Soviet PTRS-41 anti-tank rifle?

 

[mark222]

A precision rifle??

 

[Blastattack]

It's the ISIS backyard special. Equally lethal on both ends.

 

[Outwest1213]

No sights?

 

[Tjv787]

Pogo stick?

 

[Donny Fenn1]

a crutch for a really big dude?

 

[rickspeed]

50 caliber Pogo stick...?

 

[J996]

Its the "can hit a vehicle at 50 yards but that's about it" rifle.

 

[Tjv787]

50 caliber Pogo stick...?

Hahahha
"Boing , boing, boing....BANG"

 

[Outwest1213]

Donkey probe?

 

[757Fixer]

Goat herding stick?

 

[Stryker13]

Is that a tapped up crutch as a butt stock?

Thanks, I believe you are correct.

 

[Blastattack]

Thanks, I believe you are correct.

It's not, and clearly so. It's some junk put together of local manufacture.

 

[jparent]

Ok Jamil. You only get one shot.

 

[one Lonewolf]

50 cal pogo sick, good for one bounce

 

[tula]

I do believe the barrel screws off you chamber a round screw the barrel back on and fire. It's a cobble job.

 

[tootall]

The muzzle brake has a distinctive look. Round with two flat spots.
Makes me think the barrel is pulled from a 12.7x108 DShK

It seems to draw some inspiration from Soviet anti-tank rifles, PTRD and PTRS, if nothing else...

PTRD-41:

PTRS-41 (semi-automatic version):
