\"This<\/a>

This is a slick looking gun, much more polished than an war-time BAR.<\/p><\/div>\n

Ohio Ordnance<\/a><\/a> has been building the John Browning designed BAR for over 20 years. Colt originally marketed a semi-auto civilian version after The Great War called the SLR (Self Loading Rifle) . Fast forward almost 100 years and Ohio Ordnance and Colt have come together to make a really sexy looking BAR\/SLR.<\/p>\n

The BAR, and its derivatives, never really caught on with civilian shooters. Maybe .30-06 was too expensive. Or maybe the guns were just too big. There’s more steel in a BAR than there is in an F-150. But there are still shooters, like me, who want a BAR, and OOW is filling that demand.<\/p>\n

This new BAR has the Colt prancing pony and looks like it stepped out of the past with the high gloss, deep black bluing and the electric niter blue accents. I am talking the quality of fit and finish you see on vintage Colts.This isn’t the finish you’d expect from a service rifle–it is well done and consistent (which is something, considering how big this thing is).<\/p>\n

Here you go! a Full-sized image. The best we could capture under the circumstances.<\/p><\/div>\n

Even though it is stamped COLT, this rifle is made entirely at the Ohio Ordinance Works facility in Chardon, Ohio. These are only available in a limited run of between 1,000 and 1,500 rifles. They are currently shipping and are OOW can produce about 75 a month. The MSRP is $8,799.<\/p>\n
