Made of metal and wood. CAN NOT BE SHIPPED OUTSIDE OF THE U.S. OR TO CALIFORNIA. Sorry, just had to get that out of the way because people usually don't read past the first sentence. Anyway, this has been doctored up by me to be a later war un-marked M24, and is pretty good for display/reenacting. I had also put sand in the head for correct weight, which will remain. This was used on the set of Reveille, the movie we made a few years back, so it's not only a cool piece, but a cool souvenir from the film.
