You know I've always wanted a BAR, as one of my Grandfathers was a BAR man in WWII (fortunately it was in '45 when we had Germany on its heels, as BAR men didn't usually last long in combat). I'm not sure I want that gun though. It looks like someone tried to figure out just how much "tacti-cool-ness" they could try to cram on a rifle with otherwise very classic lines.
This fellow was sitting on the shelf just below the “modernized” BAR. Either way it was 30-06 goodness.
On a side note, the “modernized” BAR had very little in common with the original. The receiver was a highly modified BAR receiver that had all the “fat” removed and it took standard BAR magazines but that is where the similarities ended. The “modernized” BAR had totally redesigned gas system, buffer system, barrel, bolt, and mag release. It was several pounds lighter than the original and the rep stated that the recoil was more mild.
