The Film, the Story, and the Man

Like any reasonably minded person, we're huge fans of Clint Eastwood's film, ‘American Sniper.' And if you haven't already read Chris Kyle's incredible autobiography which inspired the film, drop everything you are doing and GET IT NOW.

After you've read it, come back here to meet the gents from Independent Studio Services, the massive prop warehouse in L.A. which supplied the firearms used in the movie (as well as literally hundreds of other great films). This includes the Remington 700 Custom and the SR-25 from Knight's Armament.

The Rifles

You can see here the complete list of the firearms used in the film. Some of the more familiar rifles are the M24 Sniper Rifle and the M40 Sniper Rifle.

You can say every gun enthusiast got a treat for the interesting lineup of firearms in the film. It definitely showcased some of the best long-range sniper rifles.

Karl Weschta from ISS goes over each in detail, giving you inside knowledge both in the specific firearms Kyle used in his tours, as well as the incredible work which went into creating exact prop replicas of his own personal firearms.
