Looks like a gun? (sorry - couldn't resist)

 

[bfm]

Trap door.
Springfield model 1873 - Wikipedia

Not sure exact model, the front looks hacked so not sure if that was original or not.

Maybe belonged to these guys in the late 1800's

Are those all the stampings / engravings / lettering on it?

 

[swatgig]

According to the Journalist's Firearms Identification Chart, it's an AR-15

 

[lowbuckbob]

AK-47

Assault gun

 

[cemorse]

It's a mutilated M1888 trapdoor Springfield. Probably some useful parts on it.

 

[DW357]

Ghost gun

 

[drgrant]

Flobert Parlor Musket?

 

[DW357]

Is it full semi-auto?...

 

[cetme24]

Broken one of these

According to the Journalist's Firearms Identification Chart, it's an AR-15

AK-47

You're both wrong. It's an AR-47 with high capacity assault clips capable of shooting 200,000,000 high caliber, heat seeking, cop-killer, exploding AK-15s every minute!

You watch. There will be some gun control activist that will quote me on that!

 

[PATRON]

Come on guys we all know it's a glock.

A weapon of war that has no place on our streets. Please think of the children.

 

[Wickedcoolname]

Does it have a shoulder thing which goes up?

Hillary’s pocket rocket

 

[rocket500]

Full auto Glock

 

[gerrycaruso]

It looks like a Springfield trapdoor with a broken hammer. I'm guessing it's either .45/70 or if it's an early model it may be .50/70.

 

[TLB]

It's actually one of the only guns the grabbers might be OK with us owning.

 

[gerrycaruso]

No. They want them all.

Update: it is a Springfield Quaker training rifle. Never knew such a thing existed.
