So what's the story on this one ?

Obviously it's an MIL-K-818 that looks to have a wrap of some kind on it.

I figured it was likely a Camillus.
And really that makes perfect sense, 2002, New York, and we all know what happened in '01.

Searching Google, the only other example I have found is owned by another forum member who doesn't seem to have been around in a long time.
I'm guessing these are fairly scarce.

John, I have a vivid memory of seeing one of those for sale in a gunshop a good 15 or so years ago in Wilson NC. I looked it over and passed on buying it, thought about it, and went back a week later - it was gone (only one I have ever seen) - your picture brought it back to mind. Great Independence Day carry.

I'll be rounding out the month with this one.
