Item Description: Translate description
According to Browning's serial number production chart, this BAR-22 semi-automatic rifle was produced in 1978. SPECS: Glossed walnut stock with outlined checkering & fluted comb, black textured buttpad with embossed "BROWNING", polished blued barrel & receiver finish, 20" barrel with recessed target crown, dovetailed folding leaf rear sight, dovetailed ramp front sight with brass bead, sling studs, tube-fed magazine and Bushnell 4x Banner scope. CONDITION: This rifle is in nice condition with a few light scuffs in the wood, has a sharp/ clean bore and appears to be in good working order. HISTORY: The Browning BAR is one of those key products which have defined the Browning mystique throughout the last century. Much of the fame of today's sporting BAR began through the fame of the original military BAR designed by John M. Browning near the end of World War I. This rifle, called the BAR M1918, was commissioned by the U.S. Army in an effort to break the stalemate of trench warfare in the battlefields of France and Belgium. It is considered one of the first, and certainly one of the most effective, of all the automatic centerfire "light machine guns" ever made. Introduced in 1967, the Browning BAR semi-automatic sporting version is certainly a distinct and separate rifle from the military BAR M1918, but its design is the result of Browning's unmatched understanding and expertise with automatic rifles that started with John M. Browning. His grandson, Bruce Browning, was the driving force behind today's BAR. The BAR has evolved slightly for over four decades. Rifles before 1976 are usually called Type 1 rifles. Between 1976 and 1992, they are often called Type 2 rifles, but these rifles are very similar to the original models. The .22 caliber variant "BAR-22" was produced from 1977-1985.
