Mine was a Calico M-950, a 9mm pistol with a 50 round helical coil magazine that mounted to the top of the receiver. I had a love-hate relationship with it. It was super heavy and impossible to fire accurately (even with the forearm and a sling). But it sure was a conversation piece at the range and a blast to shoot! They even made a 100 round magazine for this little barker!
It made a fine get home gun in my car for years until I sold it about 5 years ago. Now I wish I never did.

The strangest one I have is a bolt-action 20 gauge shotgun.
-
Not really 'strange', but I have an 1840's Hawken Plains Rifle.
-
I inherited my grandpa's 16 guage pump, nothing too odd except the guage. I'll be looking for a 16 guage shotshell reloading set-up soon :).

I once had German made 22 rifle that could be used as a bolt action or a semi-auto, just depended whether you truned the bolt handle down or not. Never did find a magazine for it so I sold it.

A single shot Stevens .22 rifle.
It look just like a lever action , but the lever dropped a falling block.

I guess the oddest one I have in my Kel-Tec Sub2000 folding rifle.

*I'd really like to get my b-i-l's H&R Model 922 (made in 1955)..... he brought it over the other night to show it to me. It is an odd 9-shot .22 revolver that basically works like an over-sized NAA .22. You have to pull the base-pin out and remove the cylinder to punch out the empty cases (using the base-pin).
H&R made a pile of them, but they are still odd guns.....only problem is that he over-paid for the gun and I just can't give him what he would want for it.

Strange? Innovative? Different?
I have a 1903 Savage 22 pump that's different and one of these that's innovative...strange I don't have.

I had an Ithaca like that.
My dad currently has my late uncles's Ithaca .410 single shot. It was the first gun I went squirrel hunting with. It looked like a lever-action rifle without the magazine tube. The lever broke open the action.
**About a month after my uncle died (back in 2010), my dad went and got the gun from my aunt to use to kill squirrels in the pecan grove. When he pulled under his carport on his golf cart, the barrel was hanging over the edge of the seat and got caught on a column and bent around in a nice arc. I was sick to my stomach when he showed it to me. Luckily, one of our neighbors is a gunsmith and he had an an arbor and plate that was made to straighten barrels....when he was finished, it looked as good as new (I think I posted pics back then).

if exotic and expensive count.... my first "custom" pistol... a Rock Merrill single shot in 30-30, later a .357 mag barrel for IHMSA big bore standing
-
A Smith Model 10 with a 2" barrel. BIG grip, itty Bitty barrel. Still have it, but it doesn't leave the safe much anymore.

Yesterdays news said Hebrew National food co. is getting sued because their wieners aren't Kosher.

Sounds like a .310 martini cadet a l/a which drops the block
I have 3 of those!

Back in the day the Martini was sold in the US chambered in .45/70.
I think they were trying for a Govt contract.
