a slot beneath the bolt on many 9mm shotguns. This piece is sometimes missing as it can fall out if the bolt is removed.

BOLT ACTIONS

The single shot bolt action is the most common type of 9mm rimfire firearm found. These are usually very simple guns. Some have Rifle sights and some have a simple bead sight; some cock on opening, others on closing. Some have a manual cocking piece. Many do not have a safety. Most have a simple U shaped extractor sliding in a slot underneath the bolt. (Note: Make sure the extractor is present in any 9mm bolt action you might be considering buying.. They can fall out if the bolt is removed and are frequently lost or broken.)
