The square fore-end on Preest's rifle suggests an earlier (1960s) example. Though described (albeit speculatively) by Tarrant as Preest's 'service weapon', this is not a military weapon but rather a civilian hunting or target rifle (the only Parker-Hale rifle ever adopted by UK forces is the L81 Cadet Target Rifle). | The square fore-end on Preest's rifle suggests an earlier (1960s) example.

The following guns were used in the movie Franklyn (2008)
Armsel Protecta
The Meantime City police are armed with Armsel Protecta revolving shotguns, carried across the small of the back in a custom rig of some sort. These weapons have had their folding stocks removed, muzzles modified, and decoration applied to their ammunition drums.
AK-based Sniper Rifle
As the masked vigilante, Jonathan Preest's sniper rifle is a fantasy weapon based upon an AKM, AK-74 or AK-100 series receiver (note the two staggered pins behind the change lever) with custom stock, fore-end, scope-mount, scope, suppressor, and a pistol grip that is suggestive of an air or gas bulb...
Parker-Hale Sniper Rifle
...whereas in the 'real' world, it's a Parker-Hale 1200 series rifle with short barrel, telescopic sight and no iron sights.
The square fore-end on Preest's rifle suggests an earlier (1960s) example. Though described (albeit speculatively) by Tarrant as Preest's 'service weapon', this is not a military weapon but rather a civilian hunting or target rifle (the only Parker-Hale rifle ever adopted by UK forces is the L81 Cadet Target Rifle).
