Have you ever had that one rifle you wanted ever since you were a kid.Well for me it was the 1918 BAR,AND in 1998 my dream sort of came true.OHIO Ord, was making the semi auto version of the WWII BAR well I put all my pennies together,and picked one up.I love the gun,and it's a lot of fun to shoot,but I still have the early 1918 in my head.Well OHIO Ord, just came out with a copy of the Colt 1918 BAR,ok I have to have one.Well the price tag is $8000.00 are they F%^king nuts! So the more I look at the gun (a light goes on in my head,dim but on) the receiver,and barrel on the Colt copy,and mine are the same.So it's conversion time here is a picture of what my rifle looked like,what it looks like now,and what it's going to look like.I am looking at around $1500 by the time I am done,but it will be a long time dream come true.All I have left to do is clip the ears on the trigger pack,and blue the gun.I also have to replace the rear sight with an early one,but those are a little tuff to find,and I can live with it till I find one.
