Might be a record!

I have a sneaking feeling that a malfunction with an autoloader is not nearly as common as misworking a bolt action in the heat of battle....

Yep, hard to short stroke an auto. LOL

Semi big bore? ! That's awesome!! Good luck on the sale!

 

[NTO]

Sold pending payment yes was quick.

Just curious if African countries will allow semi automatic centerfire rifles? Looks like it would be an incredible big bear rifle!

 

[TKessel]

That didn’t take long!

 

[stk]

I didnt know they made such a thing. What a thumper.

 

[Hogpatrol]

Just curious, did it have an Atkinson barrel?

Most won't allow...Yes on the Bear Rifle!
I left one with Dave Clay years back to be converted but after 2 years of waiting I told him to send it back...

Does it shoot & funtion with factory 500s?

Never seen nor heard of a BAR 458 winmag.

If you zoom in, you can just make it out, Atkinson Gun Co.
Certainly not needed, but what truly is anyone. Just a fun one to get.

I’m not going to lie. I got really excited to see a 1918 BAR chambered in 458.

 

[NTO]

Yes has Atkinson Barrel
I shot 400gr in it. That’s what they suggest to shoot is 400gr.

 

[NTO]

It was a neat one but as you can see I’m cleaning the safe out to make a property purchase.

No semi-autos allowed Down Under; love to see a BLR version ..

Basically the .338 WM version rebarreled to 458 .Jack Lott I believe was the first one to try this and got it to function correctly. Big Bore Rifles by Jack lott
