What’s Included
- Browning BAR High-Power Rifle Grade I, .30-06, 22 inch barrel
This BAR High-Power Rifle Grade I features the original pre-Mark II configuration with a gas-operated system and rotating multi-lug bolt. Chambered in .30-06 with a 22 inch barrel, it retains the classic handling and operation associated with early BAR hunting rifles. The PT year code confirms 1986 manufacture.
Factory markings include the barrel inscription "BAR CALIBER .30-06 ONLY" over "BROWNING PATENTS." The serial marking carries the PT code denoting 1986. The rifle is set up with open sights: a ramped front blade on an integral base (no hood) and a folding rear leaf with an elevation scale.
The furniture is glossy walnut with cut point-pattern checkering on the stock and fore-end. It has sling swivel studs and a steel buttplate marked "BROWNING," with a 13.75 inch length of pull. The fore-end is retained by a single transverse screw. Both the barrel and receiver wear a polished blue finish that complements the classic walnut.
