Love my Berthiers! Mine's a 1907-15.Mine is probably my Birthier cavalry rifle in 8mm Lebel. It's an attic rescue. The empty clip drops out the bottom when inserting the loaded clip. During WWI, when troops in the trenches would set their rifles in the mud while shooting, mud would clog that hole, so the door was added. I hunted for the spring that keeps the trap door closed, but that part is a unicorn. The screw that keeps the 2 piece bolt together is interesting.

The Altor looks like a bet was made. "I bet you can't make a gun out of these leftover parts". Lol. Nice collection!I'm naturally a collector for weird firearms. I don't think I have any really rare stuff, they might be so I'll include them. Please post pictures and share your weird and rare!!! Heck, include the ugliest firearms too!
I'll start out with some rare, well what doesn't readily show up on gunbroker anyways.
This first one I call the Mandalorian. It's a Glock 34, well kinda. Only about 5% of its total components are plastic. The frame itself is a CCF frame. Some years back CCF made stainless, aluminum and titatium frames for Glock. They have since closed their doors. Every now and then one of the old frames will pop up on gunbroker.
next for rare is my Glock 17T (blue) and 17R (red). The 17T are somewhat common but the 17Rs are a little harder to come by.
Next is the Hudson H9. They're not extremely rare, but not common either. Even though it turned out to be a big flop it does shoot rather well. Picked it up right as the company went under, for the price I couldn't pass it up.
to start my unusual guns is the Ideal Conceal "cell phone" gun. While not super practical for carrying, I believe it has a lot of potential. Shooting/operating is actually quite pleasing for what it is. Very easily hides in plain sight. little side to side with the lifecard. Lifecard is a neat little gun too, but the overall operation of deploying, loading, and firing are horrible.
Next oddball is the Freedom Ordnance FM9. As far as I know, it is the only belt fed 9mm. It's a lot of fun to dump a few boxes of ammo. And yes it is a legal SBR..
For weird and ugly is the Altor 9mm... I don't have much to say other than it looks like a hot glue gun and is miserable to shoot. But kudos to the designer for designing an inexpensive working firearm with minimal components.
And for the downright ugliest gun in my entire collection at a whopping 45 dollars. Haskell JS-45.. Pure beauty. From my understanding, they were the precursors to the hipoints. Trust me, its as heavy as it looks
