Maybe this was asked and answered before but I was thinking about this the other day. I know Hollywood has stockpiles of certain things and that they often get rid of certain things after the movie is over.

Where do they get their guns, specifically the older ones, surplus, that aren't in production anymore. Do they have a massive stockpile or do they rent from someone who does.

A "Last of the Samarai" rifle was in my local gun shop for a time. They had paperwork on it. So they aren't keeping all of them.

With my interest growing, I'm planning to dig out my copy of Captain Corelli's Mandolin to see if the rifles are correct, especially for the Italians. I know they try to make the Germanicon, Britishicon and US rifles correct.
