Those BAR cases were mounted in ½ tracks. I’ve never heard of any other use. While I have never had a use for one, I bought one 25 yrs ago just for the hell of it. I also have the leather scabbards for the Carbine, Garandicon and Thompson. Some day I might stumble over the leather scabbard for the M1903 rifle – Hopefully! I’m also a BAR man in as much as that I have 2 1918A2s. Both are Korean War mfg. Here’s a photo.

"I do agree that I probably missed out in alot because I am Young. It seems very weird to think that until the late 60's (in the US) one could own a full auto and the only requirement was having cash."

WRONG!!! You should research your subjekt more thouroughly! Your statement would have been correkt IF you had said the early 30s, but from 1933 on with the passage of the Nat'l Firearms Act ALL operable full autos had to be registered and any transfer requires the payment iof a $200 transferr tax. In 1968 the law was changed to also require the registration of dewat/unserviceable FAs altho there is no transfer tax on these weapons.
