Bauer "Rabbit" 22/410

Spring Creek

Recently found a NIB Bauer "Rabbit" 22/410, and naturally had
to acquire it because I had one similar many moons ago.
This one, 100% with all papers, etc. is neat, it has a
black painted "Krinkly" surface, BUT
if I remember right, the one I had was a Garcia.
Almost identical if I remember right, but was a Brown color with
the same "Krinkly" finish. Can anybody clarify my memory on the two.
The Bauer IS NOT for sale, so please do not email and ask.
Duckhunter, you can probably answer this for me.

Firearms International was the first importer/distributor of the Bronco's, in the 60's. It was the basic version that was either chambered for .22 or .410. At this late date I don't recall the color of the paint used on the FI's version?

$522!, what a hoot. The basic models use to sell for less the $20 in the 60's.

Great to look at and a fun gun concept just be aware The receiver is a ZINC Alloy and easy to break.

Thanks Rufe,
It wasn't Garcia that I was thinking of but indeed
"Bronco". And if I remember right, it was the
Brown "Krinkly" finish, but only in 22LR and not O/U.
Anyway, alloy or not, I'm not going to shoot it.
With it haven't been shot and NIB with all the papers, it
might as well stay a virgin.
Thanks for the answers.
