405th - Halo Costumes and Props
Mas­ter wood worker LeeKegan has done it again. He has just revealed his hand carved BR-55 bat­tle rifle. Once the wooden mas­ter was fin­ished, Lee teamed up with Rube to cre­ate the molds. It took Rube a cou­ple tries to get a few of the pieces ready, but after work­ing dili­gently and tediously, he brings the Bat­tle Rifle to the 405th Com­mu­nity. You want to know how it was done? Cruise on into our forums, and ask the crafts­men themselves.

405th is proud to intro­duce another amaz­ing prop, and it is truly a tes­ta­ment to the power of team­work. Glad to have you guys aboard!

If you think that is ridicu­lous, make sure you see his full sized, work­ing Sniper Rifle, which is finished.

Though the scope isnt shown here, it does have a fully night visioned screen as well.

Or check out his fully func­tional (for a prop)  M6C Pis­tol. Genius!

A wooden M6C, with working bolt and trigger. Nice!

    Those are some of the most awe­some things I have seen. Too bad you’re not sell­ing… I’d love to buy one, put a Tipp­mann marker in it, get some Mjolinir armour, and go paint­balling. Sure, any hits would be insta-outs, but that’s how you play SWAT, too.

    A WORKING sniper rifle? You gotta be kid­ding me, lol. What the hell does it fire? Or by work­ing do you mean, as a prop it works, cus all the parts that should move, do move?

    Posted on July 14th, 2009 at 2:32 am

  11. LeeKegan LeeKegan Said,

    All the part that should move, move. The bolt works, Mag comes out and will hold rounds, The scope works plus has night vision.

    This is mas­ter­ful work, I’ve always been inter­ested in wood­work­ing but I can never fig­ure it out beyond the basic cuts. How can you get such spe­cific detail?

    Really cool, 10/10.
