Browning Automatic
Carbine (Auto-22)
Notes: This
weapon was first designed by John Browning in 1908, but production did not begin
until 1913. It was built in several
production batches: 1913-14, 1920-40, 1947-76, and (by the Miroku Firearms
Company in Japan, though sold exclusively through FN/Browning) from 1976 until
this day. It is a simple
autoloading small-caliber rifle with a tubular magazine in the butt instead of
under the barrel. It is not simply
a scaled-down version of a larger rifle; it was designed specifically for the
cartridges it fires. The magazine in the butt has an unusual feature: there is a
port cut in the butt allowing the magazine to be half-filled without removing
the entire magazine. Ejection is
from the bottom of the receiver. The tubular magazine is not under the forearm;
the forearm is simply a solid piece of shaped wood and the magazine is in the
stock. The barrel length is 19.375 inches. The original model came in versions
firing .22 Long Rifle (the most common by far) or .22 Short (a rare variant).
Other variants include the very basic Model A, with a small magazine and
overall smaller size; the Model B, an improved model A with a checkered pistol
grip butt and better-quality woods; the BAC Deluxe, with a grayed steel receiver
(Grade III), or a even more elaborate artwork (Grade IV), or gold-inlaid artwork
(Grade V), attractive artwork on the receiver, and a version able to fire .22
Magnum rounds. Grade II, III, and IV Auto-22s are sometimes engraved and, much
more rarely, have the artists’ signatures engraved on the right side of the
receiver. IRL, these are worth a
lot of money, but this has no practical effect in game terms. Normal finishing
is blued, and sometimes with simple engraving.
The walnut is Grade I, checkered on the wrist and forearm.
Grade II rifles has a gold-plated trigger and more elaborate engraving,
with the metalwork having a bright finish (called “Coin” by Browning) or
Parkerized gray. Grade III rifles
had engraving of an elaborate game scene, with the right side having a hunting
dog chasing three ducks and the left a dog holding a rabbit or duck.
Other scenes are available though special order.
The stock of a grade III has elaborate skipline checkering instead of the
normal cut. The Grade IV, the only version remaining in production, has blue or
grayed engraved receivers, and barrels (non-engraved). The engraving is in gold,
and the trigger is gold-plated.
The Auto-22 has
also proven itself amenable to the addition of a suppressor, though so far no
one has done this with any other than a standard Auto-22 (BAC).
It is the same as the standard BAC with the exception of the addition of
a suppressor; however, a suppressed Auto-22 has different stats and firing
characteristics,

Browning BAR
Notes: This is
basically the updated, semiautomatic counterpart to the BBR.
These weapons are very popular in North America, South America, and
Europe. It is a very elegant
design, simple to use and maintain, and can often be found with engraved artwork
(often gold-inlaid). Barrels as
were 22 inches long for the standard guns, but a 22-inch barrel was later made
available. The First BARs were
introduced in 1967, initially called the Browning High-Power Auto Rifle.
The .280 version was not introduced until 1988.
All BARs have some type of iron sights and are also drilled and tapped.
Variants of the
basic design include the Battue, introduced in the mid-1980s; this version has a
folding leaf sight at the quarter-rib.
It is otherwise identical to standard BAR for game purposes.
The BAR Big Game Special Edition was a version in .30-06, using a 22-inch
barrel that is heavy and target-crowned.
The trigger is gold-plated, and the silver-gray receiver has engraved
scenes of a mule deer on the left and white-tail deer on the left.
Each scene also has a trophy head of the animal inlaid with gold.
Only 600 of this model were built between 1987-88.
The BAR Deluxe is just as it sounds, a deluxe version of the BAR; the
primary difference is the engraving on the receiver and the quality wood used in
its stock, and it is otherwise identical to the standard BAR for game purposes.
The BAR Magnum is, as the name indicates, a magnum-firing version of the
BAR, with a 24-inch barrel. The
.300 Winchester Magnum was introduced in 1969; the .338 version disappeared in
1977, but was re-introduced in 1988.
The Safari is basically a Magnum with a heavy barrel and stalking-type
iron sights. The Lightweight has a light alloy receiver and a short 20.05-inch
barrel; it was introduced in 1996.
Shortly thereafter (2000) came the Lightweight Magnum, basically the same as the
Lightweight but magnum-firing. The
Light Battue Prima was introduced in 2001, basically a Battue built to
Lightweight standards and firing a different mix of calibers.
In 2002, a number of special versions of the BAR appeared, such as the
BAR Evolve, with the light alloy receiver but a full 22-inch barrel.
The BAR Light Stalker has a light alloy receiver, stalking-type sights, a
dark gray plastic stock, 22-inch barrel, and a limited selection of chamberings.
In 1985, the BAR
name was dropped (except in the US), and the rifle renamed the Affut.
In the early
2010s, FN reintroduced a new BAR in Safari Grade, calling it the BAR Mark 2
Safari. The Mark 2 has a 24-inch barrel and the original classic appearance that
BAR lovers crave for. It optionally
comes with the BOSS muzzle brake, and has a soft polymer recoil pad on the butt.
The Mark 3, introduced in 2016, is essentially the same rifle with an
aluminum receiver and some other aluminum parts.
The Mark 3 has more flexibility with finishes, including black and Mossy
Oak Breakup.
Twilight 2000
Notes: These weapons can be found in the hands of many a hunter or militia
member. However, only the standard
BAR, the Big-Game Special, and the Magnum exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Browning BAR-22
Notes: Basically
a BAR sporting rifle in rimfire, the BAR-22 is a virtual small-caliber copy of
the standard BAR, except that the magazine is tubular instead of a removable box
and the receiver housing is of light alloy.
The read sight folds down and front sight is gold-colored to help obtain
a good sight picture. The receiver
housing is milled to reduce light flare from it.
The BAR-22 was produced from 1977-1985, along with a more luxurious
version called the BAR-22 Grade II (from 1981 to 1985).

Browning Buck Mark
Sporter Carbine
Notes:
Introduced in 2001, this is basically a Buck Mark pistol to which a stock,
longer barrel, and fore-end have been attached.
The stock is partially skeletonized, to allow use of the (standard) Buck
Mark pistol grip; the weapon also uses standard Buck Mark magazines.
The stock is permanently attached and is not easily removed.
The front sight has a florescent plastic bead to aid in aiming.
There are several versions other than the standard version: the Classic
Carbon, which has a carbon fiber barrel and a gray stock (still
wooden/skeletonized); the Classic Target, with a bull barrel; and the Target,
with a heavy barrel.

Browning High-Power
Semiautomatic Rifle
Notes: This was
a pretty high-powered semiautomatic rifle back in 1900 when John Browning first
designed it. It was not produced
until 1910, and built from 1910-14, and then again from 1921-31.
The same design was licensed to Remington, and produced as the Remington
Model 8. The Browning version,
however, has an aiming rib above the barrel and a leaf rear-sight.
This weapon was a pretty advanced design for the time.

Browning New BAR
Notes: The New
BAR is an update of the BAR sporting rifle above.
The stock no longer has the humpback stock of the earlier design, instead
having a conventional drop stock, and a fore-end with deep finger flutes to
enable a positive grip. The basic
operation is the same, but the action is more compact, resulting in a shorter
and lighter weapon. The New BAR has
iron sights, but is also dripped and tapped for a scope; the rear sight is well
forward, ahead of the receiver, while front sight is hooded to protect it.
The pistol grip wrist and fore-end are also checkered.
The weight of the weapon, though lighter than the original BAR, helps
tame the recoil of some of the powerful cartridges it fires, as does the thick
recoil pad on the butt. The trigger
pull is described by one author as both creepy and mushy.
There are three versions: the Short-Trac, the Short-Trac Magnum, and the
Long-Trac, which are differentiated primarily in the rounds they are chambered
for.

FN FN-15
Notes: This is a
family of AR-based rifles designed for a variety of sporting uses, from hunting
to target shooting to competitions like 3-Gun competitions.
The design also has military and police uses, with the DMR designed
specifically for military use. All
versions are accurized.
The basic
version, the FN-15 MOE SLG, is equipped with a Magpul MOE package, including an
M-LOK handguard, a removable rear sight and fixed front sight that are
Magpul-modified A2 sights. The
sliding stock and pistol grip are part of the MOE SL package; they are basic
shorts of stocks and grips, though more ergonomic than one might find on a
standard AR. The charging handle
and magazine release are designed to be more ergonomic.
The 16-inch barrel has a military profile and a standard A2-type flash
suppressor.
The FN-15
Sporting is basically an FN-15 MOE SLG modified for greater accuracy; it is
meant to be a hunting weapon, but is equally adept for target shooting.
The 18-inch barrel is match-grade, cold hammer forged, has a chromed
bore, and is tipped with a SureFire ProComp 556 muzzle brake. The trigger is a
Timney competitive trigger, and is two-stage.
The grip is the same MOE grip as on the MOE SLG, but the sliding stock is
a Magpul CTR stock with more mass than the MOE SLG, and with larger unlocking
levers. The Sporting does not come
with iron sights, but does have a full-length Picatinny rail atop the receiver
and extending to the gas block. The handguard is a Samson Evolution 15-inch.
The FN-15 Rifle
is essentially the AR-15A2 given the FN Treatment.
The stock is A2, except for the compartment in the butt for a cleaning
kit and the metal buttplate. The top of the receiver has a MIL-STD-1913 rail,
and the carrying handle (with rear sight) is removable. The front sight is a
standard A2 post. The barrel
is 20 inches. The Carbine is
similar in concept to the AR-15A2 Carbine.
Furniture is in many identical to the rifle, but the Carbine has a
sliding stock (a standard AR stock), and the handguards are slightly oval in
cross-section. Barrel length is 16 inches, tipped with A2 flash suppressor.
Though a commemorative model, The FN-15 1776 has special markings and
slightly better components. The 16-inch
barrel is of alloy steel, and tipped with an A2 flash suppressor. The top of the
receiver has a MIL-STD-1913 rail; atop the gas block is a very short section of
rail for installation of sights.
The 1776 is very similar to the Carbine; most of what it a 1776 is the special
markings, though it is much lighter.
The Tactical is
one of two designed to appeal to the military and police as well as civilians.
(The possible military use leaves open a possible full auto capability,
and I have included this below just for general interest.)
The Tactical has a Magpul MOE SL sliding stock, and an MOE grip. The
stock, however, has a recoil pad on the butt.
The 16-inch barrel has a match-grade barrel, cold hammer forged, and free
floating, and tipped with an FN-designed three-prong open flash suppressor.
The controls are modified to be more ergonomic.
Atop the receiver and handguard is a continuous MIL-STD-1913 rail; under
the handguard is another one. The Tactical is obviously useful for DMR
applications, and also by competition shooters (especially those in 3-Gun). The
DMR is designed for military designated marksmen, as well as police snipers; it
has obvious competition uses. It
has the same handguard as the Tactical, and the lower rail is short, about
enough for a bipod or light.
Removable, folding iron sights are provided -- Magpul MBUS Pro sights.
The barrel is 18 inches, but built to the same specs as the Tactical, and
is tipped with a Surefire ProComp 556 muzzle brake.
A recoil pad is provided.

FN FNAR
FN describes the
FNAR as “descending from the legendary Browning Automatic Rifle” (the sporting
rifle version above, not the automatic rifle).
The FNAR is chambered only for 7.62mm NATO, but the design is beefed up
for heavier use and to withstand more abuse.
The stock is synthetic and has a true pistol grip instead of a pistol
grip wrist; the pistol grip is textured.
The stock has a sling swivel on the butt and as part of the lower
MIL-STD-1913 rail at the front; this frontal sling swivel can be removed, and
the mount used to attach a bipod. The receiver is of 7075 T6 aircraft aluminum
and is topped by a MIL-STD-1913 rail, and there are rails on the sides of the
handguards and bottom for accessories.
The stock may be adjusted by length of pull by use of spacers.
The magazine well is flared for quick reloads.
The barrel may be 16 or 20 inches and is of light contour and fluted for
strength. The magazine release and
crossbolt safety are ambidextrous.
The bold handle is extended for easier utility, though not extended enough as to
provide an obstruction or hang up on something. The standard rifle has no iron
sights, relying on sighting equipment mounted on the receiver rail.
The FNAR Match
is a variant of the FNAR designed for target shooting as well as use as a
designated marksman’s tool and a policeman’s tactical rifle, as well as by
hunters looking for a more accurate weapon.
The FNAR Match features a 20” cold hammer-forged fluted match-quality
barrel with a target crown and hard-chromed bore.
The stock and furniture is designed by McMillan, and has an adjustable
cheekpiece, a length of pull adjustable by spacers, and three sling swivels.
The receiver is of aircraft-quality aluminum, and is topped, like the
standard FNAR, with a MIL-STD-1913 rail. There are mounting points for rails on
the front sides of the fore-end as well as the bottom, though these are optional
and not included with the basic FNAR Match.
The magazine release is ambidextrous; the safety is a crossbolt safety.
The bolt release lever is extended for easier reach.
The FNAR Heavy Barrel
is essentially the same as the standard FNAR, but has a heavy-profile cold
hammer-forged fluted barrel with a hard-chromed bore and target crown as
standard. The cheekpiece is not
adjustable per se, but the FNAR Heavy
Barrel comes with three interchangeable combs to mount on the stock.
The FNAR Heavy Barrel is quite useful as a designated Marksman’s or
police tactical sniper rifle, as the heavy barrel and extra weight lead to
greater accuracy and less barrel jump.
