Possible Vietnamese flare pistol???

**breakeyp** · 11-10-2014 04:54 PM

Continuing my love of ugly weird guns, I found this handmade cutie this weekend. 8.5 inch barrel that looks to take a flare cartridge about 12 ga. size. Construction and weathering is typical of guns I have seen from Vietnam. Quality is inferior to guns made in Afghanistan / Dara. I have found no references to help me sort it out. The clip is .303 British icon

for size comparison. Might be Philippines manufacture. Comments appreciated.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I don't think it is meant to be a flare pistol. Looks like they wanted to make a 12 ga. pistol. It has sights and they would have used an other caliber.

Not sure I'd want to fire their 12 ga pistol though...try Federal Hi-Shok buckshot for a handful.
