Anyone know what this is? I'm at a loss. No markings but from what I can see it's a falling block breech loaded .410 or small smooth bore cartridge. Google can't figure it out.
Another shot of the breech. It's opened by the trigger guard.

Try a rough chamber casting with some melted crayons, seems to actually be home made from the looks of it. Where'd you find it?

Stepbrother got it from his grandpa after he passed. Nothing but the gun not even a case. I can't even find a similar gun on Google images.

If you're confident enough to take it apart there might be some clues under the barrel or the mechanism. I'm thinking what>>29818017 said and that it's home made that barrel is way too thick to make any sense on a commercial model. Maybe a converted musket?
>>29817955
That is a firearm.
Wait for someone who knows what they're talking about to reply, make several threads if you have to.
You don't wanna mess up the gun following the first advice you get here

Possibly a old Husqvarna shotgun
They made lots of guns back in the day, from cheap singleshot shotguns and rim fires to expensive, collectible hunting rifles

Stick a .410 shell in there to see if it fits.

Can you give a closeups on the dovetails on the side?
find the barrel proofs. they may be under the foreend

The sights are very basic. Almost look like they were hammered into shape. >>29818229
Don't own a .410 so no ammo
>>29818385
About what would you say the muzzle diameter is? I'm thinking this is a conversion of some kind from a surplus military rifle.
>>29818519
The barrel is smooth bore and smaller than a 20ga. I guess it could be a 16ga.
Definitely looks home made, possibly depression era. the barrel was probably from some other rifle from around the turn of the century

It's one of a kind OP. It belongs in a museum.
