R1:
The R1 is the only known reproduction of the “Prune Face” rifle. As shown above, the rifle lacks the EPMs (ejector pin marks) found on the originals. Additionally, the end of the barrel is slightly thicker, but the most distinct identifying feature is the absence of the front sight (see above). This reproduction floats when submerged, so it may go unnoticed in many collections.
The following colours are known:
