I can’t figure out how to post pics here but I’m about to get a semi-auto RPD. I actually had a choice between a PPSH-41 (sadly in semi auto) this RPD and a few other guns. He had a modernized BAR called an HCAR chambered in .30-06 but he wants $4000 for it. Beautiful gun.
BARs are one of my favorite guns to shoot full auto. I’ve had the opportunity to use one several times at the Albany, Oregon machine gun shoot. There is something that just feels right about a very heavy 30-06 chugging along when set on slow rate of fire. Much different than zipguns like MACs, MG42s or mini Uzis, although they are obviously also fun to shoot. Sadly, living in the Peoples Republic of Washington, we serfs are denied our right to own genuine miltia weapons such as these, not that I could afford the obscene buy in cost, thanks to the ‘86 ban on new transferables.
