A left-handed BAR!
« on: February 18, 2006, 06:24:44 PM »
I just saw this on Brownings site. Both short and long actions. I wonder if Winchester will offer one as well. http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/firearms/detail.asp?value=002B&cat_id=031&type_id=352

A left-handed BAR!

I don't see that happening. Browning and Winchester are both owned by the same company. If Winchester were to make a left hand semi auto rifle, it would be competing with the BAR for sales and both are owned by the same company. I like the new Winchester semi auto rifle, but I don't think it will be in production for long.

Another thing that I could not  figure out is why is the finish on the Walnut gunstocks so much nicer and better on the Browning rifles and shotguns and yet, Winchester puts on a dull satin finish on the Walnut?  The quailty of the Walnut that goes on a Browning rifle and shotgun is a much higher grade , too!
