No, it is a movie prop from Star Wars, so the prior posters who state they or family have one must be related to Jawas.

Yes it is a cut down short magazine lee enfield (SMLE) No1 Mk 111* in 303
The attachment on the end of the barrel is a granade launcher the magazine would be loaded with blanks to propel a granade down a tunnel

This one doesn't count as unusual but it is rare so should belong here.

It's a Winchester Commemorative for America's Bicentenary of Federation. 40,000 of them were made and only 40 were imported to Australia.

My dad bought it brand new in 1976. It came with two boxes of commemorative ammo and a wall mount. This particular one has never been loaded or fired and has only been out of the box a handful of times, the only thing keeping it from being absolutely mint is some damage to the box :evil:

Note the damage to the box

With wall mount which I'd love to be able to use

The ammo
.177, .22lr, .22-250R, 2x .308W, .30-30W, 7.62x54r, 8x56r, 9x19, .357 Mag, 12GA

I was waiting for this to come out, I first saw one when the Starwars exhibition was at the powerhouse museum, about five years ago?. Many of the weapons used in starwars comprise parts of genuine firearms. For instance Austen hand grips are prevelent on a few and there are other examples. One weapon uses parts from an MG42, try and spot it.

On Sunday I used an original DISCHARGER CUP on an EY reinforced rifle(a full sized SMLE with wire reinforcing) to launch balls 50meters plus using .303 blanks- a lot of fun. It should be noted that shortened SMLE rifles were used, unofficially, as pistols by the tunnelers as there was a shortage of pistols and aussies are known improvisors. Genuine discharger cups are legal and don't require licencing.

However launching grenades into a tunnel probably isn't beneficial to either side nor could the firearm be held as there is WAY too much recoil, the reason the rifle was meant to be reinforced before use with a discharger cup.

I could be wrong and there could be a genuine military firearm such as this but I doubt it, I think it more likely that either Apollo's uncle is a Jawa or there is a funny smell to his post.

I would be quite happy to be proved wrong as there are some unusual things out there.

A bolt action rifle seems like the worst option possible for a tunnel?

Any reason they didn't use a regular shotty?

Any ww1 buffs know the reasoning?


The Australians were directed to not use shotguns as personal weapons after the Turks complained during the Gallipoli campaign. I have only sighted two references to Australians with shotguns: an ordinary soldier with a cut down s x s and an officer with an Ithaca pump.

The Americans, in some instances, were issued with 12 guage pumps in WW1 and there are a few accounts of them being used in the trenches. Some were fitted with bayonet lugs for the 1905 springfield bayonet. I don't know much about them.

Another would be Han Solo's blaster, it's a Broomhandle Mauser slightly modified

Hi guys,

I've just been asked by hubby if anyone has a photo of another unusual firearm.

A "junket gun", not 100% sure on spelling though.

Apparently they came in both large and small bore, and varying length on the barrels.

So, anyone got a pic?

He's not just thinking of "junk gun" like a Saturday night special?

Might be getting some slang confused? Or I could just be wrong too...

I was waiting for someone to twig.

I heard em all as an apprentice, the first day I was sent to the pay office secretary to ask if she had seen any 12" reproductive tools lately as bob(name changed) reckons you have seen more around here than anyone he knows.

I had to fetch my first paypacket from the ladies feminine hygiene dispenser. Not much fun for a 16 year old in those days - it wasn't because I had insulted here it was apparently for being a brainless twit (in her words) and being caught out.
