I posted a thread over on THR about a "Palintid" shotgun. This is what you're talking about. Basically, two pieces of pipe and a nail.

Some Army guy who had been working with the Resistance in the Phillipines tried marketing these as utility shotguns just after WWII. With thousands of European shotguns dufflebagged back and our factories shifting back from war production, they attracted little interest.

This is more curiousa than shooter.

HTH....
