Mike;
Re your third photo: Is there a crack in the firing pin bolster of right side where the firing pin retaining screw is located?
Regards;

Be fair, you could also use the shot barrel for snipe and quail if you have very strong arms.

muzzles of the rifle barrels appear to be octagonal (?) bores....four large lands and grooves (similar to enfield/snider?) on the first three tubes....and the fourth barrel has six quite small lands with much broader grooves.
guess they ran out of matching blanks for this bizarre exercise...thanks for letting us look mike.
best regards,
tom

Whoever put it together likely didn't make the barrels, but bought them from a specialist barrel maker and may have had one or more in stock from other jobs.

By definition, a true Grande Complication / Mechanical Contrivance. Looks to be 100% Peter Oberhammer design and I am not sure if he or his crew made it, but it wears all the hallmarks.. If you look about 3/4s of the way down(right below the rotating Mauser) you will find an artikel on a vierling( Ein vierläuflges Gewehr von Oberhammer ) but I guess Peter Oberhammer just scaled it a bit more. https://www.germanhuntingguns.com/archives/oberhammer-peter-of-munich/https://oberhammer-jagd.de/I do wonder about the chamberings if they are in-fact correct?
