REPLICA 1968 Planet of the Apes Gorilla Carbine prop This amazing replica was painstakingly patterned and detailed by master Hollywood modelers to match the original rifles used in the classic first Apes movie. With the exception of the assembly hardware (strap swivels, bolts, screws, and springs) the rest of the fourty or so parts used on this re-creation were all fabricated in durable urethane resins and plastics. There is no wood or metal anywhere else on this prop. The expert painters are fooling your eyes! The stock has been sealed with automotive clear-coat to protect the expert faux wood detailing. The exposed urethane rifle parts were painted to resemble aged gunmetal. Although it may look realistic, there are no moving parts in the solid dummy receiver. This replica movie prop rifle meets ATF requirements for "non-gun" status and CAN NOT be made to fire real ammunition of any kind. It's a prop, folks! This is considered the "economy" model, for those Gorillas on a budget. There is also a limited edition 35th Anniversary Deluxe airsoft version for those higher ranking simian solders with Forbidden Zone sized piggy banks. For those live-fire shooting enthusiasts, this replica stock is also available to fit the Ruger 10/22 and US M1 Carbine. The live-fire stocks are fabricated from fiberglass, carbon fiber, and epoxy resins.
