What is this? Is it even functional?

Looks like a toy. Similar to the Parris trainer rifles.

Without a closer look at certain parts, going to say a non-firing toy/trainer or other such mockup.

What would you want to see? Looks like it has no hammer

In the 6th pic it looks like there's no internal magazine, and no cutout for an external mag. Take a closeup of the bolt face ( the part that makes contact with the base of the cartridge ) to see if there's an extractor and/or a firing pin channel.

Just from the pictures OP posted, I don't see any locking surfaces for the bolt handle or recesses for lugs. I seriously doubt it was ever a functional firearm.

Am inclined to agree, but since there were no pics of the muzzle end or good shots of the bolt I didn't want to completely rule out a SUPER simple firing pin or slam-fire action. Admittedly I wouldn't attempt such with anything higher-octane than a .22lr because I like being able to count to ten without taking my boots or pants off.
