Ohio Ordnance Model 1918A3 Self-Loading Rifle

This is a contemporary Model 1918A3 BAR Semi-Automatic Rifle manufactured by Ohio Ordnance Works of Chardon, Ohio. Using state of the art CNC machines and high quality parts in building these rifles to create a semi-automatic version of the famous Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) used by the U.S. armed forces in WWI, WWII and the Korean Conflict. This is an almost exact replica of the iconic BAR with the only difference being that this example is only capable of semi-automatic fire. The components are either new or USGI surplus BAR parts and will interchange with original BAR components. This Model 1918A3 is in WWII configuration with folding bi-pod, detachable flash-hider, walnut forearm with grasping groove and fiberglass buttstock with a smooth steel buttplate with a flip up shoulder rest. The rifle has a gray parkerized finish that is identical to the finish found on BARs issued in WWII and Korea. The folding leaf rear sight is fully adjustable for windage and elevation. The top of the receiver is roll-stamped with "MODEL 1919A3" and the Ohio Ordnance legend and patent markings in the same format as the original BAR markings. The rifle is complete with bipod and three 20-round parkerized magazines total.
