Hunter,
That certainly is a unique looking firearm. It looks like a pistol converted into a carbine.
What markings are on it?
Can you get us some better pictures close up?

I think I may have found you a video. Check the link above.
It appears to be a Unique model L.
Please let me know if this is correct.

Hi guys, its not my gun, but the owner is a member of a local forum here in my country.
It is a pistol that convert to be in this carbine stock. He said that it has 2 barrels. He might make a video of it which I will post here.

Bob's Gun Shop bought all the leftover factory parts, but I don't see any extended magazines listed.

I am glad I clicked on this thread. That is an interesting firearm (or two?).
Field Tester - nice find on the video.
JohnBT - thanks for the Bob's Gun Shop link. I had forgotten about that parts source and quickly added it to my Bookmarks.

I remember seeing those in Gun Digests of the 1960s.
It is the Unique Model L pistol in a carbine conversion unit.
It did not then come with such a long magazine.
Another source of standard length magazines is

What a thread!
Unique about covers it.
Really makes a guy wonder:
Were those French .22s that cheap and commonly available?
Who put all the time and money into a one-off long gun package?
Did the whole thing originate in Europe to allow already existing pistol owners to keep a later outlawed pistol?
Where the heck did that monster mag come from?
Intriguing.
