Pic with the action open.

This is not a hinged break-open type shotgun.

It's the French DARNE series of shotguns/double rifles. The breechblock is slid back by pulling up a hinged lever for loading and unloading. It makes sense since you do not have a set of barrels on a hinge where play between the barrel and receiver assemblies can loosen up over time. With the DARNE lockup, the action locks up more consistently (more important if it's a double rifle).

This one's listed at The Muzzleloader Shop as a "custom" gun, not among the 'factory' guns being offered.

You got it. I never would have known about it until I saw it on YouTube.
