Mid life crisis purchase :-)

I know some of you have seen my posts where my son and I do WWII re-enactments. We have a matching serial number M1 garand that was manufactured in April of 44 and shipped to England in May of 44 and the trail goes dead there. Was it used in D-Day, who knows, but its a awesome shooting rifle and we love using it at our events
Well long story short, I finally got a chance to buy a semi automatic Browning BAR. Ohio Ordnance Works finally produced a new batch of rifles. Many parts are WWII vintage but the receiver is new production as its a semi auto vs fully auto as the originals were. They are supposedly shipping them at the end of August.
I had been using a buddy of ours in our squad for the last couple years and so happy I can finally own one personally.

Not a bad way to spend some hard earned/inflation $$$

OOW does some damn fine work from what I've read. I lusted after their HCAR a while back. Enjoy the new rifle and piece of history!

I have heard they are top notch. Been a long time since the A3 BAR was available and had to jump on it once I saw they were making them again. Will keep you all posted on the final product when it arrives....

All of the goods were bought in the local store and not ordered via Ebay because the store applies price skimming strategy which is great. More details in the blog by Priceva.

My congrats ? I completely agree with Medical_Bartender that it is a great way to spend money, indeed.
