They used a Henry AR-7 in a James Bond Movie? That looks like a nice vintage one.

Thanks! My rifle is an Armalite AR-7 made in Costa Mesa. It is the early model with the solid brown stock exactly as used in the film. The AR-7 was later made by Charter Arms and a few other companies and is now made by Henry. Even though they look somewhat similar, there are changes between all the others made by different companies. The ONLY one to get , if you want it screen accurate, is the one I have.

What caliber is yours?
Did you know they original was built in1959 as a survival rifle for air force pilots, it was used in Viet Nam and it was adopted by the Israeli air force in the 1980s I believe the originals were a 22 super hornet. I have the newer Henry AR7 and its a 22LR, cool to have something that folds up so small. You can carry 3 preloaded 10 round Mags inside the stock and it al snaps up watertight and floats. I have flute case for mine which fits an additional 450 rounds in the front pocket and everything zips up into a little package about 18" long. It also has integrated rails and a 4x scope.
Add a silencer and it makes the ultimate James Bond Movie Assassins Weapon!

the Armalite surely is not common and will be expensive, I see one on Gunbroker now the bidding at $500 with 3 days to go.
but the henry is easy you should be able to find one for under $300
The scope will probably be impossible and to get a suppressor now a days you have to file for a $200 NFA tax stamp. register it with the Gov and wait over a year for approval. But its worth the wait, If you use lower velocity ammo or sub sonics, all you here is a little puff and the clicking of the action moving.

Not a knife but another COOL prop from the premiere Bond film 'Dr. No'
The Universal Exports sign, as seen in 'Dr. No', when we first see Bond enter the undercover MI6 Offices.
The sign is printed on a vinyl sheet attached to an aluminum plate. A plastic backing is on the rear for stability.
It measures 22 1/2 inches long and 8 1/2 inches high.
A perfect addition to the doorway to your collection.

Just picked up this book entitled "007 THE ARMOURY"
This is an 8 ½ x 11 ½ 153-page VERY high quality square-bound book printed on museum quality glossy paper stock with a soft-touch cover.
The compilation of reference on the firearms and other weapons was years in the making and features many ‘Never before seen’ photographs.
Often, in the films, we catch a quick glimpse of some weapon without clearly seeing the details. This book solves that problem due to the high level of detail and information on each of the firearms…which is jaw-dropping!!
As you see in the sample pages, each weapon is isolated on a clean blue background for ease in viewing.
Additionally, the photos are not stock photos of guns…they are the ACTUAL gun props used in the films.
You will not find a more comprehensive guide to the guns used by our favorite ‘Gentleman Spy.”
I highly recommend this book as It will be a welcome addition to your library as well as a fabulous reference guide.
