Found more or less in a pile of rubble while cleaning out a house

Looks like a toy gun but no markings. Not sure if it's hand made or what. Any info would be lovely

Kinda looks like the replica pistols they sell at Knotts Berry Farm

Can you show a picture of the end grain on the butt stock end?
I’m guessing it’s been cut down; originally a longer “rifle” stock

Looks like a toy. Stuff a rubber ball down the barrel, pull back that bolt back a few inches, then when the trigger is pulled, the bolt would harmlessly launch the ball out the barrel.
