The M6 scout is the civilian version of the M6 Aircrew Survival Weapon, issued to U.S. Air Force aircrew from the late 1950s until the early 1970s in the survival kits of their airplanes. The major differences are the addition of a longer (legal) length barrel and an addition of a trigger guard on the civilian version. There is no wooden furniture on the M6 scout. The Springfield M6 is an over-under design, with a .22 Hornet rifle barrel above a .410 shotgun barrel.
