Nyles is pretty much correct. But it's also due to ignorance about real world guns vs. movie guns. You know, like the same people who think that any time you see an FBI Agent carrying a Glock in a movie, it must be a Glock 22 because that's what the FBI carries in real life. Likewise, if you explain to the average IMFDB reader that there aren't very many genuine mil-spec M24s or M40s in private hands, they'd probably fail to understand. I remember reading that an interview with Rock Galotti where he specifically said that the M40s used in "Jarhead" had to be custom-built for the movie (from regular 700s).
Also, can somebody take a look at the "Green Zone" page and tell me what differences are evident between the Remington 700 used by the MET-D sniper and a real M24?
