Interesting and definitely weird! Interesting treatment for the rear sight. Pretty sure I wouldn’t want to light off a 30-06 in a brass framed rifle!

It sold for a lot more than I would have guessed.

How do you release the bolt from the receiver for inspection/cleaning of the bore? Looks like perhaps a Win M54 barrel??

Interesting from the point of view as to why would anyone build such a "gun".
Having said that I do have some curious questions. The body of the action is sort of shaped like a 99 Savage so I wonder what the magazine looks like. Looking at the left side of the receiver is what appears to be a window into the mag area, maybe a cartridge counter, again similar to the 99 Savage.
In one of the pics there is a person pulling open what appears to be, maybe the bolt release. What do you think?
The biggest question is why has it been de-milled with a hole drilled into the bolt? My theory is that someone fired the gun and found it to be dangerous. With the brass frame, if it was fired, I could see the bolt being setting back major.

And last the bolt handle, IMO, just looks stupid and why would anyone design let alone build such an affair.

Might be some kind of a model or prototype? Maybe it's not supposed to fire (I wouldn't want to fire it.......)!

My first thought is it's kinda shaped like some of the early semi autos.

Who knows?
