"Brain picking"

Yes, the actual M16/M203 used in the movie Scarface.

The M203 is actually a 37mm flare launcher, but that was typical for Hollywood back in that era, when real M203 were not readily available.

Wow,......I misunderstood (as usual). I thought that your friend owns M203 (any, run of the mill M203!). He actually has the movie prop!? Any documentation with it? Any provenance? I know the one in the movie was a 37mm flare launcher (back in the 80s one could buy as many one would want in SGN).
I used to read SGN like some people read classic literature.
