I don’t know

It looks like who ever made it duct taped part of a gun to another bit of gun. It was taken from a criminal in Mexico apparently.

Improvised single-shot shotgun

An improvised 12 gauge design. Presumably bolt handle locking, which slides forward to open. How the favella engineering department seemed to exceed ahead of Cobray on this one is anyone’s guess.

Bolt action shotgun (Philippines)

A local craft made bolt action 12 gauge shotgun typically produced by rural gunsmiths. The bolt handle appears to have battered and peened back the locking slot. Seized in Manilla.
