First,a little history of this gun. - - - > In 1970 I was part of a rescue effort to extract a BUFF (B-52) crew out of a bad place on the maps.
I stayed in contact with the planes pilot over the years. Before I retired we finally got together at a reunion in 1982. He brought me a under seat survival gun identical to the gun he used in his crews quest for survival and defence of himself and his crew.
This gentleman was awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross for his actions in the air,and a Silver Star for his leadership and Valor on the ground.
Again,this is not the gun that he used. It is "identical " to it according to him.
The gun is an O/U 22LR and 410 shotgun. The bbls are 20 inches long and the 410 is choked somewhat more open than a "full". It has a rough "pebble" texture.
The front sight has a set screw. Loosening it will allow the small blade sight to be both turned right or left,and screwed up or down. The rear sight has a small "U" notch and pulls up and down to select the upper or lower bbl for fireing.
The forward "trigger" both cocks the firing mechanism and unlocks the forward bbls from the rear receiver and stock. Pulling this "trigger" and turning the bbls the two pieces slip apart for carry/storage. Together,they are 20 inches.
There is a small safety close to the trigger that fires the weapon. It is a push through type with a small red dot when selected to the "fire" position towards the left side of the gun.
The trigger pull is surprisingly light and crisp. The gun was stored in a two section fly rod case and has ridden thousands of miles in my truck when in Maine. I used it to kill red squirrels,chipmonks,and tons of ruffled grouse.
Great little gun. Never seen another one like it. ---- SAWMAN
