planet of the apes rifle?

[Curtton]

yeah, it does look alittle like a planet of the apes rifle but no, its a SKS in a .45 blowback.

our members have done a SKS in 303 and 223 but i dont think i heard of a .45 before.

saw this at another forum (see below).

The Planet of the apes rifle was an M1 Carbine in a plastic shell.

Chuck is holding an ape infantry rifle which is a gussied up M-1 Carbine.

Edit; Colinjw beat me to it.

You guys have no sense of humor at all. curtton was only implying his rifle had the same gerneral appearance. Not that it was a carbon copy.

That is a very interesting combination by the way. I was thinking of doing something similar in 357 magnum, or maybe even 45 long colt. The action, is just about the right size and plenty strong enough, even for the stoutest loads. Lots of fiddling with the bolt face and extractor though.

the gas block appears to be that of a yugo model sks and shortened 'gas' tube with out wood upper handguard. cool but odd looking.

I just had to share my knowledge of the M1 Carbine that was used in the movie.
I know because that is NOT Charlton Heston holding the gun. He was sick that day & as his standin I took over for the photo shoot.

BTW. That loin cloth made me itch.

"Get your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!" Classic!

I'm having bad thoughts. Apart from Charlton's Brazilian fail.
Mostly about an SKS with Mech-Tech parts.

I would love to have a .45ACP SKS that took 1911 magazines. That would be so awesome.

That room has nothing to do with Charlton Heston.
