BBA118 Taking A Break

This ‘winter’ soldier is standing at-ease with his M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle by his side. The B.A.R. was one of a family of American automatic rifles that entered service late in 1918 and continued throughout WW2, the Korean conflict and even as late as the Vietnam War!

Utilizing a 20-round box magazine the B.A.R. fired the standard 30-06 round (the same as the WW1 ’03 Springfield Rifle’). Eventually in 1957 it began to be replaced by the newer M60 machine gun as the standard S.A.W. Squad Automatic Weapon.

Scale 1/30.
