that be the grim reapers gun
LOL! I don't know what it is either, but I have one too! Not a name on it anywhere.
My brother worked for a dept. store chain a loooong time ago, and bought 2 or 3 of them, and a single shot .410 just like it. The .22's are worthless junk, mine died years ago, never could hit anything with it. I'm saving it for a "gun buyback program" if one ever comes around. That .410 kicked like a freakin' mule though, it has NO mass to absorb ANY recoil.
I hope your friend didn't pay much for it.

It is a Firearms International Bronco. Later sold by Garcia, then Bauer. Some were made in Spain but I think there was another source, maybe even US.
They were made in .22, .22 Magnum, .410 and a double combination .22-.410. Not a whole lot of gun.

And here is the .410 shotgun....

Just a couple posts down. How often does that happen without the words Smith and Wesson being involved, LOL?

I remember those things in gun shops and outdoor stores in the late 60's.

I bought the .410 shortly after they came out.
Picked up a .22 many years later.
Both are still working and I have killed grouse with the .410.
The .22 shoots pretty well for such a light gun. My sons and I were able to hit clay targets set up at about 30 yards with it without much trouble.
I had a chance to buy the Bauer .22/410 but didn't have the $80 the hardward store was asking back in the 1970s.
