Got wood? The BAR MK 3 is a multipurpose 308 Winchester semi-automatic rifle with an 18 fluted barrel and oil finish Grade II Turkish walnut stock. This MK 3 sports a detachable box magazine lightweight alloy receiver with Picatinny rail scope bases and a proven reliable gas piston system. – We dare you to find another 308 Winchester semi-automatic rifle that shoots this well weighs this little and has all of these features at this price… – 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 customizes the BAR design to offer shooters a detachable box magazine with a magazine well instead of the standard hinged floor plate design. – 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. – Action Length: Short Action – Caliber: 308 Win – Barrel Length: 18 – Overall Length: 40 1/8 – Length of Pull: 14 3/8 – Drop at Comb: 5/8 – Drop at Heel: 1 1/8 – Weight: 6 lbs 10 oz – Magazine Capacity: 10 – Twist Rate: 12
