Looks like a prop from "Road Warrior."

Concealed carry is for protection, open carry is for attention.

It does have something of the Modern Art Masterpiece about it. . .

I'm really curious about the second bolt handle.

WWJMBD?

Looks like the 'Custom Gunsmith' cut up the wood stock and made a cast mold of it. He MAY have used a file on it in places..... :tooth:

When I was a welder, we had a saying around the shop when we would see something home built and hideous:

"I made it m'self!"

I said that when I saw that rifle.

It is pretty interesting, though.

Actually it looks like a chunk of aluminum that had been shaped with a wood rasp.

I wonder what caliber that is. Looks kinda like a pistol round, or maybe a .30 carbine?

It's a Crapcano!!

That's not a second bolt handle, it's the safety.

Looks more like a magazine than a clip.

Just look at the flowers Lizzie, just look at the flowers.

Did anyone see a serial number on it? any where? I saw a "star" stamp, but that is it.

Well, it does seem to have a fold down mono pod forearm. That's all I got.
