Its a US military (air force I think) survival gun. I forget who makes it but I think it was in the '70s. If I remember, I'll get back to you.

iv seen a few at gun shows, useually in 9mm or 40cal on top with 410 or 20 on bottom. its a survial gun of sorts that is to be broken down for easy C&C in gear. the ones i saw didnt have a ammo compartment on them tho. its a ugly rifle but if you have nothing else i suppose it would get the job done and put food down for you.

i did see one with 223 or 22lr on top with 20ga on bottom now that i think of it, i will try to get a pic/link.

I believe it was called a Springfield M6"Scout" rifle.

That is a Springfield Armory M6 Scout. Check their website for all the poop.

That's it. Mine here is a .410 .22. They discontinued them last year. They also came in stainless. I took my trigger guard off like the originals so it folds up more compact. Great little back pack survival gun. They do still sell a pistol scout I believe.

A friend of mine owns one. I watchet it pop open by itself when a 410 shell was fired. When I was asked if I wanted to fire the gun I politely declined.
I think the gun looks crudely made and more attention to things like shell storage than important things like fit and finish
