I made a big mistake while in basic training on the LMG range by cutting every square out of that zig zag gun target.
The reward was they made me first gunner and carrying, sleeping, jumping out of the Airplane and crashing through trees with that miserable hunk of iron for two years.
No more rat-tat-tat-tat-ting for me

What does a feller do when he needs to rebarrel one of those critters?
A few years back I got a call from the D.O.T. ( Dept of Trans) in Girdwood to come down and replace a windshield in their front end loader. When I got there I noted the windshield was not just broken but completely pulverized and pushed in. I asked" what on earth happened to the glass"? One of the road crew laughed and said they had parked it to close to the 105 recoiless when shooting down avalanche. I replaced it and saw in the parking lot a 105 MM cannon on wheels that was replacing the recoiless because they could not get any more ammo for it as the WWll surplus was drying up.
One of the problems with both rifles was that occasionally they shoot duds and sheep hunters and rock climbers sometimes find them and pack them back out to town. No one has got "blowed up" as Ernest Worrel used to say but me thinks it's not the smartest thing to handle a live shell when discovered on the mountain. MD

MLV, I am curious (again) on the BAR, does it eat the brass hard? What are you using for ammo? surplus or reloads? How much rim deformation from the ejection?ding up the case mouths bad or what?
My SKS doesn't do much to steel cased import ammo,but sure flogs the hell out of commercial brass(R-P, Federal , & WW). As a lifelong loader I guess I can't get away from my miserely ways. You didn't let Shrapnel use his own reloads for rabbit hunting did you? bobw

Bobw: When Shrapnel is even in the same county as I am I insist that he shoot ONLY factory ammo!!!
Actually this BAR doesn't ding up cases at all. It is amazingly gentle with them. Now that German K43 8mm I bought in February. Its brutal to brass.

Beware the man with one rifle. He may not have enough interest in it to be competent!

I didn't carry the BAR, I had the 1919-A3 then later on it was the M-60.
