Garcia Broncos were commonly available back in the 60s/70s.

Cheap, meant to be survival rifles.
It's a shooter, that's it, no collector value.

As a shooter it doesn't even do that well. I have one and it's horribly inaccurate. Basically it's just a cheap, low quality, novelty gun. They called it a "Skeleton gun".

Also it was available in a 22/410 version, similar to the Savage 24, but again, with the skeleton stock.
