"Modern" Rifles for rent

[Rental prices below cover the first 30 days.]

There have been a boatload of laws passed during the past decade that have made the availability of replicas of modern (post 1880's) firearms ever tighter. Certain cities and states have restrictions on who can receive modern replicas, even non-firing ones.

Are you making a film? Then click the highlight before reading on.

    K24 - MAUSER - bolt action rifle used since 1885 until past WWII with slight modifications. 49". work/prop – [$ 72.00]

    K23 - ENFIELD No 4 Mark 1 - used especially by British forces during the two World Wars. Also known as the Lee-Enfield and as the SMLE. 44".     work/prop – [$ 72.00]

    K26 - SPRINGFIELD PARADE RIFLE - just a wooden stock and a rudimentary bolt action, but if your show can’t afford the others above, this is a huge savings. 3 lbs, 42 " long  work/prop – [$ 8.00]

    K25 - BOLT-ACTION CARBINE - the word comes from carabini, a mounted musketeer, who needed a weapon shorter than the heavy traditional musket. So carbine now means any rifle shorter than what the manufacturer considers "standard".  work/prop – [$ 72.00]

   

K12 - MOSSBERG RIFLE – light weight rifle, looks pretty good,  40", no moving parts.       prop – [$ 15.60]

 

K18 - PLINKING RIFLE – very light semi-automatic sporting rifle [the kind of thing to shot tin cans with], or even a child's rifle.  35", no moving parts, and we only have one of these.       prop – [$ 24.00]

 

    G81 - WAGONMASTER – Although also shown on our "longarms" page because it was first developed in the 1870's the style has still remained popular among casual hunters, especially in the American West. work/prop – [$ 40.00]

 

Automatic Rifles

Our replica assault weapons are not capable of automatic fire. Of those that can fire, one shot only per each pull of the trigger. Nine shots before reloading    ("what kind of blanks  do I need?")

 

    K40 - THOMPSON SUB-MACHINE GUN - also known as the Tommy Gun. This is a strongly built, steel and wood replica. The firing version can only fire in semi-auto, not fully automatic.

Did you know that... it was the first practical US military machine gun, but was of only random lethality? The stock is angled down against the shoulder, so as the gun fired, the recoil forces drove the barrel up, so bullets would spray as much into the ceiling as across a room.

       prop/non-firing – [$ 60.00]

blank-fire – [$ 98.00]  only fires nine shots in semi-auto format - you can't get a "rat-a-tat-a-tat"

 

 By the way, only a dismantled Tommy gun could be carried in a viola case, and never in that of a violin. So what to do for "Anything Goes"? Here's what we have :

 Z92 - A modern, and modified, high impact plastic viola case with a replica Tommy gun permanently built into it.  – [$ 70.00]

 

 

    K55 - STEYER SOLOTHURN - designed in Austria for WWII, extremely well-made, and was purchased by dozens of countries, but always in small quantities due to its high price. We only have two of these.  prop only – [$ 36.00]

 

 

    K44 – SCHMEISSER - actually called the MP-40, it was the quintessential German submachine gun of WWII. As the Allied forces were issued the heavy and cumbersome Tommy Gun, many US soldiers preferred to ditch the Thompson if they could get their hands on a Schmeisser.  Removable clip. work/prop – [$ 44.00]

 

 

K41 - FIRING AIR BOURNE - the AXIS powers in WWII commissioned dozens of weapons from a host of arms manufacturers. Sub-machine guns saw more use toward the end of the war but even early on they were standard issue for paratroopers.   22 cal. blank-fire – [$ 52.50]

 

 

    K43 – STEN Mk III - thousands of these "cheap and nasty" sub-machine guns were made by the British for their own use against the Germans, and were parachuted in by the crate-load to partisan fighters throughout Europe. Still found in use throughout the world. An interesting look since, instead of a fore grip, the left hand merely hangs onto the bullet clip, which is mounted horizontally. Removable clip, very sturdy and comes with strap. work/prop – [$ 39.60]

 

 

    K53 - CZ-24 - used by the Czech army from 1948, tons were also exported to a score of countries, and still pop-up in large quantities on the black market. Shown with and without the removable shoulder stock. Can be used with a strap. The basic layout was copied for the Israeli Uzi.  work/prop – [$ 49.00]

 

 

    K60-5 - AK-47 [Zhekov] -  imitated throughout the world, the Army Kalashnikov [AK] model 47 rifle has been called the most successful weapon ever designed. Full steel and wood, with working bolt, this is a Czechoslovakian AK, extremely sturdy and can be fitted with a strap and even a bayonet. work/prop – [$ 83.00]

 

 

    K60-7 - AK-47 firing -This version, actually a larger than life replica, can fire in semi-automatic mode up to nine shots as quickly as the trigger can be pulled, but fully automatic fire is not possible.   22 cal. blank-fire – [$ 95.13]

 

 

    K60-6 - AK-47-DESTROYED - Just for fun, as though it has been run over by a tank (for a production of Afghan Women). prop – [$ 23.00]

 

 

   K90 - M-16 Blank-Fire - Designed in 1958, it was first issued to US forces in Vietnam in 1966, and has been the standard American military rifle ever since, but still rather infamous for its tendency to jam in critical situations.  Just as with all of the firing replicas we carry, this specimen can fire in semi-automatic mode up to nine shots as quickly as the trigger can be pulled, but fully automatic fire is not possible. .. and we only have one of these. [We have discontinued all non-firing M-16's from our stock]            22 cal. blank-fire – [$ 101.25]

 

 

    K80 - TYPE 47 - LIGHT INFANTRY Blank-Fire -semi-auto - 9 shots -   22 cal. blank-fire – [$ 95.75]

 

 

    K65 - HMG Anti-Personnel Machine Gun - is 43" in length. Two starter pistols inside provide semi-auto fire. This is a generic fantasy piece. You won’t find it in any firearms catalogue, but then again it can fit a wider time line. Comes with either a lay-down tri-pod which raises the gun to 18", or a kneeling tri-pod which can bring the gun up to 4 feet high.

  22 cal. blank-fire or prop –with cartridge belt and box [$ 182.11] ; if just the gun and stand [$ 149.71]

 

 

    K67 - HOTCHKISS Machine Gun - is 49" in length. This is a heavy piece to hold but sure has a "Rambo"- like look.    prop only – [$ 79.00]

 

 

    K75 - BULL PUP LA-85 - a British Army design. Cannot be used with straps.  We only have one of these left. prop/fragile – [$ 40.00]   [want to buy it instead?  We're selling it for only $99 !!   follow this link - the Attic ]

 

 

    K76 - IRAQ -  Moving the ammo clip to behind the grip means that it has the long barrel of the M16 with the short overall length of the UZI. The infantry weapon of the future.  Cannot be used with straps.    prop/fragile – [$ 46.00]

 

 

    K72-5 – INGRAHM (MAC) 12 (fantasy) – [we only have one of the these] just a lot of fun and it even fires blanks. –  22 cal. blank-fire –[58.20]
