I've run across some pretty bizarre stuff in my day. My favorite was a single shot top-break pistol chambered in 6.5 Japanese (the rifle round). It was made to look like a broomhandle mauser. They went to great pains to copy the mauser look, including serializing all of the parts. What was really funny was that the person who did it inverted one of the numbers repeatedly. The top break part was made to look like an tangent rear sight. Oddly enough, it had a front sight, but no rear sight at all, and noplace for one to go. It was very crudely made, and I'd never dream of firing it. It was a WWII bringback from the Pacific theater (late war, I bought it from the guy who brought it back)

So, I've spilled. What's the strangest/oddest gun you've ever owned?
