Actually, it looks like it's still ON the wall.It's certainly an off-the-wall pistol!

Bolt doesn’t seem to have the right bend, and the trigger is the wrong shape, but it might just be older than any I’ve seen or modified.Modified Anschutz Exemplar I believe.....
Reminds me of a vintage Winchester Model 60 rimfire rifle action type with the way the firing pin assembly sticks out of the rear of the bolt. After that ... I ain’t got a clue.Looks to me like someone was trying to make a rimfire version of the XP-100.
Pretty sure that is a prototype of the only approved firearm in the upcoming President Warren Administration. All game and targets will be shot with that single shot atrocity.
Unless it’s the government doing the shooting of course. Their equipment will be a slight bit better.
I never owned one (almost), but I've shot them. I was killing Clay's at 100yds with iron sights.I know a few guys that competed with XP, My money is on them over jack-booted Fudds.

While it has resemblances to an XP-100, it's not. Although, it does seem to have that Mohawk front sight and rib going on. It appears to be .22 due to the rear cocking handle. I'd say a XP-100 inspired .22 rifle cut down to be a hunter pistol. Or inversely, it's older and inspired the XP-100.
Indeed it is...I thought I had read somewhere that it is illegal to convert a rifle to a handgun by cutting it down.
I can't he passed away ten years ago and we're putting my aunt in nursing home shortly.Here is a novel idea. Why don't you ask your uncle what it is?????????
Take a look at the placement of the extractor. We need better pics.I'm going to throw in a vote for a cut-down Anschutz Karabiner Single Shot 22 LR Rifle.
Receiver, bolt handle location, cocking piece and receiver ring look similar to this

I shot XP's for several years. I had a 221 Fireball & a 7mm BR. I killed a truckload of groundhogs with that Fireball.
My Fireball had a lot of work & in a custom stock. The BR was stock but was a bear to shoot.You were actually one of the guys I heard about being a heck of an XP shooter.... I have thought about getting a custom XP built.... but I just don't know....
