Garcia Bronco, imported by Firearms International.
Thanks. It's interesting. I googled it and learned about something "new to me". Sounds like a fun gun!

These nifty little rifles were first built in Accokeek, Md., in 1967. Those early examples bore neither markings nor serial numbers and sported an MSRP of $9.95

I don't think you can beat a Ruger 10/22. They are short, light, very accurate, and reasonably priced. Another good "survival" firearm would be a .22 pistol.

LOL....We used to do this as youngsters. I had an old Marlin 22, and since we used those cheap, tiny, crimped blanks for dog training, bird scaring from gardens, etc, I would push a 22 cal pellet into the rifling and place that blank behind it. Surprisingly, it shot fairly accurate and with enough power to kill birds and close range squirrels.So light, and shoot surprisingly well. Deadly on Squirrel with a 14gr. 22 pellet

Later in my young 20's, I began playing around with nail gun blanks given to me by a construction friend. Those things were much more powerful and raised the level of range to kill small game.
