Odd barrel

Photos, yes! But so far, my guess would be an artillery with its barrel chopped off, perhaps the barrel band re-created, and a rear sight to make up for the loss of the original on the barrel. Pics!

Yes, pictures are a must. We have seen some strange barrels here lately, and I for one find them all interesting!

They're in here -

http://forum.lugerforum.com/album.php?albumid=560

But I'll link them, because I can't tell what they are either...

Is this first pic the toggle-mounted rear sight???

This one looks like an artillery barrel that has been rounded off to eliminate the large dovetail base for the tangent rear sight...

And what little shows of the receiver/barrel extension is heavily buffed...Way heavy...

And here is what it looked like before 'bubba' ground the snot out of it...
