    TPS arms has remade the M6, more or less true to the original form with modest differences (take down pin, changeable chokes and stock storage as far as I can tell). Starting to see them pop up on Funbroker. They also have replacement parts. I always thought someone, somewhere would bring these back, wonder if they are made on the original tooling?

    May have to have one of these. Calibers include .22LR, .22WMR, .22 Hornet and .17HMR over .410.

    Not cheap but the originals have gotten out of sight (I have the Springfield M6 .22LR/.410).

    Now if they would just make stainless. They also make a nicely priced soft side carry/storage case as well.

    Looks much better than the shameful Chiappa version with its rigid foam buttstock. May have to order the .17HMR version, still holding out for a Springfield in .22 hornet.

    I have always wanted one of these. I know they are impractical, but still...
    Make mine .22 Hornet over .410 since that was what the originals were. Plus, I do not have anything in .22 Hornet, yet. I better buy some reloading dies to justify the gun purchase.

    That one is tempting. I couldn’t see myself paying $500 for it though. I think their price point is high.

    Thats a weird one. They sort of advertised it and a number of forums note it but I cant find one example. The rimfires and .22 hornet do exist.........expensive but its a lot of machining to make a gun like that.

    CZ hasn't made these in 10 years. Interested in the backstory how did someone make something 95% the same? Of course they were about $200 from CZ (via Springfield) 10 years ago.

    Ill probably splurge on the .17 HMR and save my .22 Hornet dollars for a genuine Springfield (aka CZ).

    Yup I am definately going to order a .17HMR when I get a chance. As noted above still hung up on an actual Springfield in .22 hornet. Did the annual oil down of my .22/.410 these were great and extremely useful guns. What really differentiates them is the ability to flat pack something the other survival guns dont do well.

    I can see modernizing with aluminum to reduce weight for the perfect survival gun.

    My Springfield's trigger is a little funky but not bad once you get the hang of it. They were designed to be heavy for safety reasons.

    I am not sure the .357 ever existed despite being shown in the inventory of multiple online gun shops, really surprised they don't make a rifled barrel that can run shot or .45 but that would defeat the purpose of chokes.

    Totally agree that if I was behind enemy lines I would much prefer a takedown M4 with a 14" barrel and ultralight components. The M6 type rifles were always more of a bush pilot solution.

    Actually, THIS is a bush pilot solution. ;)

    When they first started making these, I believe they used the .450 Alaskan caliber. A friend working for DIA happened to have one and I got to shoot it. That was a stout shooting round! I can't imagine shooting a .450WWG. Maybe if I was 50 years younger. :lol:

    I sort of know the feeling. I have a Marlin 444P (yes .444) with an 18" barrel it hits harder than my 1895 .45-70. Talk about hurting the shoulder.
