The BAR under discussion is the squad automatic weapon. It looks about like the US M1918A2, but has a pistol grip stock and an interchangeable barrel, similar to that on a Bren gun. Some barrels were finned.

Thanks T-Star. I'm actually interested in a 1967 civilian sporter version made in Belgium. S/N 2xxx M7. Would that be a salt-stock victim to avoid? (Sorry 2Loud4You, not trying to hijack your thread).
