Wanted one of these since I was 14 when I saw Saving Private Ryan. That was 14 years ago. Last night I picked up my dream gun from C&S Metal werkes here in St. Charles. It has a 3-53 Barrel, WW2 trigger group and mostly USGI parts. I got her for $3750 (brand new replicas are $4500). Im happy with the deal. Anyways, here are some pics:

WOW.....When you say WWII trigger group, USGI parts, what are you referring to?? It's not WWII GARAND trigger group, obviously.........or is it just real 1918A3 WWII parts and trigger group?

The trigger housing is of ww2 manufacture. The bipod, flash hider, bolt, and gas tube are usgi parts. The stock and receiver are of newly made Ohio ordnance parts. barrel is a sa 3-53.

Good looking BAR! I couldn't have one in my safe the temtation would get me in trouble for sure. Just like me having a 50 BMG couldn't keep my hands off of it and the ammo would drive me to the poor farm for sure. HA!!!!

Do you need a stripper clip guide?
I don't know how I ended up with one for a BAR, I've had it for 15 years probably.
It's yours for the price of USPS Priority Mail Small Flat Rate Box, which is $5.20.
I added a some pics. You can barely make a manuf mark ADL on the closeup
