I'm supposed to stay out of BARS!

[cwo4uscgret]

Just traded into a NIB OOW M1918A3 BAR. Two magazines loaded, will hit the range during the week. Its a heavy gun - but you all know that!





I also (in addition to some cash) got this Colt Single Action Army, chambered in .44 Russian and .44 Special:

Thanks Hawk! I’ll probably be the envy of all the boys and girls at the range this week!

Sweet !

Of course the BAR is everyone's favorite and so fun to shoot ! Got to rip off a few mags in I.T.R. for familiarization right before Nam.

When he lays down on the job . . . I'll pick it up . . .

I was BAR man on our landing party on my last ship . . . didn't have to use it . . . but I planned on it being worthwhile if I did have to.

May God bless,

Love the BAR and the Colt.

Knew a guy with a FFL manufacturing license. He had a club with a 300 yard range. He had a lot of class III stuff and if you bought his ammo, he'd let you shoot it.

I put 3 mags thru his BAR off the bipod. That was sweet. Think it was the 2nd model and had the slower full auto rate.

I believe the Marine had their BAR's converted to fire at a slower rate (450 rounds pm) then the other service branches.
