Name This Firearm

So, what is it?


I will be posting some information on this interesting firearm in the near future. Until then, let's see who can identify it.

I have no idea, but it looks like an antique design made with modern materials.

I'd guess it's a repeating air rifle, pre-18th century (Swede?). The shiny part of the stock is the air bottle.

I can't recall the name of it, but I saw one (or one VERY similar to it) in the ordnance museum at Aberdeen Proving Ground. This is going to bug the heck out of me until you follow up on it...

alandp; This particular rifle was made in 1866.

Anon; Nope, not an air rifle, but I can understand how you came up with the idea.

Gunny; Follow up on the way.
