M6 survival gun-fun and practical
by: Anonymous

Many reviews have suggested that, although "cute", this gun is not particularly practical. Limited ammunition supply and power, a strange and crude trigger, and poor rifle barrel acuuracy are common complaints.
By contrast, my own experience with this gun have been very positive. And it is not difficult to make substantial improvements to it, as well. I have a Czech-made, stainless-steel version in .22LR/.410. My rifle barrel is most accurate with Winchester hollow points, but will keep any mixed brands of .22s inside of 2 1/2" at 50 yards firing offhand. Squeeze the trigger bar with all fingers, and hold the stock tightly in your shoulder, to make the pull seem light. Many reviews have shown the use of a slip-on shell carrier for additional .410 ammunition, which is a great improvement over the 4 round shotgun shell capacity inside the stock. But you can easily expand the onboard storage of .22 ammo from 15 to 39 rounds as well, by taping on one 3/8" diameter thin brass tube on each side of the barrels as a magazine tube. Although fine for plinking or small game/bird shooting, the gun can also be made more effective for campsite defense by the use of S & B 3" buckshot loads, which fire 5 OO buckshot, and taping on a small LED flashlight and laser between the barrels. The task of hitting flying clay pigeons with this short, small and light gun is tough, but is made easier by using Fiocchi number 9 shot 3" loads for the densest possible patterns. And definitely replace the push- (or fall-) out takedown pin with one that accepts a wing nut. Have fun!
