M6 Scout

Man,
I had bought a 22.LR/.410 version some years ago and during my 10 day wait (CA:() I changed my mind and put the cash towards a Glock 17.
I don't regret getting the G17 but I wish I had also purchased the M-6. I will have to run one down soon.

When I removed my trigger guard I placed the gun at the edge of the table and hit the pin with a punch a couple of times. This helps to spread the frame enough that I was able to pry it apart enough for the pin to slid out. After I removed the trigger guard I used a set of pliers to squeeze the frame just a little back to its original configuration.

When you cut out the guard did you cut just the guard or did you actually cut and remove the pin? I assume the rear of the trigger guard just slides out of the frame?
Sorry for all the questions but I do not have a schematic of the inner workings.

no problem, basically all i did was very carefully pry the two sides apart until the pin could get jimmied out. this way i can always put the guard and pin back if needed for some strange reason. good luck - Eric
 
My only problems with the system is its bulky, and shotgun shells (even .410) are heavy/bulky.


How would this gun be used? In a boat/truck/4-wheeler, ect.?
 
My M6 is a 22 Hornet and I use 50 or 55 grain sierra semispitzers and Lil Gun. Could take a caribou to 100 yards I figure and the gun shoots 2MOA even though it is a bit wobbly. The 410 has taken a fair number of Spruce Grouse for me and No 6 Shot is the best choice for birds. Best at 20-25 yards or less. Slugs in the 410 are ok to 20 yards or so but pretty light and not that accurate. The 1/4 oz Federals are the most accurate shooting about 2-2.5 " groups at 20 yards. At 40-50 yards I can hardly get them on the paper. I am trying to use my lee loader to make some decent buck shot loads for the 410. If this works out I can get a much heavier pay load..so far fair bit of vertical stringing past 10 yards or so.

I also have the Savage 24C. It's a lot heavier but the 20 gauge is much more useful than the 410. I can get 3-4" groups at 70 yards with slugs and a 3/4 oz slug is a useful pay load. The 22 shoots 2MOA and this is a very useful unit but quite different from the M6

My Rambling Guns

Top-Bottom Stevens 325B 30-30 for canoeing in bear season/ 450 Marlin for polar bear country... have abandoned the scout scope and gone with just peep sights, Savage 24C, CZ M6, Browning Trombone take down, Chipmunk 22...surprisingly accurate!
 
Those Chipmunk .22's really are a lot of rifle in a little package! My younger sister had one growing up, and she would just sit and shoot down tall weeds all day on the farm, it was accurate enough (in her hands) to hit the stalk at reasonable distances! Not sure how well one would fit in an adults hands, it's been a while..
 
I don't suppose that 24C is for sale......

Forget it. Just reading that you are in Canadia.
 
Nope not for sale but funny enough since buying it 2 years ago I have seen 3 more up for sale. Hang in there you will find one.

If you can't every once in a while Numerich arms sells the butt stock parts to give you shell storage. A more common 24 could be converted. I think a 30-30/20 gauge would be hard to beet.
 
I have the one in .22H and stainless steel. The .22 Hornet can be reloaded very inexpensively, to any power level you desire. Lately, I have reloaded it by filling the Winchester casing with fffg Goex black powder, and a 45 grain jacketed bullet. This goes about 1,400 fps, and is quiet enough, that you can hunt without hearing protection. It kind of duplicates .22 Winchester Special(I think it is called), a precurser to .22 Magnum.

It shoots very well, and is very handy when you will be carrying a lot, and shooting a little.

I'm gratified to hear that it works well for grouse. I hope to find out for myself, someday.

I don't think the other 24s will takedown, will they? And I know the centerfire 24s are much heavier.
 
I don't know if it ever got released, but another version of the m6 came out. It had a folding wire stock and a pistol grip. Wish I could get me hand on one of those. Also had two barrel length options. One 16" and one I think around 10". The 10" I believe was going to be released as a pistol, but if you wanted to go through the trouble, could have been made into a SBR.

you could list as Looking To Buy on Craig's List in the sporting goods section. i usually see one or two at gunshows, some in used hard condition and some brand new in box. however, bring at least two credit cards, cash and a checkbook, maybe even your first born. now that they are discontinued sellers think theyre made of solid gold LOL best of luck! - Eric
 
I saw one up here in Alaska the other day for $250ish.

If anyone's interested I could getcha the dealer contact info.

Otherwise I'd try Gun Broker or Guns America.
