ID the gun in this family photo?

[Jollyllama]

Assault rifle.

As I asked before. What is the year of the photo?

We are not sure. My wife found several undeveloped rolls of film in her Dad's basement, and I sent them out to a custom shop to be developed. He didn't remember them being there, and he doesn't have a camera of that format. My wife's grandfather may have taken them.

That said, judging from the newest cars that I've seen in some of the photos they would be about 1952, or later.

Thanks, guys. I should have noticed how small and light it appeared to be. Not at the top of my game right now. Recovering from a broken back, and am in a fair amount of pain.

Hope you get to feeling better soon!

 

[Rack&Roll]

Yes, take it easy brother Machodoc....

Cool avatar, Scout. Yankee with SPIE rig?

 

[scout6]

Yep, SPIE. Also been tied to ?joes? (side by side instead of vertical). Was back in the mid 90's. Closest thing to actually having wings, amazing experiences.

How about this rifle? A toy as well?

Bill, I agree with Scout6. Definitely looks like the Rifleman's lever action toy rifle. (I always wanted one of those when I was a kid. I guess that's why I'm still looking for a .22 lever action now). Judging from the picture and the gun I'd date the picture to the late 50's to early sixties, which would probably make the boy about in his mid to late 50's now.

Hope you feel better.

Guessing 1950 Dodge sedan

They are all assault weapons and must be banned. It's for the children.

 

[AC MkIII]

It is Baby Face Nelson and his Baby pistol

 

[Jollyllama]

See what happens when you give the childrens guns at an early age? They become baby face Nelson. Coexist.

 

[dapefley]

The child looks very young and the ease with which it is being held, I would also say it is a toy.

This is summer of 1960. I was 19 months.

Were your first words "from my cold dead hands"? way to go Mac-C85

Now that would be child abuse and social services would be paying you a visit.

Actually, they were "Truck, Daddy, Truck" when I woke up going through a tunnel on the PA Turnpike while headed to Conneaut Lake, PA where my great-aunt/uncle had a lake-front home. Unfortunately, for my parents the next five hours were "Truck, Daddy, Truck!!!" They had made a bed in the back seat of the car and we left oh dark thirty after my Dad got off second shift.

Now that I think about it, it was probably this same summer.
