I don't know what it is either, but everyone seems to want the mystery solved.

Based solely on the shape of the stock, and it's just a guess, Quackenbush? It looks like it might be a "deluxe" version of some kind? IIRC, they were seen most often with the butt stock being only the metal framing without the wood? I'd like to know myself!

Howdy,
It looks like a RAU Wildcat, Garcia made some like it too called Bronco.
I know the Rau had the wire wrapped wood stock and looks alot like it
They are of the same family.
Hope that helps (Could be WAY wrong)
Mike

Wow Mike, good call!

The action reminded me of a Bronco.

WELL DONE MIKE!!!!!!!!!

I dont remeber exactly what they were called, but they were made by a buddy of mine back in the mid/late 70's to possibly the early 80's, in Ozark MO (as the picture shows) which is about 10miles south of Springfield.
The guy's name was Milt Hudson and it seems like he may have bought the equipment from some defunct company (my memory aint what it used ta be). I do remember he tried selling them to the Mart Mart's but I dont think he could provide the volume they needed. IIRC these sold for $29.99. The gun is a single shot twist break 22lr. Obviously it is a manual cocker, the pump shotgun looking slide is actually the ejector. When you twist the gun to open it, you pull the pump back (springloaded) to empty the chamber.

Also IIRC there was a standard and deluxe model with the standard model not having the insert in the buttstock

Thanks for information. I was wondering what it was. As to why someone's Grandmother had it stashed away, well I guess it was better than nothing.

why am I not surprised that someone here knew the answer. Too bad we don't have any forum members in Congress.

Howdy,
I didn't know there was a local conection.
Maybe that's why I had seen one around here somewhere.
It looks like a cool old .22
Good luck
Mike

I have three of them
They were originally made in El Dorado, Kansas and called the El Dorado and were made by a man in our gun club

He was bought out by a Mr. Frownfelter from Ozark, Mo. (cousin to a club member) He died about a year ago. They sold to Wal-Mart for several years at the 29.95 figure I read about in another post. His company was then bought out by a company in Massachusetts that made them for a few years.
