Carbines in the Movies

It looks like an M1A1 without the hand guard and with 4X Weaver on a tall side mount. It looks similar to the mount that Universal came up with maybe ten years later, except much taller.

Here's a trailer from the film.

Here's a couple of stills from the movie.

He probably had to hand load those special, high powered, long range carbine sniper rounds.

Just For Fun..... If you've got a little time to kill

Here's one that should be in the "Puzzler" category. Back in 1973 there was an episode of "Hawaii Five-O" called "Hookman". In that episode the bad guy, a double amputee played by J.J. Armes used a number of carbines as sniper rifles to assassinate police members that were responsible for his earlier capture during a robbery that led to the loss of his arms.

    



The actor, J.J.Armes was also a private detective in El Paso, Texas where I lived at the time. I had the opportunity to meet him in person when he visited the company where I worked. Check out this link:

It just so happens that Richard Mills, one of the brothers mentioned in my Carbines of the Collectors post also knew J.J. Armes and actually worked with him during his early career in law enforcement. Both Richard and Armes are now in their 80's but still work in law enforcement, Richard working for our local PD and Armes operating his PI business in El Paso, "The Investigators".

The "Puzzle" is...Who made the carbine used in the Hawaii Five-O episode?

Looks like a Plainfield Paratrooper to me.

Watching an old TV show today. A carbine was used to commit a 40 year old murder that the Police were investigating. This was episode 8, season 5 and first aired in 1991. Can anyone name the TV show??
