You heard that right..a .22 '1918 BAR'.

Ok, not strictly a milsurp, but every so often a firearm comes your way that has absolutely no practical application other than it looks neat and is sort of fun to show off. Here is an example..a totally custom made .22 '1918 BAR'.
Built on a Marlin 795, its made from real and fabricated parts. Mag is a dummy, of course, a BAR mag body.
This sucker is the same size and pretty close to the weight of one. I don't know what in the world I'll do with it. Shoot it and have fun, I guess! Thought you guys might like to see it.

That is beyond cool!!! A serious head turner at the range.

If it was FA you'd need two boys with buckets to keep ammo to it...

Beyond cool is precisely the phrase that came to me as well. in addition to I Need one of those.

I'll try to get some video up later of it taking out very small SS troops.

That is awesome. So a custom job. Will he be making any for the public?

I'm really looking forward to see the video's

Thanks Anzac:thup:That"taking out very small SS troops" comment had me spit my drink out!!!LOL

Semper Fi

Don't know if he'll be making any more...I think he had a bit of a 'mad scientist' moment.
Its alive!!

That is awesome. I'd love to see the looks on the faces of the guys at the .22 shoot I go to when that got pulled out.

wow that is one very cool work of art too

Way cool! That would be a hoot to shoot!

That's superb! Probably not allowed here in the UK if it uses any original MG components... Grey area here

I think the bipod and buttstock were the only original parts.
Sold this thing last week..a friend of mine just about ran me crazy asking me to sell it to him. So he is now the proud poppa.

I've always lusted after one of Karl Furr's miniature .22 Gatling guns. Not sure if he was the only maker, but he was the first. I've also thought of making one up out of ten .22 semi-auto rifle actions with some sort of trigger-trip. Bitch to load, but should work fine.
