Looks like a Marco Enterprises version.

Welcome aboard Grimmy! Like Bwood said: a Marco. FrontierModels in the U.K. was selling these about 6 or 7 years ago. Now they sell a recast of a PKD or OffWorld if my memory serves me well. (Andy is the specialist in BR blasters around here).

Looks like it is a Recast of the OZ Shop gun from Japan. Since it is in England it is very likely the one Comet Miniatures sold under the name "SSG". It was a common replica for many years in the UK. Frontier Models very likely recast that version for theirs, and they cast most of the greeblies in place. Since the greeblies are put on in the wrong spots on this gun, it is most likely one of the earlier versions. Marco Enterprises also recast the OZ Shop as did AdVen. Each put their own twists on it though. Marco put a light pipe in the barrel for flash effect.
