Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ohio Ordnance Works 1918A3 is a high-quality semi-automatic reproduction of John M. Browning’s famed Browning Automatic Rifle, built to replicate the WWII M1918A3 configuration while using modern manufacturing standards. This example is chambered in .308 Win—an uncommon departure from the original .30-06—making it a rare and highly sought-after variant among collectors. It features a 24" matte-blue barrel, protected post front sight with the original-style folding rear, American walnut forearm, Bakelite buttstock, and practical field fittings including a bipod and carrying handle, preserving the look, function, and presence of the historic BAR while offering modern chambering and materials.

Ohio Ordnance emphasizes authenticity and durability in its build process: receivers are CNC-machined from AISI 4140 steel billet, assembly incorporates high-quality new manufacture and USGI standard parts where appropriate, and every rifle is assembled, inspected, and test-fired under the supervision of a master armorer. With roughly 350,000 original BARs produced through WWII, the 1918A3 reproduction lets enthusiasts own and shoot a piece of that legacy—while this .308-chambered run adds a scarce, modern twist that enhances desirability for collectors and shooters alike.
