A friend of mine has this-He got it from a guy that said it was from "Saving Private Ryan" and also had solid resin M-1 Garands.Anyhow dont know of the veracity of the story but it was molded off a S/42 1938 mis matched but has some kind of British proof on barrel and receiver.Front sight was not cut later for hood.Most of the SN's and Wa's came thru in the mold process-even on the bands.Trigger was broken off.He later said he wished he would have bought one of the M-1s also.From a distance it passes as a real one-and in movies where you have a lot of guy trapiseing around it has to be cheaper and safer than handing the real thing out.I have not seen either 98K or M-1 for sale,He bought it at a gun show in MI.
