I saw this rifle on the cover of a book as I was passing through a book store. I paged through it for four or five minutes but couldn't find it inside and there was no index. Anyone know what it is?
Looks like a Turner Conversion but the pistol grip fwd of the wrist and rear of bolt arrangement is not shown on the Forgotten Weapons example. Ross
First thought was a M1915 Howell Automatic Rifle Conversion. In fact it is a Charlton automatic Rifle of New Zealand origin: further information at: Charlton automatic rifle
It is, to be quite precise, an "Australian Electrolux Charlton". See Vid at 3:12 And, how unsurprisingly, a certain site has something to go with it: Australian Electrolux Charlton
