Key Design Notes for this VintageThe Action: The original 1970 models were built on a standardized "long action" steel receiver frame. This means a short-action cartridge like the .308 Win cycles through a receiver long enough to technically clear a .30-06. The Magazine: Early BARs feature a unique "hinged floorplate" design. The floorplate swings downward, and the box magazine clips directly onto the inner side of the door. Guns have not been inspected by a gunsmith and should be inspected before use. Working conditions are not guaranteed. Guns have not been test fired. jrb.
