Broken?

I would guess torch cut parts for a machinegun, likely an imported one, but am not sure of the specifics yet.

Way beyond Broken, "De-Milled" !!
De-milled=De-Militarized. Same Same Destroyed. (To those that are not of strong will and ingenuity !!)

Not a Shotgun unless you consider repetitive rounds to be "Shot" !!

Mr H is right, there was quite a bit of Welding involved. Much much more machining of 4140 though. Bending the shiny piece was a REAL chore.

I believe that these are torch cut demilled components of a machine gun.
The scale in the first pic threw me off, but the paper it is on, if standard 8"x10" sheets, is more reasonable.
The design appears to be of a weapon with a spring or operating rod tube roughly the same diameter of and parallel to the barrel.
Barrel appears to be quick change, so not a BAR.
It appears to be the pintle mount section of the weapon, basically the front of the receiver and barrel extension/op rod area.
I do not recognize it as a modern system, looks more like WW II era piece. Not a 1919, nor an MG42, nor a Nambu, from my perspective. Maybe Czech, like a ZB26, or Soviet?
Good game AM, where are the 18Bs?

More welding.
The Reaper

I believe that is an M-60 Machinegun Receiver.
My final answer.

Man, that is an OLD pic, a REAL removable pull top. Mixing Bud and Coors? Pre-'86, I am sure.

Aha, aiming low at an early age!
Probably appropriate for a D Model with the spade grips.

To ALL !! That is a LEGALLY REGISTERED Title II Weapon. I was fortunate enough to build it just before the manufacturing ban for "Civil" use went into effect. TR had it, mid '80s.

In reference to our ages it was yesterday.
Nice Sock Monkey, BTW, Air.177!
TR
Well, I'll take it as a compliment that these two thought me enough of a target for such a preemptive strike. And I'll have you all know it's a sock BEAR Thank You Very Much.

Absolutely.
And a very nice Sock Bear it is.
I am sure that they humored you when you called the Sock Monkey that. "Aw look, isn't he the cutest little thang?"
Do you still have it?
If we don't get our 5.11 order soon, you will see it again here. Tell your CTD Boss that we can come to visit for a while till they come in. We can have a little tea party.
Unless AM kills us off in the meanwhile for pulling your chain. You realize we don't bother playing with the people we don't like, BTW.
Always great when someone you know well puts the chum in the waters for you. :D
Take care.

Looks a lot less impressed from this perspective as well.
Ditched his woobie for a Sixty!!
Didn't I see that Sock Puppet listed on your current gear loadout the other day?

Damn right, Even from an early age, I've always preferred firepower over, "security blankets" and "comfort Items"
No sir, it was not listed in the loadout thread, had to be pulled from storage for this purpose

Impressed, probably not. But it looks like he served admirably as a seat cushion:D

I sincerely hope that a female member of your family had the sock monster in storage, and it was not merely a matter of you pulling him out from storage underneath your pillow.
TR
I had to ask where the thing was, if it was still around. Ended up it was in a shadow box that I didn't even know existed.

I like it, has a nice ring to it. Looks like we found an acceptable middle ground. Neither Bear, nor Monkey, just "Sock Monster"
Nice thread, pig, and monkey! I guess I need to get out more in these forums to see what there is out here.
I remember seeing one of those same monkeys in pictures with me when I was a youngin' :cool:
