I've always wanted to get my hands on a genuine Springfield M6 Scout, but since the used ones are pushing a grand and the other older clones are around $700 I figured it'd never happen. The chiappa stuff is all dead to me after I bought a little badger that was more of a safety hazard than a firearms.
When I saw TPS was bringing out an M6 scout that had a few subtle differences I was really interested but timing to buy a gun in the last year or two hasn't been great. Whether it was availability or pricing in general it didn't work out..... until recently. I found a decent deal on gunbroker and the rest is history. I thought I'd share some pictures of it especially with all the little outdoorsy things I was able to stuff into the stock to add some versatility.
*20' of 550 cord wrapped on the for end.
*13rounds of 22lr.
*6 rounds of .410. 3 are slugs, and 3 are #6 shot.
*275 cord about 7 or 8 feet long to work as a sling.
*11 Fishing hooks including jigs, flies and bare hooks.
*50' of clear 8# fishing line and 50' of green 10# lines.
*Ferro rod.
*Magnesium rod.
*Scraper for ferro and magnesium.
*small scrap of 100% cotton bandana to keep the fire tools from rattling around.
*Not pictured - 4 katadyn water tablets.
I've shot the 22lr, and .410 options and like it so far. It's not a prs match gun, but it's functional for taking small game while on the trail.
