What are the weapons? Looks like an SKS and barrel and then two AK type barrels and assorted bits & pieces?

I think the SKS barrel is just below the AK magazine. One of the AK barrels is shorter and there's a folding stock so I'd assume those are from an SKS.

I meant to write AKMS for the folding one.
