Matt 'Axe' Axelson's (Ben Foster) Stunt Mk. 12 Mod 1 SPR from Peter Berg's 2014 war drama, Lone Survivor. Tasked with capturing or killing the notorious Taliban leader, Ahmad Shah, SEAL Team 10 encounters more than they bargained for during their dangerous mission, Operation Red Wings. Axe can be using this style of firearm throughout the film. The SPR, used by Special Operations Forces, is a heavily modified light designated marksman variation of the M16A2.
Made from foam rubber, this stunt weapon has been painted in a desert camouflage color and has a distance chart taped to the collapsible stock. Cast from an actual Mk. 12, this firearm includes original factory markings embedded on the side of the weapon. This item features numerous accessories built into the firearm including a fore grip, suppressor, AN/PEQ-2 IR designator and a Leupold MR/T scope. Stunt weapons such as this piece are commonly used for distance shots when a hero piece is not needed; they are lighter and therefore easier for the actors to handle. They are also used for stunt sequences in which the actor could possibly fall on the prop and injure themselves if they were holding the hero version.
Axe's rifle features minor wear from production use, including some paint chipping and a tear in the distance chart, however it remains in overall very good condition.
