The same rifle appears on another poster for a similar no-budget action film by the same studio, albeit with a different magazine. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91+NRwnbEaL._RI_.jpg
I believe it's a T2 rifle from Australia.
Yeah, you are spot on! The image you show has the proper STANAG mag but the other posters have some strange ribbed mags, any ideas what could be these? Very obscure gun, never seen it before.

I assume the ribbed magazines either came standard with some T2 rifles or maybe ribbed magazines of this type were available on the civilian market in the late 80s. Not sure.
Apparently the T2 was exported in limited numbers to the US under the name SAR-223, so that's probably how the production company got hold of one of these rifles.
