Somebody Has Gotta Want This

I don't know which is more interesting, the rear Sight or the weld-it-yourself barrel kit. It's actually a nice rifle.

It looks like the fancy sight its screwed into the wood. I don't see a barrel tang. Strange indeed.

Someone got a deal on this one at $350, plus shipping!
Anyone want to own up to it?  :D
