You were warned … This is the Frankenstein’s monster of early 20th Century American arms:
An M103 Springfield in an SBR (Short Barrel Rifle) configuration presumably converted to .45 ACP with a 1911 pistol grip being used as the magazine well.
It is hideous. Something only its mother could love!
Hat Tip: Хроники безумного Макса
Its not even photoshoped. Its just a 1911 behind a 1903.

0It looks funny, but guns are not designed for looks.
0 0i think if it were a 1911 behind the 1903 the triger guard or slide would be showing out of the top or bottem i might be wrong though
0 0and to add on top of that last comment the triger guard would be showing because the magazine release is just inside the triger guard on a normal 1911 pistol wich in this photo it seems that the triger guard must have been sawed off because u cant see it so it cant be a 1911 behind a 1903 (replying to komrad)
0 0Gen. Patton once proposed a 1903 carbine in 45 and had a couple of examples built but the army found it unneeded.
0 0what kind of joke is this?!?!?
0 0almost looks like the beginnings of an American Delisle carbine (Sp)
0 0According the Springfield Armory Museum website, it was used for testing .45 ACP ammunition. They have another M1903 converted to .45 ACP in their collection, but it is only a barreled action.
0 0Daniel, ah, so thats were that photo is from. I suppose that makes it part of history and not a hacked up job.
0 0No Way!
Gotta be photoshopped!
0 0According to the Springfield Armory Museum, it has been in their collection since July 14, 1941. SPAR 1450 is its catalog number. SPAR = Springfield Armory.
0 0Some weird part of me wants that gun, it could only be fun.
