The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

It's initially described as the "M240A1 flamethrower" in the Technical manual, and then the abbreviated 'M240' after that. Both would seem acceptable, although for your purposes, the former would seem more appropriate.

I bought some cheap swivels from Wal-Mart. I can't remember the name, but they were for rifles/shotguns with a wooden stock and fore-end. They have two quick-release swivels and two screws -1 long, 1 short- in each pack. The short one is about half the length as the photo. I bought two packs and used the short ones. Just drill a hole, put some JB Weld on the threads and screw them in. I've never had a problem with mine yet, and my flamer weighs about 6 lbs.

Hey all,

I'm lucky enough to be the owner of the first fully weathered buildup of Morgan13's superb new flamethrower replica. Shawn is a fantastic guy and consulted with me at every level of the paintjob and weathering process. We decided to go with authenticity, and it was his first time with the dreaded Bess Brown. As you can see, he has done a fantastic job!
