Best bet would be some sort of trap gun.The rod under the barrel with the eye loop probably runs the length of the tube under the barrel,and probably had some sort of way to attach a bait or tripline on the end near the muzzle,rather like the old Furgetter trap gun(was available in .22 and 10 ga.),but homebuilt or a patent model.Mechanism reminds me of the second version of the North & Couch trap pistol.Heard that were popular as a roo trap in Australia,Jack404 may have seen one before they were totally banned.
