Looks like some semi auto(full auto?).22LR home job.

The magazine looks such.

From the angle of the pic.... the barrel looks like a flat broad piece... almost like a side by side double barrel!
Is that it? The full size extractors and ejection slots on both sides seem to suggest that.

The octagonal barrel seems crude though - almost like a file job.

Dunno, but an ugly piece of **** isn`t it ? !

It's a Blue Peter in .22lr

Or was it something you came up with during the Scrapheap Challenge?

"Blue Peter" ?

"All persons should board as the vessel is about to leave port" ?

Well I won't call it ugly as I do not like to criticize another persons work.

I don't know what tools the other person had at his disposal, maybe he had to make all of his hand tools.

At any rate, I'm going to guess that it is a semi-automatic as it would appear to be designed to fire from a closed bolt.

It looks to be a rifle receiver, and I believe the barrel was the original stub of barrel with the top and bottom filed down to a smaller and lighter profile.

He did forget to put a front sight on it, which could simply be a small machine screw tapped into the top of the receiver.

22LR prominently marked
Only decent thing seems to be the magazine and the barrel , probably stolen off a revolver
Cocking piece on the left and ejector/extractor on right?

closed bolt, but blow back?
openable top cover,hinging on that large screw behind the barrel?
Damn, I'd hate to open this puppy, or file the bits and pieces.Go on Jonah, give us the worst.Remember, right to keep and bear arms does not exist in India...
Axx

Damn its not a photo-shop job. But why would anyone want something like this...even the man from u.n.c.l.e wouldn't.

Jonah what is it, c'mon tell us.

Duh huh.. Guys to tell y'll the truth... Beats me too..

But heres the original photo with its original markings maybe the columbian police needs more help from the CIA after all.

My guess seems to have been pretty close- Turns out its not a home job:

Scroll down to the 8th listing.


Heres what I filtered from the info thus gleaned:

"The Columbian Policarpa 22-2 Dual .22LR is a side by side two bbl, dual magazine .22 machine pistol. Originally designed by Heinrich von Wimmerspreg of Austria and the rights of this weapon was done in Columbia S.A. by Policarpa. The gun 22-2 is a very unusual design using two bbl, a dual siamese mag and one bolt with two firing pins.
There is a complete write up on this gun in the September 2006 Small Arms review Magazine Vol9 No 12, Pages 96 to 99... "

Wonder how Indian law would regard a double barrel .22 Pistol - That would be a mean CQ defense arm

Seems like the Columbian authorities use the local blacksmith to do their prototyping............
- Horrible !

Well if this gun was made in a proper shop, I take back all my comments about not criticizing the quality!

I did not realize they do not have proper screwdrivers in Colombia, for starters!
