Funny Gun!
Hello folks I chanced upon this handgun at our local Malkhana a couple of years ago and inspected it thoroughly at that time. The workmanship is as good as any imported automatic that I have come across although in terms of design, it looks quite funny.
Amazingly this photo surfaced again just last week through a friend travelling from southern Mizoram.
I have never seen a gun such as this and was wondering if someone in the forum could identify it. It's a .22 by the way.
My guess is that Its origin could be bangladesh or china.

Re: Funny Gun!
Simply a local cobble job I assume
Seeing that a very basically equipped workshop with good hands can produce very nice and sound pieces, this particular one looks like no particular feat of illicit skill.
Only time consuming aspect in building the thing would have been checkering the whole gob!!
