Holy Guacamole!  That second one actually makes this '49 single shot look sort of elegant!

I wish I had some evidence to show but many years ago my brother-in-law bought 3 Webly Mark VI as kit guns. They had been demilled by smashing and cylinders and barrels and were ruined.   But in the deal, they included replacement cylinders and barrels. I put them together and they actually worked.  Here comes the strange part...  I cut the hinge and top strap off a smashed barrel and welded them onto a 10" section of 45 caliber barrel we happened to have.  The barrel extended back to the recoil shield.  I chambered it to 45-70.  I installed the extractor made from an original just cut 5 legs off.  We actually shot it a few times with very light loads.  After we had our fun, I switched it back to 45 revolver.   I had the ugly 45-70 barrel assembly for a while but not seen it in 20 years.
