I guess I was vaguely aware of this rifle but never paid much attention. It might be a useful rifle in ban states, at least the competition model. So this thing is a modified version of the BAR. Sadly not THAT BAR, the other one. It's the Browning hunting rifle that takes different mags and has an apparently very accurate chrome lined 308 barrel ( fn is good at accurate chrome lined barrels, they used to sell a precision rifle that was chrome lined). The competition one has rails at both ends so you could put irons on it. It is apparently accurate, reliable ( maybe who knows, the bar basis does not inspire confidence ) and about as heavy as a garand, G3 etc. If it was a little lighter it would serve as a big 10/22 that you could hunt with but still use as a fighting rifle. I guess the mags are blued, not parkerized, it is hard to field strip and not threaded, but really who in a free state is going to mess with this rifle? Oh and it's blue  |

I traded for one. Put 250 rnds down range over a couple of weeks to make sure it was the rifle that I didn't like.. then gone. Don't like them and you won't change my mind.
Dead reliable and accurate enough for most uses. But a the AR platform is much more user friendly. |

Aimless, I truly feel for you, stuck behind enemy lines, unable to fly to safety.
Every time you post about a rifle to buy it is like you are at the $1 whore house trying to pick the least worst one of the bunch. May you one day spread your wings and reach the fee states where you can buy a rifle that isn't butt ugly or a mini14. Amen. |

If the blue one had standard military sights, a rail and was black with brown or green furniture I think it might be a decent " standard" rifle

In 2009 those magazines were selling for $100+. Not sure what they cost now, boça they could get expensive again in a panic scare.

FNAR has been around for a while. That just looks like a different variant of it. Winchester had a version of it in mossy oak camo. CDNN blew em out a few years ago for like $800. Should have fent. A guy I used to work with had one. It's heavy and a bitch to take apart, but very accurate.
