Well , I can't tell what the two end guys are holding , the right one may be a 1911 slide , but the two on each side of the center man holding the BAR mainspring are holding BAR triggerguard assemblies , the left center for sure and the right center looks to be . Don't see the second BAR though . Maybe they're replacing a bad trigger group ?

It looks like the watchmaker in the first picture in the link is also making extra money on the side(the civilian wristwatch hanging up on the left).
