Be Your Own Legend with Will Smith’s M4 Prop Rifle

April 16th, 2008 by BallerHouse

Up for sale on PropStore is the M4 Rifle used by Will Smith’s character Dr. Robert Neville in I Am Legend.  While the movie isn’t any good, the rifle is a pretty bad ass prop that would make a cool addition to any collection.

The highly-customized M4 rifle, that never leaves Neville’s side in the movie, is a hero metal non-firing version of an M4 rifle with real M4 rifle parts. It is not capable of chambering or firing ammunition, and as such could be used by Will Smith without an armor on set. Everything that would function on a real M4 functions on this 8-pound replica: the retractable stock, removable magazine, working switches, charging handle, scope, and sling.  The surefire flashlight and laser on the forearm are also both practical, and functional. The light and laser unit can be removed from the forearm and swapped to the other side, and it’s seen in both positions throughout the film.

The rifle comes with proof of authenticity and is available for $8,999.
