Interesting. Everything looks threaded.
The neck bomb and gun looks like there are welds and there are a lot of shims on the collar. The 4 tumbler locks on the collar and what looks like a briefcase lock also make me think of a junkyard.
Again, the guy doesn't care about the "finished look" of his product, just its' capability. Obviously, the collar worked.

I have mo idea what this is all about. The fabricator looked to be creating the classic "cane gun" based on the shape ... from there he created something that doesn't appear to be funcitonal in terms of doing anything worth a hoot ... and created something that was crude enough to fail to pass as a cane.
I haven't been following this mess -- do the reports appear to indicat that the delivery man was a perp or a victim???

I want one.

"How can you get any accuracy with it?"Good point. Methinks you'd have to be very close which begs the question: If you're going to work at knife range, why even use a gun? I realize that a projectile will possibly produce more "shock power" than a nice sharp blade, but correctly executed, a knife thrust will do the job just fine.

Thanks! Weird gun. Someone is very handy with tools, metalwork, and scrap parts...
To: R W Reactionairy
The reports remain mixed. Someone should send those cops a dot to dot book so they can learn how this works. I think they're much too slow on this. Those parts should all be recognizable to a machinist at least as to what you would need to create it. They're probably limiting obtaining clues from a machinist buddy...cops are like that.

Strange case. You did fine with the posting.
IIRC, this contraption hasn't been stated to be single or multi shot. If it's single shot, it sure appears "clunky," compared with the older cane guns. The boxy receiver is downright ugly.

This case just keeps getting more "weird."
A cane gun is nothing new though. By grandfather has a .410 shotgun cleverly concealed in a cane. Very neat piece of craftsmanship.
