hahahaha. The wording is funny when you say it outloud....

Gunmaster45 is interested in Speed and working on Crank .... sounds like a substance abuse problem to me! hahahahahaha.

It was a originally a stembridge gun. LMO got all of their guns from Stembridge. I can see if the guys have a good pic of it.

You should get some help, man. lol

Regarding Crank, does anyone else have doubts as to the term "Mark I Desert Eagle?" I've checked and found that such a model exists, but no pictures, and frankly it looks like a Mark VII or XIX instead. Any comments?

There's not much visual difference between the Mark I and Mark VII. Here's a picture of one that was posted to Wikipedia:



You can tell it apart by the shape of the safety and slide catch. Also, Wikipedia doesn't mention this, but I believe the frame shape is a bit different too (the "belly" of the Mark I looks a bit narrower than that of the Mark VII).

The MP5K came from Ellis Mercantile not Stembridge Gun Rentals. It was a SP89 converted to an MP5k by La France Specialties. I was the gunsmith at Ellis and we did all the guns for that show. I had the MP5K satin nickel for Speed as they wanted a stainless looking smg.

Please add as much info to it on the page as you want. Nothing is better than having someone who worked on the gun comment on it.

Wait, so I'm confused...was the SP89 from Ellis or was it from Stembridge? Or did Syd Stembridge work as the on-set armorer and simply rent the guns from Ellis?

The MP5K/SP89 came from Ellis Mercantile and the weapons handler for that was Lance Larson. I am not sure if Syd was even there but I can find out. But as far as I know Lance was the on set Armorer for any of the NFA weapons. The property master and her crew handled the handguns.

One more weapon that I forgot about was the sniper rifle. I built that at Ellis the rifle started out as a pre-64 Winchester Model 70. I had it re-barreled as I prepped the new Kevlar stock. It was then bedded action removed and blacken as the barrel was stainless. I then painted the stock to match a reference photo from LAPD Metro's rifle.
