Bonnie and Clyde ran them.

Clyde preferred his cut down.

Not as a precision weapon, though.

Browning must have made an error in design/production or marketing if the civilian hunting BAR is so lacking in visibility in this forum.

John Moses Browning designed his fist version of the BAR during World War One.
The second version with a higher rate of fire for World War Two.

There have been a few rifles made by others since then.

This takes nothing away from Mr. Browning.

Comment from a knowledgeable source.

Noslack71

These BARs were tested by the army. I still have the info some where and pictures. Testing was done as late as 2000. H***** asked me to look at the thing because it was presented to him as a package for SOTIC for evaluation. It didn't get far because of the heat issues and a non floating barrel forearm system. The one I saw had a can on it and was real squirley after a few shots. Major impact shifts. They were chambered in 300 Mag.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
