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. Top reads "MBAssociates San Ramon, Calif. B0212 / MARK I MODEL B 13mm GYROJET ROCKET CARBINE". Rail and Bushnell 1.3x Phantom scope are original and correct. Aluminum alloy frame makes the rifle exceptionally light, even with the wooden pistol grip stock which has rollover Monte Carlo cheekpiece to a Pachmayr White Line rubber recoil pad. Rifle comes with 7 unfired Rocket Jet ammunition. CONDITION: Good. Follower mechanism needs adjustment as it currently pops up too high & would not seat the round correctly. Nickel finish on left side/bottom of muzzle flaking with use/storage marks on stock and pistol grip. Bore is very good. A rare example of weapons technology advancing. (CP)
