the XMLR3A the rifle used by Snow Job and featured prominently in the Sunbow Cartoon is being developed by Pit Viper Studios
I stumbled onto this discovery in the process of looking for props for my next fanfilm. I have lurked on the tank for years but thought this info was too good to keep to myself. here are the details as provided to me by Pit Viper Studios "I’m putting our estimate at $250 per each rifle. This includes a full package of extras including a working bayonet lug that will mount a standard Army issue bayonet, sling mounts for a rifle sling, and three RAS (rail accessory system) mounts which will allow you to replace the sights, add a scope, flashlight, range-finder or any other piece of stock military hardware in a matter of seconds. Due to pricing issues (we couldn’t find an appropriate set for under $50) the gunsights will be hand-built, not real as previously stated. If you wish to purchase real gunsights, they will be easily replaceable with the RAS mounts. The rifle will be 1 meter long, and be solid cast in black Urethane with no moving parts. I don’t have an estimate on weight yet, but it will be hefty and durable. Also, the surface detail and finish will be much more detailed than the pictures you sent to me. I have kept the original look from the toy, but am giving the kind of finishing detail that you would find on a real world weapon. On screen or in person, these will look and handle like real weapons- not toys.” The only involvement I have in this is that I get to break the news to all the Joe collectors. they do need five pre-orders to get things into production. now if you are interested in one of these shoot me a PM or contact Pit Viper Studios for more info or to place a pre-order. |

I am making an exception to the budget rule as I have always wanted some type of real GIJOE prop, Diamond couldnt get the CC pistol off the ground and it was more expensive than this is, so I think the price is quite reasonable.
