Wasn't this the Armalite survival gun?

As I recall (vaguely: a friend bought one to kyak through the Arctic
Circle) it had an over-under barrel, with a .22 bullet and a 410
shotgun shell. It packed into its own stock.

You have two firearms mixed up. The Armalite AR-7 is the one that
takes apart and stores in its own stock. Mine is made by Charter arms
and is in 22LR. If memory serves the current maker is Henry.

James Bond used one in Goldfinger (I think)




many people over in rec.guns claim that the Henry AR-7 is plagued with jams
and failure-to-feeds.
