Twoblink,
Have you tried to e-mail Browning? If you find an e-mail send them a message and ask them your questions. Also have you gotten their 2001 catalog? If not, ask for one and ask them to have them send you more information about the Browning Automatic Rifle.
MSPHUNTER,
Each firearm has their faults.
-Pump/slide action Browning BAR and Remington has 4-round capacity, it is heavy, not as accurate as Bolt-action.
-Lever-action rifles only fires round nose calibers, .30-30, .45-70, .357, and others(if within tube magazine), accurate at only 150yards(well with .30-30), not as accurate as bolt-action, and I wish they made a lever-action that fires the .308 or .30-06 and is magazine loaded; I hope someone knows of someone who makes one.
-Bolt-action rifles are nearly perfect, except some need modifications to fit some people like: trigger work, stocks, and sights.
-Single-shots rifles(H&R, NEF): no following shots(if needed).
Well those are the negatives to these types of firearms types, but all have negatives as well as positives, we as firearm hobbiest have to fix or get around these negatives and adapt to them.
