Selling my 1975 Browning BAR in 308.
This rifle is a piece of art of conception, the browning BAR is still here after all these years for a reason!
The rifle features a piston-driven autoloading system and a bolt with seven locking lugs. The receiver which is drilled and tapped for mounting purposes is a one-piece unit made of high-strength steel, except for some variations which feature an aluminum-alloy receiver. Primarily, the rifles were produced in Belgium only; however, that changed in 1977 when a part of the production was moved to Portugal.
There were two BAR versions: the models made before 1976 are called Type 1, and the model made between 1976 and 1992 are known as Type 2. No major distinctions can be noted between the models – different denomination mostly refers to the date of production.
Few superficial cosmetic blemishes but expected from a 50 years old rifle, the bore is still very good
