JohnGalway 1,043 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Fella I know got this below. It's old, it's odd, it's rusty/dirty. He thinks it's a collectors piece. I think he's half right Someone here may know something about it, I call it the Walt Disney Gun, may have the ability to shoot around corners. Quote Link to post

JohnGalway 1,043 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 It's a .22lr Paulus, got some info off lads on another <site>, but if anyone knows anything else I'd appreciate it. Especially the odd offset scope, it's like looking through the bottom of a milk bottle. Has two horizontal lines from either side and one bottom pointed post as the crosshairs. Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Looks like something from the wild west! Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 should think the off set is to allow you to use the open sights aswell as the scope they didnt have high mounts in them days Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Maybe it was a custom set up for a one eyed, right handed shooter? Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Maybe it was a custom set up for a one eyed, right handed shooter? i did think that myself Quote Link to post
Guest thebigdog Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 would look good cleaned up and mounted on a wall. dont think i would want to be seen shooting it tho Quote Link to post
Oildriller 2 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 At first I thought it was a B.S.A. Sportsman 15. as I had one long time ago. Some of them shooting magazines have experts who will tell you all about it. Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 most of that type of rifle were smooth bored when the firearms act came into force so they could be kept on a shotgun certificate rather than having to apply for a firearms certificate. Quote Link to post
martin 332 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 It's a 'Bayard/Pieper' it's half automatic,manufactured around 1909. and .22 cal,I believe they came from Holland. M Quote Link to post
