Xavier is a Registered Nurse who specialized in complex wound care. He has practiced for over fourteen years in his community. He often provided nursing service in areas where law enforcement refused to enter without back-up. Xavier now works in surgery. Xavier has been an avid shooter for over 30 years. He strongly supports the 2nd Amendment, opposes gun control of any sort, and carries a weapon 24 hours a day. Xavier is known on various internet gun forums as XavierBreath. He is married with three children, and is moderated by an apathetic one eyed cat, a goofy Golden Retriever, and a stalwart German Shepherd Dog. One day, he hopes to be deserving of them all.

The Four Rules

4. Be sure of your target and what lies beyond it
The Five Rules of Concealed Carry

5. Don't let your emotions get the best of you.

Looks like a movie prop to me...
That, at one time, was a J. Stevens Arms model 520-30 12-gauge shotgun. The barrel has been removed and reversed in the action for some reason (the vertical "vent-rib" section at the left side of the "firearm" actually fitted into the receiver). It has since had what appears to be a .22 barrel and magazine attached underneath said former shotgun, as well as what seems to be a Marlin model 60 or similar rifle action jammed up into the shotgun receiver. Added on to this mess are some sort of three-post sighting system in which the posts don't need to line up, a hand-carved front pistol grip, an eggbeater, and a portion of a grease gun.
The shotgun portion cannot fire at all, and I have serious doubts about whether the .22 portion would function even once. My guess is that it's a movie prop. Pity, as that 520-30 was very likely a WWII relic, either a riot or trench shotgun, serving with the Navy.
Where did you find this?
One gun, or two? Looks like the tormented remains of a tube fed .22 below. Above I don't recognize.
A war zone amateur made gun?
I think you found a "steam punk"
.22 that was lost at Thunder Dome.
Are you sure that is a weapon and not an industrial caulk applicator?
Agree with Anonymous, It does look like a 'movie prop' to me as well.
Could also be something from the set of Buck Rogers serial too...
My vote is a 1920's era caulking gun or assembly line rivet insertion tool. Something that ugly could not possibly be a firearm...at least not a functional one. Does it have a matchlock or wheel-lock on the other side hidden from the camera?
Why do I get the feeling I've seen this thing before? Is it a prop from one of the Star Wars films?

this will fights the uglies...
Colt 1911 Combat Comander .45ACP purchased new in 1982 95% condition
excellent bore. This gun has been put away for years. Shows almost no wear.
SN: 80BS21903
Steam Punk AK.
A coin-car-wash pressure washer masquerading as a shotgun?
Someone is WAY to into steampunk.
Top portion is a shotgun, Browning designed. I think Thane nailed it as being a J Stevens 520. There appears to be no discernable way to load the shotgun.
Bottom portion is a tube fed .22. I'm going to go with a Savage, since it doesn't quite look like the rear of the receiver is right for a Marlin.
I saw a fellow on the Firearm blog who was doing things like this with pieces of confiscated firearms he got that had to be destroyed after seizure. He had a particularly cool triple double barrel shotgun pistol that looked very steampunk, and the sort of thing a character in a William Gibson novella might use...

So that's where my power washer went...
If not for a movie, Steampunk cosplayer build would be my bet.
bottom section is either a marlin model 60 or a glenfield 60. unsure about the rest. this has 'prop' written all over it.
Alright Xavier. Now your just makin' them up. I think you might just have a corner of your garage dedicated to making things like this.
You should go into business. Xugly Guns and Photography sounds like a good business name.
