Probably a modified MR1 in .223

Benelli concept gun. Just a project done by their junior designers to make something “special “. It is not in production

Says 'PUMA' on it. Kinda Uglyish/Kinda coolish too.

Once upon a time, toy guns were made to look like real guns. Somewhere alone the way, it was decided that toy guns should look like toy guns. Now someone has decided to take this full circle and make a real gun look like a toy gun. I wonder if it would end up non-restricted because it’s not scary looking, or maybe prohibited because it’s not scary looking enough...

I agree it's probably for marketing purposes and a concept gun

To clarify, it was on display at IWA and we were at the show. It is a concept gun.

It's like a car accident, it's painful to stair at but at the same time, too intrigued to look away.

It certainly looks like an MR1 with funky furniture on it. There's no rear sight or rail on it either. How ugly!
