I was taking some fish to a nice old couple that are friends of mine and I saw a gun sitting in the corner...he said it was (I think he said) Springfield Survival gun, .22 hornet top barrel, .410 bottom, looked like a tactical gun, and it held shells in the top of the buttstock . Does anyone know what this might be and where I can get one? Thanks for your help.

Those guns are sold by Springfield Armoury.
The same folks that make the M1-A's.
They also come in 22lr and .410.
They also come in stainless steel.

I have handled several over the years.
They seem to be a quality made gun.

Hi Ray,

The org. model had a 14" bbl. and was parkerized. I saw one that a copter pilot brought back from Nam. I believe it is considered an NFA weapon though. it would be a nice collector's piece. I'm sure the new ones have a 16 or 18 inch bbl. and I think they are 410/22lr. only. I could be wrong though. They are really handy for what they are but the 410 kicks pretty bad for a young boy"s first gun. :^) bought my son one.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your help!
