(TriStar Pictures, 1997) This hero, live firing Morita rifle, documented as having been used by "Private Ace Levy", played by Jake Busey, contains the still functioning Ruger Mini 14 rifle and an Ithaca 37 pump action shotgun. The rifle remains in its original, firing and completely working condition and still has some of the green bug guts on the front outer portion of the fiberglass shell. This particular rifle's serial number is tied directly to having been used by Jake Busey extensively throughout the production and is an awesome example of some of the finest film production weapons ever made. Accompanied by its original sling, the rarely seen working external safety mechanism and its original Morita magazine this makes for one amazing display piece. Additionally, having been identified by Jake Busey himself as well as the film's armorer, it's one of the last remaining examples of what makes Starship Troopers such an amazing success. Additional parts and hardware accompany the rifle which includes a serialized plaque and transport case. The rifle measures 41" x 12" x 3". Along with our ScreenUsed COA, this item comes with a letter stating this gun was used by Jake Busey in the film, signed by the weapons coordinator.
Since this is a real firearm, it is only for sale to customers in the US. It is located in the state of Florida and can be transferred from the current Florida firearms dealer who has it in storage to a dealer near your location. There will be transfer and shipping fees involved, however we will assist you with a smooth and easy transfer. Please note that some states will not allow the live firing shotgun housed inside of the Morita, though we can provide the original insert instead. Please contact us before bidding to discuss your specifics. Please inquire for more information prior to bidding.

1. Opening Bid Prices: Our ScreenUsed auctions do not use estimate pricing, only a starting minimum bid price. Opening bids do not include the buyer’s premium, shipping, or sales tax.
2. Reserves: Our ScreenUsed auctions do not use reserves, so the opening price is where bidding starts, and the highest bidder will win the item.
3. Buyer’s Premium and Sales Tax: The actual purchase price will be the sum of the final bid price plus the buyer’s premium of 20% of the hammer price. California and Florida sales tax shall automatically be added to the purchase price for CA and FL residents, unless exempted.

The auctioneer will accept bids from those present in the salesroom or absentee bidders participating by telephone, Internet or by written bid left with ScreenUsed in advance of the auction. The auctioneer has the right in its absolute discretion to reject any bid in the event of dispute between bidders or if the auctioneer has doubt as to the validity of any bid, to advance the bidding at its absolute discretion and to determine the successful bidder in the event of a dispute between bidders, to continue the bidding or to reoffer and resell the lot in question. In the event of a dispute after the sale, ScreenUsed’s record of final sale shall be conclusive.
