You might mean the M6 Scout I have one that's a .22 over a .410. Though they had other 'survival' rifles.

I had one but lost it in a boating accident....It was Made by Ithaca in NY.
It was a Folding .22 Hornet/410 over and Under......It fit PERFECT in an Alice Pack.......I took it to a gunshow one day and a vendor told me to IMMEDIATLEY turn around and MARCH back to my car and leave....and let KNOW ONE see the gun on my way out.....I ask why.....He said that the 16" Barrell length on the .22 hornet makes it an Illegal gun SBR........I said OK....BYE!!!
Then about 2-days later I was in a boating accident.....lost it.....It was a shame...

When I first got to Viet Nam the ejection packs were fitted with the take down semi automatic .22 like in Billofthenorths post. within 90 days they were all fitted with a rather ingenious folding (wire) stock version of the M16. Given the unreliability of the M16 at the time I think I would rather had a shotgun or something else. Also the Smith and colt 4" barrel 38 special was part of the standard survival gear

16 inch barrel on a rifle is fine, perfectly legal.. but it is a minimum of 18 inch on a shotgun.

The original military-issue M6 had 14½" barrels for both components and therefore are NFA regulated. They are now C&R-eligible, but transfer and ownership must still be in compliance with the aforementioned law.
There are, of course, modern versions with barrels long enough as to not require the tax stamp, etc.

Which is a BS LAW!!!!!!......That's like passing a law that Dildo's can not bet over a certain length......you wouldn't want to do damage or enlarge a certain area.....Hell, the Dildo Law would make more sense even....lol

I picked up mine at a gunshow for $200. I don't think it was new but it is in near new condition. Made by CZ.

Funny coming from somebody who lives in Alabama where it is illegal to sell dildos. No dildo's with or without CARB approved ventialtion devices.. however some stores still sell pre ban dildo's under the lable of "medical devices" ( but without assault slings) .. seriouly.. it's Alabama law. For details see http://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2007/11/julia-from-alabama-you-cant-have-my.html public law code of Alabama sections 13A-12-200.2 and 13A-12-20.3

Give me a day or two to dig-up the PICS of the one I USE to have......I'll post'em.....
Yes, Shells are stored in the Top of the stock.....both .410 and .22 hornet shells.
The firing pin selector goes up and down to select which caliber you're firing......the Rear sights Pivot up/down to select the rear aperture......
It also says on the gun, Property of the US AIR FORCE.......
I got the gun from a Family member.....
