Browning 031054218 BAR MK 3 DBM (Detachable Box Magazine)
Multipurpose 308 Winchester semi-automatic rifle. Gas-piston design. 18" hammer-forged barrel. Detachable box magazine fed. Picatinny rail scope bases. Lightweight alloy receiver and composite stock.
The roots of the Browning BAR run deep - going back to John M. Browning's first design for the U.S. military during the First World War. The sporting BAR's contemporary design offers shooters and hunters a lightweight semi-automatic rifle with refinements not present in the most popular modern sporting rifles, including a gas-piston design.
The BAR MK 3 DBM is a variation of the BAR design offering shooters a detachable box magazine with a magazine well instead of the standard hinged floor plate design. The DBM model also comes with QD swivel cups (QD sling swivels included), 1913 Picatinny rail scope bases, and an 18" hammer-forged barrel (an optimal length for a multipurpose rifle chambered in the venerable 308 Winchester cartridge).
- Accuracy -- Browning rifles consistently produce the most accurate shot groups in their class. This is due in large part to the quality of their barrels. The BAR is built around a hammer-forged barrel made in a thoroughly controlled and tested process.
- Function -- The BAR relies on a gas piston design to operate its lightweight action. The gas piston design mitigates shooter-perceived recoil and reduces excessive carbon residue that other modern gas-impingement designs vent into the moving parts of the action. Like most modern sporting rifles, the BAR utilizes a multi-lug rotary bolt - a component that allows for a lightweight alloy receiver.
- Feel -- The BAR MK 3 feels and handles like the purpose-built hunting rifle it is - lightweight, quick to shoulder and point. Add in the benefits of a well-designed semi-automatic, and you get quick follow-up shots and less perceived recoil than with your standard bolt-action hunting rifles.
