[Lawguns]

I second my opnion. I think that is a cut down bbl and stock and what I first thought mught be a bbl nut is the wood stock with a bbl band.

That was the way I was also leaning Lawguns. I would have liked a better pic, but oh well.

Thanks, that is probably it! With scope and..something tacked onto the front to make it look like an evil grenade launcher or something.

I recently wrote a paper for a class on stockholm syndrome and used her as an example. I saw that and I searched and searched, I couldn't find the type or make. Who knows what the SLA put in her hands for that picture.

according to court testimony it was a M-1 with a sawed-off barrel thats off wikipedia

The magazine is perfectly straight in the first pic. Doesn't look like an M-1 mag.

Carmel, are the mags taped together "jungle style"?

Kirk that was kind of what I was thinking also.

Aren't most M-1 mags straight? When I first got my carbine it had a 30rd mag with it that was straight. I would post a pic but I seem to have lost it.

speaking of m-1 carbines, are they worth the money? thinking about picking one up.

I would say they are absolutely worth it. After receiving my first carbine as a gift I have since bought 4 more. They are awesome range guns. Not sure if I would use it for a SD gun though.

ABSOLUTELY! They are an awesome 200 yard and under gun! Have carried one in my truck for years (figure it survived WWII and Korea it will make a good truck gun) smiting coyote. If it'll kill a coyote at 200 yards I am pretty sure it will put the fight out of a man at 15 feet in my house too. Speaking ballistics it is comparable to the .357 Mag round.

I suppose it could be, but looks wrong. The 15 rounders were straight, but the 30 rounders were curved, the .30 carbine round has a definite taper. It would be too long for even two 15 rounders taped together and two straight for two 30 rounders. The barrel also looks wrong the width is more like a M-3 SMG that an M-1 Carbine barrel, but it too short and the nut wrong to be an M-3. What .45 SMG can you mount a big, goofy hunting scope on?

This is Patty Hearst.
What in hell is she holding?

Photograph of Patty Hearst in front of the insignia of the Symbionese Liberation Army holding an assault rifle. This image was taken during Hearst's time with the SLA and was released to the media to advertise that she had apparently joined their organization. Given its proliferation in the media, it has come to be the most recognizable image of both the SLA and Patty Hearst. According to court testimony, the gun is a modified full auto M1 Carbine with sawed-off barrel.

It's been a year since last post, sorry bout that,
but somebody will maybe be interested in seeing that the magazine inserted in this mock up funny gun is reverse pointed (?!?) Sten/mp40 magazine.

You can clearly see the magazine stop, back U groove stamping and cutout for magazine latch.
Looking on the grooves on the side of mag - they are characteristic for mp40 magazine.
If you don't believe me, search for pictures of that magazines, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Why the hell they inserted the sten/mp40 magazine in m1 carbine
(or is it really m1 carbine ?)
and reverse pointed it, don't ask me, you gotta ask Patty

I guess you can tell what will be the future of this political gang and analyze their (probably) chaotic psychology just by looking at the crazy mock up weapons they provided for the picture...

all I see is that it must have been cold in that room
