It looks European to me, not some home made item. The gun shop near me charges $35 to transfer. Another nearby charges $40.

Looks like the same action sold today as the Haenel KK. Compare to this vintage one on Gunbroker: German FLZ System AYDT Single Shot Rifle 22 LR Fritz Langenhan Zella Mehlis

IMHO it's a put together. The stocks are definitely homemade. It's hard to tell from the pictures but it looks like the top center section is separate from the rest of the receiver (IE 2 piece receiver). The top section looks factory to me and the "receiver proper" home made. Pins are too 'proud" to be factory to me. Barrel looks factory and probably "fit" to the receiver. Just my 2 cents for whatever that is worth. In any event interesting and I would have paid 160 for it just to examine.

I saw that one.  No reason that a good gunsmith with better than average machinist skills couldn't build that action. His stock finishing skills still need some work, but who am I to judge?

I have one a lot like it, I believe it is a system Will. I will do a little research later and post. Little doubt it is pre WWII German. Look under the forend for proof marks, but not all rifles were proofed, especially those made before 1893.

I called the auction house to say it was an antique recently. The auctioneer said he'd check it with his experts. They called last Friday to say it wasn't so I called my LGS and asked him to send his FFL. He asked what it was, I told him it was described as a homemade gun, but it was a modified German Schuetzen. I sent the LGS some pics. He called the auctioneer for a better description and long story not so short, they cancelled the sale.

It's not like I need another gun, recently I bought a military Borschardt, a #2 roller in 22, and a Hammerli 100 free pistol, but you guys know how it is.
