Thanks for the great pics.
The BAR is my favorite rifle of all time. I have only had the pleasure of shooting one at full auto a few times,it was great.
I fondly remember going to a early SOF convention in Las Vegas and drooling on a table with 5 of them all lined up.All where WW2 vintage.They where all for sale and marked on the stock LASD. They must have been surplus from the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Dept.The price was $5000 each. One of my major shoulda couda moments.

Speaking of the TV show"Combat".A few months ago,I visited the Franklin Canyon Reservoir in the hills above LA. It is where the studio shot? alot of episodes of that great old show.Good stuff.People had told me you could still find empty 30-06 cases! I didn't.
