Donkey Nails another. Here is the info: VSS (Vinovka Snaiperskaja Spetsialnaya = Special Sniper Rifle) was designed for special operations. Designed at TSNIITochMash (Central Institute for Precision Machine Building) by team lead by Petr Serdjukov, the new rifle was intended to replace some AK-47/AKM rifles, fitted with silencers, in the hands of various Special Operations (SpetsNaz) troops of Soviet Army, KGB and MVD. To achieve desired lethality against targets, protected with body armor, TSNIITochMash had to develop a new subsonic cartridge, based on the 7.62x39 case, necked out for 9mm bullet. The bullets used in new cartridges are long and heavy (about 16 gram), and of ball (SP-5) and AP (SP-6) type. The latter bullet features a hardened steel penetrator as the core, and can defeat most military issue body armors at ranges up to 300-400 meters. VSS is in use since late 1980s, and is widely used in Chechnya against separatists. VSS is quite popular among its users for its stealthy capabilities and great lethality of heavy 9mm bullets. The effective range of VSS is limited to 300-400 meters.

Q 83 ilintner scores another one. These are said to be rare firearms. prices upwards of $2500. CDNN listed on today for $1K but said "Unfireable". these had some issue when new. Frequent Q is where is the 12Ga mag? It is the top of the shoulder stock!

Clues: This rifle was considered as a replacement for the for the M1903. Very early mil Semi-auto. Cal. .276 Pedersen.
Czechoslovakian Model ZH29
Every part was machined except the buttplate, mag body and mag floorplate. Limited commercial success because of the high cost associated with all the machined parts. The aluminum forend served as a head dissipater. Several unusual features include: the bolt locked into the left side of the receiver, the barrel was fixed slightly out of square with the receiver, the rear sight is offset to one side, while the front sight is centered on the barrel.

TennJeep tags this one with this 1927 Mil Semi Auto. Well done Lad.

The grip shape reminds me of a Radom.
Edit: HK VP70, the first polymer framed pistol. Shown with the combination holster/stock that allowed select fire.

tennJeep gets another one. This firearm could also fire burst from an 18 round mag!

I'm glad you jumped on board. Q 84 sat for a long time. Q 86 even with the Pic Location may be tough. That one is all about what is under the disk on the butt. Otherwise it would not be there. Lol
I tried to work on figuring it out for a while earlier, but I didn't get very far. I tried searching for just about anything distinguishing I could find, but nada.
I'm trying to figure out what the metal is right behind the receiver. Is it a stock extension or magazine? Can't figure it out.

DMurphy Has spoken and nailed this one. This air rifle came with a conversion kit under the plate on the butt that allowed the air pressure to drive a firing pin for a rimfire round!

Damn I was way off... I'm looking at Annie Oakley's Remington Beals Rifle hopeing that was it, but it's close in looks but no cigar...
