Tom, if he is who I think he is, had a Galil ARM!

Yup, Sizemore's character had a Galil.
DeNiro and Killmer definitely stole the scene with their CARs, though. |

Not sure on price but this one is a "movie gun" ( adapted to fire blanks) and I know some Class III people own them......this particular Mini-gun was for sale at one time

I want a pair of Sizemore's pants. They must be made of some instant drying space age material.

I thought of that too brouhaha. I seem to always be looking for little things like that. But if you look close you can see the front of his pants are wet when he falls back.

Kindstranger--is it just an FNC or does it have the documentation for the movie use? Is it a short bbl rifle, or standard FNC? Can you give me contact info on the Dealer?
Stubbs--there are only a couple of those for sale (transferable) to civilians. Last time I saw one advertised (I think they said it was the movie gun) about 3 years ago, it was just about $300,000 (not a typo--$300K). AFARR |

Long Mountain Outfitters had it for sale a couple of years ago for $120,000. I think I remember that add for the mini-gun from the movie Predator. Definitely something to drool over. It came with 2 sets of barrels, one for the movie industry to allow it to simulate full auto fire and one set of real barrels to shoot the gun with real ammunition. |

Luck me... I bought an FNC Para about 15 years ago for $450. Last one I saw for sale in Very Good condition was about $2900. The one used in the movie is a little shorter than my 16".
Fun gun, tie the sear back with a twist tie and it is full auto, not that I would ever do that! |

If I'm not mistaken, I think I saw an ad in SGN a while back and the price for the Heat FN was $6500.

The HEAT FNC had a shortened (10-11") barrel.
Sizemore indeed had a DSA FAL with brake in the armored car robbery scene, and a Galil during the bank robbery. -Troy |

$2900 for an FNC is a little much. I have a 16" FNC semi here, and an 18" with a S & H Sear (transfered to my Brother out of state), and they run about $2000 each + the sear (another $1600 + $300 for the 3 rd. burst).
Thanks for the info on the Firing Line. AFARR |

I just called the Firing Lane, and found out it is a Full Auto FNC, has the correct movie documentation--it came from Long Mountain Outfitters, and has the Stembridge (I assume it is Stembridge) letter with it.
$6500 Unfortunately, that's about $2000 above the going rate for a full auto FNC--if I had some spare cash, I would consider it, but I guess not at this point. AFARR |

16 FN CAL blue 223 Precusor to the FNFNC, MINT& Rare! 98% $8,495.00
Not quite an FNC, but its a precursor to it (I found it on subguns [url]http://subguns.biggerhammer.net/nonnfaad.cgi?read=133694[/url]). |

The FN CAL takes proprietary mags (as I understand it), so cannot use AR mags like the FNC can. Kind of a shame to spend $8500 on a gun that you can only have 2 mags for!!
At least with a SIG 550, you can find the mags, even if they are expensive. |

Don't know that much about either, but am familiar with Sig Arms (I own a few of their pistols) and am impressed with the quality of their products. |

A good-condition semi FN-FNC will run you about $2000-$2200.
A SIG 551 will run you about $12K, last I heard. Up to the purchaser to decide if it's $10,000 more gun than an FN-FNC or a pimped-out AR-15. |

I've never been a big fan of the FNC. It was always the rifle in search of a market. They are ugly in person, not exactly high quality in appearance. Roughly finished with the upper (stamped) and lower (machined) looking totally mis-matched.
The rifle never gained a military following and wasn't very popular on the US civilian market either... until the bans. Seems some people had the insight to manufacture a large number of registered sears for the guns so NFA types raced to convert them all. The ugly little spuds which couldn't be sold all of a sudden were worth thousands of dollars. I would much rather have a M16 any day of the week. The full-auto FNC's are usually great performers though... very controllable and comfortable to fire. |
