This is a REPLICA of a screen-used 1970 BENEATH the PLANET of the APES Gorilla Carbine. This non-firing cosplay movie prop is a replica of the "hero" gorilla rifles used in the second classic POTA film. So many fans out there were replication the BACKGROUND gorilla rifles, that it was driving us bananas! The screen-used background rifles were nothing more than a hunk of wood with a die-cast metal chunk loosely resembling a receiver nailed on top. The "hero" rifle props had the working M-1 carbines as well as the stiletto bayonets in them. The fanbase had us wondering, "If you are going to spend all that time and effort replicating an iconic movie prop, why not replicate the 'hero' prop instead of the background prop?" It just didn't make sense to us. So we ended up replicating the hero rifles and pistols from the original classic POTA film series. There are also DELUXE versions for airsoft, M-1 carbines, and Ruger 10/22's,because some fans like to GO APE at the range!
