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

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?
