Manufactured by Group Industries of Louisville, Kentucky, the Model 1918A2 is a fine reproduction of the late-World War II Browning Automatic Rifle, using a combination of a new made, pre-'86 registered receiver and a selection of new and military surplus components. One of the signature automatic weapons of the United States from the 1920's onward, the BAR was one of the first light machine guns, and helped define the concept of the squad-level "automatic rifleman" as it stands in modern infantry combat doctrine. Blade front and folding ladder rear sights, with a "HAS/1-54" marked barrel, four-line address, model and patent markings on top of the receiver, and a "ROT/ArmaSteel" trigger assembly. The gun is fitted with a three-position selector (semi-auto/full-auto/safe), with a spring-loaded lockout between the "full" and "safe" positions. Fitted with a checkered walnut forearm, a black fiberglass buttstock with flip-up shoulder rest, a folding metal bipod and a brown leather sling. Included with the rifle are ten extra magazines with a metal storage case, a pair of spare barrels, two spare trigger groups, two complete extra bipods and an assortment of small components.
