Default Interesting Article on ScarFace's M203 combo

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/new...d-story-874414

Quote:
Still, after Scarface wrapped, the fake M203s were sold off to Stembridge Gun Rentals, an armory that supplies weapons to Hollywood productions. "I didn't want it because I didn't want to have a problem with the ATF or anybody! It was easier just to get it out of my possession," says Zemansky.

Stembridge rented out Tony's "Little Friend" to other films and TV shows over the years. Most notably, it appeared in Clint Eastwood's Heartbreak Ridge (1986) and John McTiernan's 1987 action classic Predator, where Arnold Schwarzenegger himself toted it in several scenes. It even appears on the one-sheet.

Stembridge Gun Rentals' Syd Stembridge says he no longer has any of the Scarface M203s in his collection, but one of the launchers sold at auction in November (attached to a replica AR-15) for $54,400. A big number for a little friend.
Good thing I had a chance to photograph several (remember that you don't make just ONE, you make several as backups on the set just in case the primary one fails or breaks) of his fake M203 launchers before they were auctioned off to private collectors.

The barrel diameter is 39mm, so there shouldn't be any issues with the ATF over it, right?

Whether something is legal or not has never stopped the ATF from dicking with people before
