How bizarre is this?

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?

Looking at the forsight, BSA ???

Just to throw in a 'wobbly'..pcp, trombone slide thingy to cock/supply ammo stored in the tube above, think pumpy shotgun/Daisy bb multishot, Loading tap perhaps just open for cleaning/access? Whatever system it uses it does at least look to have seen some use.

I saw this but I thought it got a little too much? I saw Wells prototypes in the Bluebook. A experimental maker in the 1950s in California where this gun came from. He had similar forearms? If him it went cheap, but seemed too crude?

looks to me that the large tube at the rear is a reservoir possibly co2 the slide cocks the hammer
can't see any reason for tube to be the size it is unless it's a reservoir or the guns a springer
