Does anyone know anything about the gun?

[Jayboy]

This has come off a UK forum, it’s made in the USA, I’ve no idea how it works or idea who made it. Can anyone here enlighten me?

Weird looking critter!

Edit: it’s the paler one that’s probably more confusing. At least the dark one has a side lever.

Steam Punk gun….. very odd. Wonder if it actually worked?

I don't have a clue what it is. It would be an interesting addition to my collection.

Looks like there is a latch on the right front area....looks like that releases the front grip on a hinge....I'm thinking that is how the air is pumped in. Front handle looks like it would "fold" away from you(like a multipimp) and then looks like you would use that as many pumps as whatever it needed. Then the leftside lever looks like it would be a breech handle...actuation of that lever most likely reveals a breech loading area

No doubt produced by an engineering and machining GENIUS; likely reduced to groveling for a living at Daisy, and going totally ignored in his pleas and lobbying for quality manufacturing. Those guns were the product of his frustrations; extreme frustration being an incredible motivator, especially when mixed with extreme talent, extreme hard-headedness, and extreme desire for vengeance.

Regardless, I'd give my left nut for it!

What says that they are airguns? Not trying to cause problems, but there doesn't seem to be a pressure cylinder on the rifles. Now it could very well be inside the large cylinder that looks like the receiver. Would be interesting to get some pictures of the internals or a video of the units functioning.

Either way there is some very find machining done on those units. Could they be a prototype unit for an early company?

looks like a winchester lever action stock. Maybe a 1892 stock

could the front grip slide the large tube forward and back as an air pump , that is what i thought when i first saw it .
