Just picked up bar from b&k sales. Get more pics after I put it all together.
almost took it out for my own "battle of bulge" day at range, but that would entail loading up almost everything I got, which im too lazy to do today lol
Spoke with my friend who does the military rifle shoots at Sippican and he said he wants to resume them in a few months. You MUST come down with some toys and hang out with us one Sunday.![[grin]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/041.gif "Grin [grin]")
1897 trenchgun (norinco copy)
Going to Franklin tomorrow to pick up #3, then still got 6 more to come in coming month. Feel like a kid in candy store.
Excuse my ignorance, but because that's an 1897 copy, is it even a "firearm" as far as the ATF is concerned?
Yes it is.
Nice I'd def like to go. As for what I'd bring, would be last min decision

What does BAR stand for? Bad Ass Rifle? Sounds good to me. Enjoyed the video.. thanks for posting.
Browning Automatic Rifle (M-1918A2). got to love a gun thats so heavy, that the recoil of a 30-06 round is nothing on rapid fire lol

I know... I should have put an emoticon to show I was joking. : ) But I like my version better. I first learned about the BAR when I was in the 4th grade and took out a book on the history of the Marine Corps. It had a story, I believe a Medal of Honour winner, who cleared a hill of Chinese with his BAR. That book might have been the beginning of my interest in milsurps.

Where can one get the 1897 trench gun. And the cost for original vs a repro? I would love one
Originals go for $2500-3500. Norinco stopped making the repros a couple years ago. They still pop up on gunbroker, guns America gunshows ect from time to time for 400-500
Vet bringback all matching non import or RC byf 41 luger I picked up for $1200
And first pics of my refinished 1918 made m1903 Springfield that's on it's way back here today

Very nice addition!
Also the fact it started out as a box of unassembled parts
