Take a closeup photo or two of the barrels so I can see the threads... you MAY not have a useable barrel if the threads are messed up.

Do any of the barrels have a decent bore?

The photo you have already posted is not in sharp focus, but it appears that from the bottom up, only the 2nd, 3rd and 4th barrel may be candidates for reinstallation into a receiver. The rest have had their flange removed to make disassembly of the barrel/receiver easier. This is a technique used by some when the reuse of the barrel is not anticipated.

Springs are not that expensive... you just may get a shooter out of this.
