With the forearm removed from the barrel, hook the barrel onto the action at about a 45 degree angle. Once hooked, close the action. Replace the forearm to keep the barrel from coming off.

There is no "break in" shotgun. A "break open" shotgun is a single barrel, double barrel, or combination rifle/shotgun which breaks open in the sense that a lever will unlock the action, allowing the barrel to pivot at a hinge at the front of the receiver, pivoting the rear of the barrel up to expose the chamber. A shells may be loaded into the chamber and the barrel pivoted back to close the action. The act to "break in" a shotgun means to fire it a few times to loosen it up.
The water table is the part of the receiver that the barrels of a double barrel or single shot break-action shotgun rest on.
Brake barrel rifles are single shot rifles. After each shot you have to fold the barrel down (Break the barrel) in order to cock it again.

No known sn data published. Most likely made within a decade or two of the turn of the century.
Many early shotguns were single shot muzzleloaders. Some were double-barrel with barrels arranged side-by-side. This is also true of later breach-loading shotguns. The action style for these single and double-barrel breachloaders is 'break-open'.
What is the value of the amadeo rossi and cia s leopoldo rg sul break action double barrel shotgun? Can anyone answer this quickly? I have someone interested in buying it, and I don't have a clue to its' value.
In short, no. I have a single shot lever action Ithaca rifle, and a turn action Garcia Bronco .22. There have been auto ejecting single shots, and a LOT of bolt action single shots. The "trapdoor" Springfield rifle was not a break action.
