Ohio Ordinance has made a block that attaches to the back of the receiver that allows for use of a mil-spec AR stock. This and other changes take a good bit of weight off the rifle. A WWII era BAR weighed in around 19lbs. This one is closer to 14 pounds.<br \/>\nThis new heavy rifle will shoot 1 MOA, and has an effective range out to 1,200 yards. While we haven\u2019t shot it yet, the rifle does feel steady. The extra weight helps cut down on the shake that comes with some skinny plastic hunting guns.<a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord07.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ohio-ordnance-bar-a-modern-twist-on-a-timeless-classic-shot-show-2014\" title=\"Ohio Ordnance BAR: A Modern Twist on a Timeless Classic\u2014SHOT Show 2014\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Ohio Ordnance BAR: A Modern Twist on a Timeless Classic\u2014SHOT Show 2014\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-17738\" alt=\"ohio ord07\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord07-400x130.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord07-400x130.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord07-150x49.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord07-1024x334.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord07.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They have also redesigned the BAR magazine to hold 30 rounds instead of 20. This keeps the rifles competitive in a world of standard capacity magazines, and gives the gun a bit of an edge over some other .30 cals. The new mags will work in original full and semi auto versions of the BAR, too, and are selling for $60.<br \/>\nOhio Ordnance will be taking orders in March and hope to ship in May. The estimated price for the new BAR is $3,700.<\/p>\n<a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord05.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ohio-ordnance-bar-a-modern-twist-on-a-timeless-classic-shot-show-2014\" title=\"Ohio Ordnance BAR: A Modern Twist on a Timeless Classic\u2014SHOT Show 2014\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Ohio Ordnance BAR: A Modern Twist on a Timeless Classic\u2014SHOT Show 2014\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-17743\" alt=\"ohio ord05\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord05-400x231.jpg\" width=\"264\" height=\"153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord05-400x231.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord05-150x86.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord05-1024x592.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord05.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 264px) 100vw, 264px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord04.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ohio-ordnance-bar-a-modern-twist-on-a-timeless-classic-shot-show-2014\" title=\"Ohio Ordnance BAR: A Modern Twist on a Timeless Classic\u2014SHOT Show 2014\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Ohio Ordnance BAR: A Modern Twist on a Timeless Classic\u2014SHOT Show 2014\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-17742\" alt=\"ohio ord04\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord04-400x209.jpg\" width=\"280\" height=\"146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord04-400x209.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord04-150x78.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord04-1024x535.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord04.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord03.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ohio-ordnance-bar-a-modern-twist-on-a-timeless-classic-shot-show-2014\" title=\"Ohio Ordnance BAR: A Modern Twist on a Timeless Classic\u2014SHOT Show 2014\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Ohio Ordnance BAR: A Modern Twist on a Timeless Classic\u2014SHOT Show 2014\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-17741\" alt=\"ohio ord03\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord03-400x222.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord03-400x222.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord03-150x83.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord03-1024x570.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord03.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord02.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ohio-ordnance-bar-a-modern-twist-on-a-timeless-classic-shot-show-2014\" title=\"Ohio Ordnance BAR: A Modern Twist on a Timeless Classic\u2014SHOT Show 2014\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Ohio Ordnance BAR: A Modern Twist on a Timeless Classic\u2014SHOT Show 2014\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-17740\" alt=\"ohio ord02\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord02-400x253.jpg\" width=\"280\" height=\"177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord02-400x253.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord02-150x94.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord02-1024x647.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ohio-ord02.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Browning Automatic Rifle is a beast of a gun.
