I KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT THESE GUNS BUT THE WAY THE COPPER BAND WAS WORKED IS QUITE NICE AND I SUSPECT YOU ARE RIGHT IT WAS MADE FROM PART OF SOMETHING ELSE?.
IS THIS GUN MODIFIED ESPECIALLY THE STOCK? I HAVE SEEN SOMETHING SIMULAR IN A WW2 JAPANESE RIFLE WHERE THE WOODEN FORE STOCK HAD BEEN REMOVED TO MAKE A SPORTING RIFLE OUT OF IT. IT WOULD EXPLAIN THE ADDITION OF THE METAL BAND TO SECURE THE BARREL. THE MODIFICATIONS MADE THE BARREL LOOK WAY TOO LONG AS IT DOES ON THIS EXAMPLE. A INTERESTING GUN.
