Growing up hunting with bubba military guns , the BAR trigger was no problem to manage .
Estate 150 gr , blue box 180’s ,and core lokt 220 gr shot exceptionally well in it .
So well reloading was pointless as it was a hunting rifle , not a target gun .
My mag swung open .
Wanted one for years , but culling of the collection became a priority and was one of the chosen .

Shot one for years dog running deer in Mississippi. Use a ghost ring for a back sight. 30/06.
Hasn’t been babied at all. Feed it core locks whatever grain you choose from 150 to 180. I guess I’ll be one of those that’s never had a problem yet.

It’s not a range gun, and I bought it used. I have no idea how many rounds were shot through it before I got it, and I’ve shot it less than a 100 times for sure. Honestly, I don’t know if it’s ever been taken down and cleaned. I’ve wiped it off with oil….that’s it
"Though shalt never take apart a Browning A5 or it will never work 100% properly again" was good advice my father gave me. I'm betting it applies to the BAR and BLR also.
Pulling a bore snake through the barrel of a BAR or BLR is probably all they need.


I have taken apart every BAR I have owned with zero issues. It is simple. I would not dare to touch an Auto 5 or BLR.
