      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I have never had a BAR and decided to buy this one, I have other Browning rifles and shotguns. This BAR was made in 1989 s/n 137PN30374.  I have been trying to find an operators manual for this rifle.  All the manuals show and explain the bolt lock release lever on the right side of receiver by the forearm.  This bar does not have a bolt release lock.  How is best way to operate this rifle? Where can I find the operator&#039;s manual for this rifle. Thanks for any information.]]></content:encoded>

I recently purchased a used 1968 Browning BAR 7mm rem mag. I was a great deal and seemed to work great at the time of purchase. When I went to sight it in I noticed it wasn&#039;t cycling every casing out. I took the rifle apart and low and behold the bolt sleeve is severely cracked. I am having trouble finding a replacement online for a Type 1 or Type 2 BAR. Does anyone know where I can get one? Also, does anyone know if a BAR Mark II Safari bolt sleeve is the same or close enough to be...<br />

A local shop has in stock a BAR Mk3 DBM in the wood finish. Before going to the shop, I checked Browning&#039;s website to make sure I understood all of the specifications. One of th specifications I was interested in was Length of Pull (LOP). On a shotgun, my LOP is fairly long, about 14 3/4 inches. I&#039;m a tall guy with long arms...<br />

Overall, the gun is nice and light but the fit and finish on it is not awesome....   Kind of wish I&#039;d went with the MK2 Safari.
