Grooved handguard clip and single slot gas cylinder lock screws...probably nice early M1s. With the lock bar rear sights, wonder if they're Winchesters? Second pic left rifle has wide front sight ears like Winchester. Can't see the other too well.

the only thing that does not look like WRA is Tony's front sight. Throughout the film, he has the slant cut op rod rifle.
