I'll pay someone $50 to shoot a box of shells through it when it arrives to them. I'll even bring my own shells

[Rutger]

What's it chambered in?

What's it chambered in?

.30-06 just like the full auto version.

I have already submitted a request for an import permit to see if I can bring in one of the OOW receiver kits, since I already have most of the BAR parts.

Well that didn' take long at all. Received confirmation of my IIC approval today.

hey!

lol....


Anyway, coming from a Russian experience, can this be belt-fed like RPK etc?

RPK is an AK with longer, heavier bbl, folding bipod, and different stock. It is not belt fed. You may be thinking of an RPD which is a completely different design.

Wow, this looks nice but it's too pricey for my wallet. I can't justify spending that much on a replica BAR when the original rifle is honestly not that hard to find. For a FG 42 or MP 44? Sure, I'll fork over $3-4k. Not for a BAR though...

I really wouldn't classify it as a replica. Most of the parts used in the A3 are original A2 BAR parts. The recieve is the main newly mfg'd part. Alot of the semi only parts are modified original parts. Also, unless you have 12(2) or 12(3) on your PAL you couldn't buy an original BAR. I do agree it is alot of money, especially since we can only have 5 rds. If I didn't already have most of the BAR parts I wouldn't even be considering dropping the $2,000 on the reciever kit.

What I meant by the ease of finding a BAR, is that they are available in Canada and the US, considering the number of them made. We may not be licensed to own them, but they are around. On the other hand, weapons like the MP 44 and FG 42 were produced on such a small quantity, replicas are worth more simply because there is no chance of us ever owning originals (say if one day we are allowed a true "collectors" license) without taking out a mortgage.

[Beezer]

Well hopefully one day we can find a government with balls so we can get rid of all the mag capacity BS and prohib nonsense and get back to the way it was before C-68. I know we will never get to the point where we can have full-autos but banning a gun since it use to be full-auto or it fires from an open bolt is just nonsense. BAR parts are not cheap and not as easy to find as one might think. I spent quite awhile trying to locate a complete buffer assembly. I was just lucky enough to find one overseas. An original barrel will run you around $400-500 dollars in new condition. Before C-68 ever came to see the light if day, I had a chance to buy a converted BAR for under $900. I am still pissed at myself for not buying it, even though I would not be able to shoot it today.

[Travis Bickle]

That is a thing of beauty!

The price is almost full retard though.

There must be some rich firearms enthusiasts in this country man.

Who the hell can afford dropping $6000 on a rifle!? Insane.

If only I had tried a little harder lol
