GUN FALL 2017
The live portion of this session begins on Tuesday, October 31, 2017.
OUTSTANDING CONDITION GROUP INDUSTRIES MODEL 1918A2 BROWNING AUTOMATIC RIFLE (BAR) MACHINE GUN. (FULLY TRANSFERABLE). GROUP INDUSTRIES 1918A2 BAR 00139 30-06 MODERN; NFA Cal. 30-06. 27″ bbl with flash hider. This is a USGI parts kit with undated NE-7 (New England Arms Co.) marked bbl. Early WW2 Era composite buttstock with flip-up shoulder rest and provision for monopod as well as walnut forearm on a Group Industries registered receiver. The receiver SN is the only serial numbered part, with national stock numbers on magazine and trigger group. This is in the classic 1918A2 configuration, with slow and fast rate automatic fire only (attractive model for Connecticut collectors) with typical flash hider and bipod. It incorporates the most improved and latest style gas regulator nut which can be turned by hand to adjust the size of the aperture, which routes gas to the operating piston. It includes 1 original 20-rnd magazine. This is a National Firearms Act item and requires BATF approval prior to transfer. This item is fully transferable on an ATF Form 3 or 4.
CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine as refinished upon re-manufacture in a gray Parkerized finish on gun parts except for gas regulator, which is mostly devoid of finish. Black enamel finish on bipod only. Mechanics are crisp and positive. Bore is fine with strong rifling. Mostly bright with some darkness in the groove. Browning Automatic Rifles machine guns are always popular at the range and this is a fine opportunity for any Class III enthusiast. The steady thump, thump of the Browning automatic rifle is unmistakable to any who have heard it.
