A solid case of "much ado about nothing"

This set of barrels is essentially a rescued door prop, which in a former life was most interestingly a Rube Goldberg effort at a sleeve-job shotgun-to-rifle conversion.

Today it sits rusted, sandblasted, and scrutinized here - but for what effect?
There's no historical significance there, the work shown is unconventional in a somewhat garish fashion, and there's no stock/action/locks to accompany it.


Am I missing something or is there supposed to be a gem perched in those pits?
