Quick Look

The Browning Automatic Rifle, better known as the BAR, was introduced in 1918 as a fighting rifle for U.S. troops. It built a reputation for power, durability, and controllable semi-automatic fire in a full-size hunting and sporting platform. Today, the BAR remains a respected classic for collectors and hunters who value proven design, strong materials, and Browning's long-standing name in firearms.
