22 swing barrel

dozrop
I found a .22 swing barrel at a yard sale and the person just gave it to me. The only writing on it says( Firearms Int'l Corp. Wahsington D.C.) Anyone know of any info on these or where one might look?

    dozrop,

    Firearms International was an importer of guns from all over the world. They have been out of business for around 40-plus years. At first thought, I would say that you have a derringer-style gun. Are there any other markings on the gun, and is this a pistol, or a rifle? Pictures would go a long way in helping you. Please, post well-lit, clear, and "large-enough" photos of you gun.

    Its a rifle, and it looks like a survival type of gun. I will take some pictures and attach them. Thanks for the interest and help!

    dozrop,

    Well, then, you must have a BRONCO, like these:

    The .410 Shotgun model:

    The .22LR model:

    They were later sold as the Bauer Rabbit. They also sold them with a .22LR barrel over the .410 shotgun barrel. I have read that a .22 Magnum version was also sold. Is yours a takedown, or a solid frame model?

    ...and, a little article on them, here:

    Well, I won't have to take any pictures of the gun...its just like the .22 in your picture! Great article too...Thanks so much for the information! Any idea of a price if I were to sell it, or am I better off to keep it for a conversation piece? Again...Thanks

    dozrop,

    You are welcome.[:D]

    As for value, I truly do not know. ...but, I would guess it to be in the $100.00-to-$250.00 range, depending on condition & buyer. If it were my rifle, I would keep it, and enjoy it. A local gun dealer has one on his rack, and he will not sell it. I have eyed it, and asked him how much he wants for it, but he will not sell it. It's his conversation piece. Enjoy your rifle![;)]
