Ohhh....
....that is beautiful. Having a hard time typing as my tongue is hanging out so far and getting in the way.
The martini action looks so good and 'fit for purpose. Quite logical and lovely.

The more I look at this gun, the more convinced I am rhat it is a Greener, or based on the Greener GP Martini action:
In one of the pictures above you can see a cross hatched indent for the thumb to rest on. I have seen this somewhere else - just cannot remember where is the problem.
An Emergency on your part doesn't necessarily mean an Emergency on my part!
Probably set of as a 303 carbine, more rife than shotgun.

Remarkable. I wonder who made it and why. They certainly seem to have known what they were doing.
I believe that I may know who created this, if it is a.22 then careful inspection of the barrel may show it to be sleeved with Parker-Hale parker rifling insert. If this is the case, then it will have originated from the one and only Les Westley. Before legislation became too restrictive, he was converting old rook rifles with said insert to CO2.
So a very good chance it's one of his, though the one I saw was marked with his name.

So....we need to know calibre and if the barrel has been sleeved - over to you Clank
Looks like he has turned down the barrel diameter near the breach to allow room for the CO2 cylinder to screw in.
