The M6 scout is the civilian version
of the M6 Aircrew Survival Weapon, issued to
U.S. Air Force aircrew from the late 1950s
until the early 1970s in the
survival kits of their airplanes. The major
differences are the addition of a longer (legal)
length barrel and an addition of a trigger
guard on the civilian version. There is no
wooden furniture on the M6 scout. The Springfield
M6 is an over-under design, with a .22 Hornet
rifle barrel above a .410 shotgun barrel.
