Browning BAR working model.

If you’re going to the chantilly gun show today-Sunday, stop by our tables and see the working model BAR that we have on consignment for the weekend. It’s twice as large and beautiful. Sold!

Cash and carry?

Cash and carry?

You bet!!

This will be the only machine gun that you can legally do that with.

Is that the one that used to be in the US Patent Office? Always thought it was cool when I saw it up on the shelf in a file room.

No idea. It’s all metal including the stock (some had wood stocks I’ve been told). It has the original carrying box too. Would look great in a man cave.

I bought if 7-8 years ago. The previous owner said he bought it at a government auction close to 20 years prior to selling it to me. He did not specify where the auction was or which government agency was selling it off.
I know that is not much info to go off of but, that is all of the background that I know about it.

It has received lots of attention at the show and many, many conversations/ pictures. So far no takers for their man caves, but most said they would mount it on their trucks if they could afford it.

It is a great conversation starter! Hopefully the right person sees it and has to have it.
