How bizarre is this?

The butt looks like it was made from 2 planks glued together to get the desired thickness but the glue is now failing/has failed!

Went pretty cheap at $356.

I'm reasonably sure that this is a pump up pneumatic; the hinge at the front of the forearm speaks to that. Really hard to say much more without seeing the forearm lowered.

Then the photo doesn't make sense. That means the pump arm metal goes all the way back to the trigger unit and seems to go under the it. If the whole pump lever goes back right to the stock, why is the pump handle so far forward (much less leverage). Also there is a small bracket with two screws which seems to be locking the "lever" to the tube above

I see the same things but how else to explain the large pivot at the front end of the forearm? I would assume that the forearm wood covers up the area where the pump lever breaks from the body of the gun.

I also wondered about this but then I started to see not a pivot bolt but instead just a means of fixing the pressed steel 'slide body' to the barrel/tube bracket above it...?

And that's all I see, a means of fixing.
No way does that forend pull down as a pump, it's certainly a trombone action going on the wear and contact damage in the top slide. Hopefully it will come to light but then it won't give us any more to debate.

That is what I was thinking. As the gun looks quite flimsy, I was seeng it as a very low powered plinker. I cannot understand why is the tap (which I was hoping might be automatic) does not have a lever on it instead of those knurled bits unless it was so it could be used left or right handed.
I was wondering if that barrel comes off a Relum Tornado?
