It's a Garcia(Rossi) Bronco I have one in .22 and .410. Made in Italy from '68 to '78,Rossi made them in the 60's and a company called Bauer in Michigan under the name Rabbit.

I think you're thinking of the Springfield M6, which isn't what's pictured ETA:  ETA2: www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=734015 |

It was called a Bronco. All the ones I know of were sold by Garcia, the fishing tackle company. Don't think any service ever used them as a survival weapon, just a low-cost .410 single-shot from the late '60s to maybe the mid '70s. I've heard there was a .22/.410 of similar design, but never saw one myself. The Bronco .410 was an interesting design, but the ones I had anything to do with all required some minor fiddling to work.

I've had the .410 since I was twelve(I'm 38 now) and it has always worked just fine.I bought the .22 about 2 months ago and I haven't fired it yet.
