Thank's Jack; I thought it was '06 but the magazine looks so much bigger. Awesome firepower there selling semi-auto versions for 3K+. interesting piece of history for sure. BigBill

I heard war stories about BAR's the guy's who used BAR's had to wait till others shot first to cover their sound, their unique sound made them a target first because of their awesome firepower they were the highest threat to the enemy. And in towns they would fire at cement/stone walls(buildings) at angles bouncing bullets off "ricocheting" off everything down the streets nobody stuck their heads out.

Just out of curiosity, who's selling the semi auto ones? Are they new?

I don't want to buy one, for $3K I'd have to use it to defend myself from my wife. :-)
