    Default BAR Browning Automatic Rifle

    so I am an anorak and watch way to much History Channel here is the question who has a BAR Browning Automatic Rifle and when can I see, touch, fondle and shoot this, how much did it cost, where can I get one?
    I also see GREAT potential for a BAR in home defence!!!!!
    I am studying an awesome brand of leg fighting which was inspired by dung beetles and I think my brand of Kraft Manure is superior to all other styles ever invented. Furthermore I challenge all other manurists to a rolling contest where we shall establish whose manure ball is the biggest! I shall call it Honest Kraft Manure and declare it superior to all other brands of manure and will tell you that I have claimed the lineage directly to Imshi the great Dragon Kru Master Beetler who invented manuring, by gathering all manure from different animals together and making it work as the worlds most effective fertilizer. I proved myself by being members of not one but three super elite special gardening departments who were responsible for spreading manure to combat weed infestations!

    the BAR i shot was a 3 shot 270 hunting rifle HEAVY and cumbersome for me

    shoots very accurately though, i give you that.

    but to haul that in the bush , thats another story

    30-06 box fed 20 round chunk 'o metal. Shot one a few times. Love it. I have massive respect for the grunts who had to haul it around. Saves on gym membership. The lads at Camdix might still have a couple floating around.

    They still have WW2 era mags in their wrappers.

    One of God's guns, for sure!

    Interesting story...Ad Topperwein from Winchester shot the BAR at a very big demonstration at West Point for the US Army brass. John Browning attended the demo. Topperwein was one of the best shots who ever lived and Browning was, of course, a legend...here's the story

    There are two BARs, the WW II machine gun and the modern hunting rifle.

    Parow Arms has the one I want, which is of course the former. They sold it to someone else before I got there though. Buggers.

    Looks like this:
