Note other lots in the auction may close on June 30th or July 1st. Robert Neville's (Will Smith) hero blank-firing M4 rifle from Francis Lawrence's sci-fi action thriller I Am Legend. The apparent sole survivor of a virus that transformed humanity into vampire-like zombies known as Darkseekers, Neville carried his M4 rifle throughout the film. The M4 rifle is a genuine Colt firearm in 5.56mm, a semi-automatic civilian version that was modified to fire full-auto for the film and subsequently returned to its original semi-auto state (the changes are to internal components.) The rifle was also modified to fire blanks for the film. As a real firearm, all components are fully functional including the retractable stock, removable magazine, and working switches. The scope is a practical unit with glass optics, and the Surefire flashlight and laser unit mounted to the forearm are practical. The forearm is seen mounted on both sides of the rifle in the film, so it was changed during production. This piece was one of two M4 rifles rented to the production and includes a copy of the rental invoice. As it has been modified to fire blanks for the film industry, the rifle is no longer capable of firing real ammunition and is sold as a collectible item only. The piece is still technically a firearm and thus must be transferred through an FFL dealer to a state where ownership is legal; export to foreign countries may be possible if the rifle is deactivated; please inquire for specific transfer details regardless of location.
