All I know about it is I want one.

 

[Father]

Bada$$!

I want one too.

That's cool. Does it fire all three rounds at the same time? Or is there some sort of selection for which one you want to shoot? Neet idea though.

If only they made an 8 shot version.... a .22 shotgun!

 

[cote_b]

I could be wrong, but it looks like it would fire 3 at once.

The Book of Rifles by Smith & Smith, has exactly one drawing of what I believe is this same rifle, showing it's muzzle, on page 617.
Not much text other than saying some European manufacturer's made similar 3 shot rifles, both Germany & France.

Is the barrel (barrels?) rifled? My first thought is that it might be some kind of garden/pest gun for use with .22 shot shells.

They have lots of neat guns if you can find them.I almost bought a double rifle in 22lr but chickened out and decided gophers don't charge enough to need one.

Some more things, I'm noticing:

It doesn't look like the entire bolt can rotate with the way it fits in the receiver. Does only the front portion rotate to lock up?

It's got sights, which is odd since it seems like none of the three barrels are in line with them.

I still think it's some sort of shotgun for use with .22 shotshells but if that's the case, the sights weird me out. It's gotta be pretty heavy too, eh? That's a lot of steel in the barrel

 

[chanman]

Just going to toss in that with all 3 barrels drilled into a single piece of steel, there's no way they're harmonized. Close range pest control/snake gun?

 

[starpuss]

DAM! Now thats what i need!

Best they can do is seven at one time, sorry.

Pieper Volley Gun.

The stock on this one seems very similar to the one in the OP; maybe that three-hole bolter is a Pieper as well...
