[Video] Scott Of Kentucky Ballistics Presents: The Almighty BAR

Scott has a real treat for us today, he just purchased the Ohio Ordnance Works, M1918A3 BAR (Semi-auto version) chambered in 30-06 and he’s going to take it to the range and shoot-up a bunch of stuff. I really am jealous, I’ve always wanted a BAR, but because I’m just a poor writer, it’s a little bit out of my price range.

But I digress, I still like watching somebody else having fun shooting a new gun and so, I won’t begrudge Scott on the purchase of his new toy.

What I will do, is place the info and specs on this baby here for you to go over that come directly from oowinc.com and I’ll place the contact info for Ohio Ordnance Works beneath the video, just incase you want to place an order for yourself.

the end of World War II. Ohio Ordnance Works, Inc.
