One of the most recognizable of the "space age" weapons, the Gyrojet was an attempt to replace conventional lead projectiles with miniature rockets. This example is one of the carbine variations, marked across top with Gyrojet address and model information. Aluminum alloy frame makes the rifle exceptionally light, even with the wooden pistol grip stock which has rollover Monte Carlo cheekpiece and terminates in White Line pachmayr pad. Added section of rail for mounting a fixed power Bushnell scope that partially obscures legends. CONDITION: Very good, showing only very light marks scattered about. Action works appropriately when cycled by hand, bore is excellent. A rare example of weapons technology advancing. EW
