I finally got one! It weighs a ton, and I haven't taken it to the range yet because it's raining (AGAIN!) Hopefully I'll make it tomorrow.

SWEEEETTTT!!!!!
Who makes it, and what did you pay if you dont mind me asking. If I could have any two guns in the entire world, this would be second only to an mg42

Thats about the nicest rifle I've yet seen posted. Is it semi? No matter I too want one if less than $3000
It's made bu Ohio Ordnance and is SA not FA. It sells for $3,800.00 with the wood buttstock, roughly 10% of the FA price.

Lately I've seen the BARs hovering between $21 and $25K. But a NIB will probably bring close to $30K.
wow, you just made this EBR/Plastic Pistol guy become horrible jealous will all of those pictures.

But yeah...we're all totally jealous of you for that rifle (and the rest of the collection).

I fished with one of my Dad's buddies who was in the infantry in WWII. He spoke highly of them, and claimed they were still in use in WWII.
He told stories of how brick/concrete buildings were cleared of germans. Soldiers would gain access to a the building by having BARs, loaded with .30-06 AP, simply shoot holes, through 6-8" concrete walls, and sending folks in through the holes, as alternative entry points.
I like AR(s), but that makes 'em seem kinda puny and insignificant.

After I stopped drooling, my first thought was:
"How much can you get for a kidney these days?"
I'd like to see a full family photo. I'd suggest using a giant American flag as a backdrop, and to somehow incorporate an apple pie and a baseball and bat.

I've been eyeing those for years. I'm proud to say they're made in my state...maybe one day I'll be able to get one.
Congrats on the new rifle; enjoy it. Real beauty.

I am not one who drools over each and every piece of gear picture here on THR, but that is SERIOUSLY cool.
You should send it to me to test fire for you. You know, just in case... That is awesome. What is the flag that it is sitting on?
Thanks for all the comments. The flag is the Georgia Irish Brigade from the War of Southern Independence
I had a feeling it was something Georgia but the harp threw me. I used to refer to the Civil War as the War of Northern Aggression in my history classes just to annoy all the little pc twits and the prof... fun times.
