If I recall correctly, the main arm those aluminum .410 shells were used in was a folding .22 Hornet/.410 combination gun which had a skeletonized stock that was also used for cartridge storage. It was issued in a survival kit case with other supplies. It also had a stud trigger like an early S&W revolver or a Stevens "Pocket Rifle." Don't know the manufacturer, but the basic idea clearly came from the Savage/Stevens M24 issued earlier in .22/.410. I believe the survival gun was all metal. Anyone know the military designation? Manufacturer? Were .410 slugs issued as well?
