Manufactured by Ohio Ordnance Works Inc. under license for Colt as a closed bolt, semi-automatic reproduction of the classic Model 1918 Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR), with only 200 such rifles made in a special limited production serial run, this example being number 107. Designed by the legendary American firearms icon John Moses Browning himself and adopted by U.S. Ordnance in 1918, the M1918 BAR only saw limited front line use before the end of World War I. However, due to its lighter weight in comparison to other full-size machine guns of the time, the M1918 could be carried and operated by a single individual rather than the team required to operate the latter. This allowed to BAR operator to advance with friendly infantry and lay down mobile suppressive fire from the hip, known as "walking fire", making it the first true squad automatic rifle in U.S. military history. After the Great War, the BAR's portable firepower attracted favor from both criminals and lawmen alike during gangland era of the 1920s and 1930s, being the preferred arm for Clyde Barrow of the infamous Bonnie and Clyde bank robber duo. While undergoing some improvements and revisions over the decades, the M1918 would remain the standard light machine gun of the U.S. through World War II and the Korean War, before eventually being phased out in the late 1950s. Features a full high-polish blue finish and niter blue small parts in emulation of the original earlier production M1918s, fixed blade front and M1917 pattern folding ladder peep rear sights, early style conical flash hider, adjustable gas valve, "S" and "F" marked fire controls on the left side, the Colt address, model, caliber, and "C1918-00107" serial number marked on top of the front upper receiver flat, along with a "rampant colt" logo on top of the raised, dovetailed receiver insert. Fitted with a checkered forend, smooth walnut buttstock with smooth blued steel buttplate, and a Ohio Ordnance Works polished blue magazine. Includes shipping box, extra blued magazine, M1907 pattern leather sling with brass hooks, "rampant colt" embossed leather/plastic container, sealed cleaning kit, and "Colt" embossed Negrini leatherette case fitted for the rifle and accessories.
