A friend of mine has this single shot 410 and I have never seen one before, wondering if you guys might be able to tell me some info.

Here are some pictures.

Does it have a .22 lr barrel above the shotgun bore? I'm thinking Iver Johnson. Not positive, but I think they made something like that.

Actually, I have to go by my dad's place Saturday. I'll pull this up and show it to him if no one else here knows what it is. He was the manager at the Shootin Den for 27 years. If anybody is going to know, he will.

This, or a H&R. Looks as if it may have a bit of modification though. Most of the combo guns I have ever run across have wood stocks.

Although, from the picture it does appear that if it is modified, whomever did it, did a dang good job.

Any info stamped on it?

That's a Garcia Bronco, they also made .22's, which I have one of. My brother worked for Woolco back in the 70's, and bought .22's for all four of us bros, and a .410 for himself. That was one hard-kicking little sumbitch, as I recall.

I have photos, but not on this computer. But here's a link, just Google Images for "Garcia Bronco". http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3229/2694718884_5a91f1ce68.jpg%3Fv%3D0&imgrefurl=http://flickr.com/photos/ssnider/2694718884/&usg=__xOpKVadp6_e6xeSMtSq1__qLguM=&h=500&w=375&sz=138&hl=en&start=1&itbs=1&tbnid=jGTLZhBGBZVTwM:&tbnh=130&tbnw=98&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgarcia%2Bbronco%2Bad%26hl%3Den%26sa%3 DG%26gbv%3D2%26tbs%3Disch:1

F I E bronco, bought one new in 1972 , as I remember it was 18.95 , the damn thing did kick more than any other 410 I ever owned, and did not really feel a light as it looked, have fun with it, apiece of foam insulating tube around the top of the stock helps your cheek a lot!
