Came across a thunder 5 demo cutout, along with its earlier prototype the spectre 5. They are in ok condition with th  demo showing some cast flaws. I also have a parts kit to go along with them. Wondering if anyone on here would know the value of these. I know sometimes the cutouts are actually worth more than the real gun. They are from th  Mil. Inc. Piney Pennsylvania company, and were made from around 1993-1998 when they closed up shop.

Damn.....no ideas huh? I did find out the maker of these might have been part of the group that designed the USAS-12. Not positive on that part yet.

I see the Thunder-5 occasionally pop up at gun shows from $250 - $500. Lower than $350 they don't stick around too long.
Cut outs can go for more than the real thing in many cases. However, some you can't give away. I'm thinking here of an Astra and a Sterling 380 that eventually sold for less than $100 each.
I wouldn't buy a cutout unless I really wanted it and the only 2 I ever came close to buying were  a CZ52 and a CZ75 just as a curio type thing.

Thanks for the reply. Still digging around, and talking to everyone  I meet. A couple people think the Spectre 5 was a newer model that never made production. It is lighter and has a slightly different grip than the thunder 5. Got a couple gun shows coming up next month, so hopefully I can get some  answers
