Apr 25, 2024 · This Belgian beauty took John Browning’s influential BAR design and refined it to a class all its own. While initially based on FN’s licensed Colt Model 1925 copy in 1930, the FN Model D brought some tantalizing upgrades just two years later.

Sep 8, 2010 · The BAR Short Trac is a great rifle. It's basically an FN-FAL made for civilian use with a wood stock on it and prettied up. The FAL was good enough for NATO it should be good enough for you. Though, I don't think that anyone would really notice that much difference in recoil between the 308 short trac and the 30-06 long trac versions.

Feb 9, 2011 · Well, the BAR is basically a FN FAL which is one of the best military rifles to have ever be developed. As good, if not better than the M-14, not to start a debate.
