Nope not US Airforce, just a weird rifle

I was picking up a Remington receiver for a rifle I am building and the seller ask if I was interested in a rifle he believed to have possibly been made for the Airforce. Well, it wasn't it tuned out to be just a weird little .22 rifle. Except he had well-worn bluing and missing the wood buttstock insert. Made by Precision Industries, it is a single shot .22 S/L/LR the "pump" handle is only there to eject the spent 22 casing.

While it was interesting I just couldn't see spending money on it when I have much better MILSURPS I want to buy. Still, I kinda wanted it just for a conversion piece. Not that I have a lot of friends who are into firearms like me...... So I offered $100.00 but did tell him he could get more at auction for it.

This is not the rifle he was selling but one like it but in much better condition. I failed to take pictures of the one he is selling.

Jim, It does and from what I could find in the rifle the design borrowed heavily from the Bronco.

It does, the way it loads is similar as well.

Looks like a variation of a Hamilton Model 11 - series began with the Model 7 with a metal stock and continued with subsequent models. The model 7 production started about 1897 or so and the company shut down in 1945.
