I have a Mossberg/AIG Abilene, that was part of Mossberg's brief attempt to enter the hand gun market 30 or so years ago. The Abilene was originally made by U.S. Arms in Riverhead, Long Island,Mossberg took it over,IIRC Ruger claimed patent infringement. Only about 1,000 U.S. Arms marked Abilenes were made.
