Looks like a Boys (aka Boyes) anti tank rifle.

My first picture? No. Not even close. :icon_tong T-man got it, but he just needs to get the name.

If the guess is for the second picture... no.

Too keep it military related...

Correct war and nation. Wrong model.

Right ... MG 34 --- wrong barrel for a '42 --- should have figured that out right away.

Ok...slight threadjack here....

At Nellis AFB, I think close to McDonalds, there is a building/compound.

If you happen to be on a TAD trip, and happen to take along a copy of your security clearance, there are some interesting things so see within that compound...depending upon your level of clearance. Most are from the Cold War and VN war era.

I have heard of this museum. Some very interesting things I've been told.

Ahh yes the Soviet petting zoo. You must have a copy of your clearance to view msot of it but it is worth losing an hour or two at the casinos to go.

Punt gun?

Yup!

That boat gun...a 2 gauge on a punt...didn't know it had a specific name. There were 2 on display in TX at the Texas Rangers museum in 1991. No name was given on the display caption. They had a three gauge on display too. "Pull!"
