The gas-operated, semi-automatic action delivers the classic BAR experience in a long-action .30-06 configuration with a 4+1 capacity. This example uses a detachable box magazine accessed via a hinged floorplate, and it features a right-side charging handle with a round knob.
The receiver is steel with a polished blued finish and factory scroll engraving, including "SAFARI" panels. Controls include a gold-tone trigger and a cross-bolt safety with a red visual indicator.
The 22-inch barrel is set up in a factory-style configuration with sight provisions. Note: The serial-matching box end label reads "WITHOUT SIGHTS"; see photos for the rifle's current sight setup, as a configuration mismatch may be present (possible barrel change or mislabeled box).
The stock is gloss-finished walnut with cut checkering, a black recoil pad, and sling swivel studs. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches for a traditional sporting fit.
This BAR Mark II Safari was assembled at Browning Viana in Portugal and comes with the original factory packaging and the shown long-action magazine marked "ITALY."
