    Zip gun....

    Not likely a VC made gun. It's to nice. The markings are in English...

    Without actual bring back papers, which would have been required to transport it back to the US, it's just a zip gun.

      Yeah, the markings lead me to believe it was part of a larger run so I was hoping someone may have something more solid. I think the VC angle is extremely unlikely st best.

      Thanks for the input!

        A firearm? Not some sort of tranquilizer dart gun?

          Brass barrel...maybe some sort of flare gun? I cant imagine a cartridge firearm using a brass barrel.

            I'm kind of an answer a ? with a ? guy. So here's two.

            Is the barrel actually brass? Or just Plated? A magnet will tell.

            Is the barrel rifled?

              Looks like something I cobbled together 40 years ago from a single shot 22 rifle.

                  Not to be that guy, but hopefully didn't start life as a rifle ...

                    Looks like a home built target pistol. Maybe started life as a single shot 22 rifle. Very similar to one built by Merlin Ellis of Santa Cruz, CA when he was a broke young man and wanted to compete at the local matches. Won his share of awards with it before he could afford a HS or Woodsman.

                      It could be I suppose. I didn't have it at home so couldn't check to see what caliber, if any would fit the chamber.

                      Good question. It is rifled. I will have my Dad check to see if is brass or just plated.

                      This thought crossed my mind as well. The action looks a bit similar to the Winchester Model 60 to me.

                      Yes, it may be a one of a kind, homebuilt thing.

                      Thanks for the input all. I'm still digging around about it and appreciate the thoughts.

                        My first thought, and possibly as an early UK/Canadian/European rifle.

                        If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?
