Strange .410 shotgun info needed

[Royzo]

I picked up a little .410 shotgun that has no model number or name on it. All there is a serial number and firearms intl corp. Washington DC marked on it. Only other thing on it is .410 3". It has no wood and is extremely light. Just a frame type stock. It has a second trigger that unlocks the barrel so you can twist it open to drop in a shell. Anyone know anything about this thing?

Google Garcia Bronco shotgun, is that it?

 

[Royzo]

Exactly I can now read up on it. Have never seen one before this.

Sorry. I have crappy internet and pics are near impossible.

They were popular in the 60's through the mid 70's possibly as far back as the 50's. There was a 22 rimfire version and a 22/410 o/u version

My guess is the Bauer Rabbit (same thing?), I've seen one in my life and it was a 410 single barrel.

Yes ,Garcia made these 22 survival rifles I bought one new in the seventies . They came in solid frame and takedown in 22 or 22/.410. Great pack gun .

Neat little guns. Maybe I will try and find the 22 and 22/.410 as well.

I have the barrels and a few small internal parts for the 410/22.

I will keep that in mind.
