M6 Scout Combination Gun

[Tdsmith517]

While I was in the gun safe grabbing my Model 30 for my other thread, I figured I would pull out another gun that seems to have small dedicated following in the Bushcraft crowd at least the Springfield Armory M6 Scout.
It is a copy of the M6 Aircrew Survival Weapon. While they were originally made in .22 Hornet over .410, CZ made them for Springfield Armory in .22lr, .22mag, and .22 hornet over .410. While the originals had I believe a 14 inch barrel these have an 18” 1/4 to meet NFA standards. They are neat little guns full of features such as a flip sight, peep for the rifle barrel, V notch for the .410, ammo storage in the stock, and the ability to come apart with the removal of the pivot point pin. They have a squeeze style trigger originally meant to be used in cold weather environments with gloves but takes some getting used to. The rifle barrel shoots very well, while the.410 pattern leaves alot to be desired. I have shot a few grouse with it, but you have to be close. Anybody else have one?

I have a 22LR/410 that love. I used to strap it to my pack for walks into high country lakes and it was perfect. I’ve always wanted the Hornet version but they always seem to command a price that seems outrageous for what you are actually getting. I’ve had plenty of people laugh at it but they are always surprised at the accuracy of it. You are correct about the 410 barrel, definitely not winning a clays match with it but, I have killed quite a few grouse with mine as well.
I like your 550 cord idea, I’m stealing it!
Thanks for posting this up, I love o/u combo guns, the M6 is always overlooked.
Cheers,

I stole the paracord wrap from the bushcraft community. I too have been looking for a.22 hornet to add to my collection but, it has never been a priority l, so I won’t buy it unless it’s a deal. The paracord keeps me more steady when I am facing off with a crafty and dangerous grouse

I have something similar ,the Savage 24. 22 WMR over .410. Was lucky enough to get it with the original Box, hang tags and all paperwork that came with it even the wood block they came with for spacing.
