My dad was born in 1936 and when he was a kid there used to be trains with open hopper cars full of WW2 salvage that passed through our home town. He and his friends would get into the cars when they stopped and throw out anything neat looking to play with. Most of the firearms were chopped up or the stocks were burned off but they found some things that looked enough like guns that they had fun playing "war". He said after a while they got tired of playing with it a tossed them aside. One of my great uncles a WW1 vet was a pack rat and self taught blacksmith and he saved a few bits and pieces for "projects". I found 2 gun barrels in his workshop when he passed away and stored them at my dad's house until he moved. Anyone have any idea what they are? the only markings is the number 277 you see in one of the pictures.
