Really strange gun... Anybody know anything?

[c919]

I came across this on another forum/GunBroker and it looks pretty awesome to me. The seller seems to surmise that it is some sort of Tula prototype-MauserTok-Frankengun. Does anyone know anything about it? My curiosity is reeling....






Here's the link to more pics and a little history...

Thats weird.

I've been looking online, can't find anything.

Chinese

Chinese KMT pistol from the mid 1920s to the early 1940s. Similar to Zhuk #1536, 1537 and 1540.

It's either Chinese or Peshawar, Pakistan. either way, not rare or experimental. I would not shoot it. Interesting, but not too valuable.

It looks like a mix of that stripper-clip-fed Steyr pistol, a Nambu, C96 (hammer), and Beretta 1934.....a mix of all of the worst parts of all of those firearms meshed into one object

Eightball? What's wrong with the Beretta 1935? I have a nice one, a safe queen, but in great shape. Used to be carry back up for cop friend of mine before he retired.

that thing is so ugly i kinda like it
what is it chambered in?

 

[cchris]

Apparently .30 Mauser, as the gun was captured along with a bunch of boxes of .30 Mauser, according to the auction.

The 180 degree, not quick to disengage safety lever on the 1934?

ie: the reason why the Israelis teach Condition 3 carry. (Well, that and the crossbolt safety on the Beretta 51.)

this gun has at least 2 other threads, including one where a fiend of a poster who speaks Russian and another language said that writing is gobly gook. Most likely a Khyber pass.

just maybe on this forum, here is a link to one on surplus rifle http://www.surplusrifleforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=71&p=590268

see, this is what happens when you allow your Broomhandle to spend to much time with your Tokarev without any adult supervision. :lol: :lol:

It sounds like this guy from the other forum (linked above) nailed it.

 

[2RCO]

I would go with my gut that it's a Khyber pass special as well. I have seen English gobblety gook marking on them as well. I also think the sellers story is not real likely.

Glock 17 with the Wolfe mods.

Quick, check the back lot! Someone's stealing sci-fi movie props again! :-o

That is one hideous pistol. Desert Eagle meets Mauser Broomhandle meets Gundam Wing meets... god, I don't know. Something hideous.
