Great information. I may have missed this, but I assume these are already auctioned off, correct?

None of my software would open the price list file. Do you know what software that takes?

[21 smoker]

Well it`s good to see Hollywood was good for something...preserving a wonderful NFA collection.. ..interesting when checking the serial numbers..had to double check the Madsens and M/R BARs,mine are right in the mix...can you imagine the commission on all those transactions...Dan Shea gotta be livin` large!...

[full auto 45]

I wonder where some of those are now?

[JimFromFL]

It would be neat if each item came with a documented history of what movies they were used in.

[Bob]

The history was too much work for the folks that rented them. The value was based on the transferability only. See LMO's web site for more info.

[TactAdv]

I know where two items are.........they're close, real close....... ;-)

[Barry]

Is the bottom right M1 a early prototype with a rounded rear sight guard ?

[Ron Mills]

Barry: I don't think so. The one pictured in Frank's book is shorter from front to back. The one in the Ellis pic does look strange. Good eye there, kid (maybe you're not a kid). Hey, maybe they filed it off to make it shoot straighter...wink!

I don't believe so. It appears to be a standard protected sight. The angle of the picture just makes it appear rounder.

[Grey Crow]

Sgt.

The site states that they had sold excess, and that the list can be opened using MS Excel.

Dang, that's a lot of firearms!

[colt1928]

I could knock myself for not buying some more Thompsons in the mid-80's when I had the chance. I ended up buying a couple of MP5's when I didn't know any better because I thought the movie " Die Hard " was cool with all those MP5's blazing away. It kinda sucks now since my interest has been the WWII genre: Thompsons, BARs, etc. that these items will be getting more and more pricey. Looking at those ELLIS / LMOLLC pictures makes me cry!!! Should I get another mortgage to fund my hobby? I wished Santa Claus could have been nice to me!
