The BAR is an American Classic and will always have a special place in the history of US Military small arms- it's ruggedness and reliability are legendary. Thanks to the good folks at Ohio Ordnance Works this piece of history is preserved for law abiding gun owners to enjoy and pass down to future generations . For those that love the latest and greatest OOW has launched the HCAR - an updated version of the BAR that brings the warhorse into the 21st Century. Enjoy - Розваги
Watching this in 2020, feels weird when the dude says “started back in 96, so about 17 years”
Time just moving too damn fast...
Tell me about it. I remember feeling really weird when stuff in the 90s was 20 years ago. Now that stuff in the 2000's is that old, "20 years ago" has basically lost all meaning to me.
it's 2022 now cuz
and supposedly shipping finally Nov '22
@@shoegum7362 right! Why is this gun even a thing? It's shorter, and it's semi auto.
WHAT FUCK I DONT LIKE THIS ONE BIT
My oldest uncle was a BAR man in the Pacific. At the earliest opportunity, he said, he threw the bipod into the ocean.
BARtender, you mean?
HCAR, "Daddy?"
BAR, "You are adopted."
I get it.
that's cruel... but funny
This is what happens when an SKS,a BAR and a SPAS12 had threesome
@@danieldeguzman183 so who's the chick in this threeway?
joe claridy obviously the spas 12,nice butt-stock”clever girl”
That HCAR is beautiful. A worthy successor to an amazing classic
Well said
Damn, that is a sexy gun. The fact that they kept it .30-06 really endears me to it. I would absolutely love to have it for its uniqueness. This is not just another played-out .308.
Man that HCAR is hard hitting.. The 30-06 gets a second chance to shine!
hell yeah... imagine some troops in Iraq with this monster... terrorist don't have a chance even they are equipped with 7.62 Nagant semi rifles...
Odin Lobo Gauta 30.06 is an ass ripping round
Odin Lobo Gauta mi not sure what your argument here is about "7.62 nagant semi rifles" is.. since a 7.62x54R is probably moving faster out of a dragunov than this rifle
Clifford S as much as i want to love this gun. it simply doesnt make much sense in the practical world. : \
neverknows best yup 30_06 is no good that's why it's been around for over a century.
“30.06 is a robust round”
-understatement of the year. It’s a beast.
Same energy as a 308 tho
@@hansvonluck7456 bro idk about that. 30.06 will bruise your shoulder.
@@hansvonluck7456 No way. More powder in a 30-6, just look at the case size in comparison. Your looking at 2500 FPS for the 308 vs 3500 FPS for the 30-6. Plus, the Ohio Ord HCAR guys say this beast can accommodate hotter loads.
Assault Rifles are for intermediate cartridges...this is a Battle Rifle!
DerHossMeister I like that term!
and not even that because it has no full auto capabilitys. buy an g3 or fal and you get a GOOD battle rifle
"battle rifle" doest exists: this category of rifle is caled "heawy assault rifle"
@@leneanderthalien
It is just a Rifle
DerHossMeister COUNTER assault rifle 😎
Larry taught the platoon sergeants in my infantry company shooting drills, then they taught us. The guy knows his stuff, I was a decent shot before. I became excellent afterwards.
Thanks for the compliment!!
If you took a shot for everytime he said the word "robust" you would have to get your stomach pumped.
Kenny Powers same with slo mo and lense flares
+Kenny Powers
Unless you have a very robust stomach.
@@Vulf_Faolan I see what you did there. LMAO
Do it every time he says "uh"
And you don’t even have to pay extra for robust protection.
A BAR with a silencer. No words to describe the awesome!!!!!
I love it! Was considering picking it up in the future until I saw the price on their website. Sweet baby Jesus. Still pretty awesome, though.
I concur!
***** :3
no doubt, i wish i was rich like will smith
OMG I agree!
You could buy a SCAR 17 and an ACOG for that price!
Shut up you weaboo nerd
7:52 BAR shooting, 10:03 HCAR and suppressed HCAR after it.
That HCAR is a breath of fresh air after watching so many AR15 vid"s , NICE rifle ! :]
The BAR is truly a very sturdy rifle. It has only two downsides- its. Very heavy (19.5 pounds) , and limited ammo in the mag.
Why they didnt used an extended mag?
I keep coming back to this video for some reason.
Been following the HCAR for sometime now. My body is ready, and I wont feel complete as a human until I have one.
GroundPounder 85 Did you get that rifle or nah?
Based Sasquatch Pepe he is pretty much dead by now
@@hellojapan5778 3 years later still no update on his HCAR journey
This thing is so cool! .30-06 in a modern battle rifle configuration is not something that ever crossed my mind, it's just ridiculous. Ridiculously awesome.
Sounds great but 4500.00? Not a working man's gun for sure.
Plus, at 11 pounds and some change (assuming you're talking about the HCAR), it's pretty much going to be a range toy only. Lugging that much rifle around will get very old very quickly. I think it's cool, but not $4,000 cool.
11 pounds is ok to me but as said before, 4399 dollars? Lol id rather buy a better setup for that money....
PeakiN BuffaLo You could buy 4 Colt AR-15s and 1000 rounds of 5.56mm for that much.
Scarlett Luger Or like 3-4 low end AR-10 rifles, which would play the same role for a lot less weight. But this gun isn't really meant for practicality in the first place. As I said, it's a range toy.
Scarlett Luger why an AR ? They are trash. Buy something proper like a SIG 550 or a sako rifle if you like long range shooting, their TRGs go for 4k i think and are avaible in 300 win, 308 win and 338 lapua
パッと見全然違う子になっちゃった…と思っていましたがよく見るとちゃんと部分部分にBARが受け継がれてて嬉しくなりました😌
My grandfather talked about the BAR from WWII. He was there and saw Patton.
Was he with 3rd Army?
wow that's awesome man. that's something to be proud of. my grandfather was in France ww2. he was a mechanic infantryman in a tank battalion. he was shot in. the leg and went back after 30 days. it's a shame he passed 20 years ago. I miss him. greatest generation for sure
Max Otto
Dam. So he was part of a Grey hound crew right?
Yes, I gave him a book of Patton on this topic when he was alive.
My great grandad moved to the UK in the 30s (as a boy), from Germany, and then joined the British army and served in Africa during WW2. He and his mates got captured by some Germans and were put into a cave. The Germans had to go and deal with something and so they stole one of their cars and just drove off lol
If I was on my way to Afghanistan, I'd want the HCAR, in my load out inventory. 30 round mags, in a hard-hitting, longer distance proven caliber, easily aquired, common caliber.
John M. Browning should be on Mount Rushmore. Great vid, thanks.
TRUTH!
I think what killed that was when he went to work for Belgium. Not entirely patriotic. That being said, it was Winchester who let him go in the first place, and bad luck with Remington made him unemployed for a while so I can kind of get him looking to sell his shotgun and other designs with whoever would pay for it to put food on the table. I still wish that in an alternate history Browning could have waited out for Remington.
Dave Smith I mean, it’s Belgium tho, it ain’t like they’re Russia or China lol
From The Fire Belgium did some terrible shit
Along with Eugene Stoner and John Garand
The look of the gun is just amazing. Performs well to.
this video was robust.
Lol. Somebody needed a thesaurus.
Oh yeah.
One word: Absolutely friggen amazing
Bf1 dice logic this gun does as much damage as an smg
It's EA. They based in L.a. AKA gun control empire. They never shot any guns most likely themselves and don't know much other then what info they find on the internet
Collin Specht yea idk about all that i was just bitching cuz the BAR and other lmgs dont do enough damage lol
Of course 30-06=.9mm para
It's called balancing, if you are looking for total accuracy in a FPS go play ARMA.
+Tobias5036 because everyone is driping with cash
God damn... The sound of a BAR is unmistakable... Sounds like joey diaz laughing haha
That HCAR is Beast!!!
I probably can't afford it but boy would I love to have one. I would tear the shit out of some Hogs with this thing!!
100 years old still rocks
I'm really impressed by the HCAR. I would like to see a few changes for my taste, though. I'll like the picatinny rail to go all the way across the receiver. I rather have an 18" barrel. Not sure if its possible, but the receiver being cut for (unmodified) AR style grips would be nice. And lastly the receiver seems to need bullet deflector. In spite of all that, its REALLY tempting to get a modern take on the classic BAR. Nice job OOW.
Well, the "bullet deflector" is WAAAAY downrange so it is probably safe to figure you meant case deflector" isn't it?
Just sayin'.
That HCAR looks like a beast.
30-06 is one of the greatest rounds of all time
Any round that hits its target and puts it down effectively is good
@SKOVERSK, jealous much?!?
Some people's kids, I SWEAR! SMDH.
Bet you argue with an empty room.
And probably ButtHurt at the school ground kids making fun of your 6.5 Creedmore, huh?
But all the other kiddies got one so you gotta do the Lemming thing, too.
Bwhahahahahahahaha!!
First round i ever shot lol. But i like 303 brit lol. Yaaay Canada
@@user-td1zo3tv9p This is the most boomer-y comment I have ever read.
300 AAC - ?
I love that the HCAR is the same as my deer rifle. 30/06 has come a long way lol
That dude loves to say "Robust"
help comdom is robusting me in bridge
AfromanKKK2 So? His vocabulary isn't that robust...
***** SPACE THE CLOWN
your mom's robust...
And baby gap t shirts
the BAR is a thing of beauty......30.06 is a massive round.
this was posted on my birth day... thanks god
That HCAR is really one nice piece of machinery!!
Do something like this with a Thompson, I would love to see the outcome. Idk if it’s possible but i would rly love to see it
My grandpa showed me this and I love it
My Grandfather was the foreman of the Browning’s ranch in Utah for many years. He was gifted by Brownings with many of the weapons that Mr. Browning invented. I am 75 now and want to get a BAR. I got to shoot the real deal in the Marine Basic Infantry Training after Boot Camp in 1967. Went to Vietnam with the M-14 which was replaced with the M-16 half way through my tour. The newer version (H.A.R.C.) seems like the way to go dispute the nostalgia. I have been shooting 1000 yards with a Tikka T3 in 6.5 CM recently. Seems too easy. I think it would be shoot to put those big 30-06 slugs way down range.
I just love the sound of the old school BAR.
I think I just fell in love omg that weapon is badass!!
I love the guy from the company that makes the gun is so fucking funny, you can tell he's nervous or very soft spoken. Cool dudes and guns
I would probably enjoy this channel a bit more of they didn't add in so much dramatic, loud music
More shooting. For a gun channel they barely go through a 20rd box a show.. Disappointing.
then maybe carebears is more your speed...or are the hugs too loud?
i bet you know all about disappointment...
It's more tactical that way.
@@bobkin611 20th
I love 30.06 I would even say it's my favorite rifle round!
My father carried a BAR in service. I'd love to get him an HCAR; I bet he'd adore it even more than he did the BAR.
Or you could just buy him a car. Lol.
or he looks ar the HCAR like 'What in the godforsaken world is this heresy'
Well it's been 7 years have ya got him it?
@@tobyrix7082 unfortunately he died of cancer not long after I posted this.
Larry has the best production on his vids!
One of the most beautifully crafted rifles I've seen. If I had the income to own and shoot a lot of this caliber definitely would love
Actually, three infantryman with BAR's held off an entire battalion of German ss. The 30.06 had the range and power to reach out and touch someone. Just ask Bonnie and Clyde.
A relative of mine was an Army infantryman in the Korean War, saw a ton of combat. He spoke of BARs being valued a great deal for flank security for medium .30-caliber MGs and also for the big Browning 50HBs. Also counter-sniper use. It's pretty impressive that three BAR men held off an entire battalion of Waffen-SS, since the BAR is an automatic rifle and not a true machine-gun, in the sense that it lacks a quick-change barrel or the ability to feed from belted/linked ammo. Tremendous weapon - years ahead of its time in 1918 - and viable for decades after that well into the Cold War era.
My grandfather's brother was a BAR man during the Korean war. He loved the gun. Says that it cuts the Chinese better than the M1 Garand. He was in the 10th BCT.
yussuq madiq well it served him well. Was your granpa's brother a filipino?
@@kuyatums9386 Yes.
What a beast of a rifle!
I like the way Larry has learned from the John Woo school of slo-mo action editing.
Awesome! Particularly suppressed!
The AK vibe is strong in this one
Praying everyday for you and family LAV🙏🇺🇸
I'm glad to see aone being fired finally and with an excellent review. Thanks Larry.
this is on mean fighting rifle.... definitely will change how battles are won. there should be atleast 3 of this on a eight men team. Thankc L A V for sharing
$4,300.00?? I could build the AR of my dreams with that money plus really good optics.
You could build 5 plus optics and gear etc. for the price of a Barret; but to each his own. I'd buy one but only when I approach my mid life crisis age, lol.
***** That's what happens when you're basically buying one off guns from a moderately small company doing highend customs. AR15s are mass produced by shitloads of companies with all common off the shelf parts you can get anywhere, thus they're pretty damn cheap to build. You want to build an AR to the standard these are made to, and you're going to end up well over $2500.
Under $10k and it shouldn't be out of the reach of most people. Just start saving and stop pretending that you can have something "just as good" for less money. I bet most gun owners have more than $10k tied up in their collection.
Beavis
They need the money to get their spokesman public speaking lessons.
Fuck .....get an original thought.
Reminds me of a leaderless marine 'bot.
You do understand that it's an automatic 30-06 with an effective range of up to 1500 yards.... right..?
Regan Cuthbert I understood it to be semi-automatic?
Buy definition aren't they "battle rifles" not "assault rifles"? Because they are so heavy with a heavy caliber round.
Yeah. I'd guess the reason they chose to call this an AR is because its largely compatible with AR style compontents such as the buttstock.
But since its chambered in 30-06 its really a Battle Rifle, not an AR.
yes your terminology makes sense bro
Papa Cap the original BAR was actually a medium machine gun, it just did not have very large magazines
+Braindead I don't know if you know this or not, but the AR in AR15 means Armalite Rifle, not Assault Rifle..
+Kolton Hobbs Though its more of a squad automatic weapon than machine gun.
Seems like a good rifle but with a pricy tag, powerful round too!
That HCAR is one hell of a awesome battle rifle. AWESOME!
One of the best quality review of the HCAR! Your content is great but the high quality video really helps show the characteristics of weapons. The HCAR is on my dream wish list (need a regular AR-15 first) but it definitely seems you get the bang for your buck on this one!
Wow what a gun!
Not an assault rifle when we start calling Semi auto rifles assault rifles we are creating more confusion for the people that don't know any better
cruzberg84 its just how ohio ordinance works named the rifle.
you mean people like Larry?
They call it a "counter-assault rifle"
cruzberg84 so its politically correct to please your King?
thinking same thing...........
What a beautiful gun!
That surpressor is really doing a good job considering the caliber!
So many beautiful rifles!
Expensive but Badass. I really like it. I have one of their original 1918slr's you mention at the start. Paid 2300 on my parts kit when they first started.I really like it and bought a bunch of mags and surplus ammo when it was still cheap.Now mags are expensive because of demand from the semi-autos and supplies drying up.
This comment aged well..
LAV & BAR... Awesome!
I need one!
MY GOD!? THE LEGEND LIVES!
Wasnt the us military looking for a new battle rifle. Why not use an old one?
Uhh i came a little bit when i heard suppressed
Long admired the BAR but never really considered having one until I watched this video. Great video short, sweet, and informative.
nothing says I'm here to to party like B.A.R.
Except a Bren gun.
Beast of a weapon! Awesome.
If I was a millionare, I'd get this but I got a mortgage to pay...still cool though.
Its only 4300. Just skimp on a few options on your next vehicle purchase and you will save at least that much.
Excalibur01 i Feel Ya
Wedelj For real? I'll get both soon then. I've already bought like 6 $2500-$3000 in the past few months. I am tired of low/entry level firearms. Buy the high end and save in the long-term.
what's it like living in the land of make believe?
TheSushiandme. You bought 6 $2,500-$3,000 guns in a few months ?
"hmm, interesting!" that's about as little-kid-excited Larry will let on but you can tell he had a lot of fun
Anyone else notice the fire in the background at 9:24 I wonder if they were shooting some tracer rounds? On another note, that .30-06 cartridge doesn't mess around. The plates looked like you were hitting them with a sledge hammer.
Anybody else watching this wish this firearm was in the division 2?
Also love the videos that Vickers does
Thank you for your long service to this country
U are one of my inspirations for choosing to join the military
I remember some of the South American countries still using BARs, I guess this would be a great upgrade for their police forces
We mostly use FALs down here
Gotta take a second to appreciate how beautiful the slow-mo and close up shots were
I was like that's awesome I think I'll get this.... as soon as he said $4300 I legit exited the video and said fuck that
If you're going to modernize the BAR, one thing that may be worth considering is a dust cover over the ejection port, assuming you want this weapon to be more a pragmatic tool than a curiosity.
Larry putting in the hard yards at the gym.
Bro, you're looking healthy! Keep training!
Awesome channel!
👍
:D
My grandfather was "blessed” with the bar in the pacific during ww2. The tripod came off 30 feet into the jungle on his first beach invasion. Even when folded it would catch on everything, and when running it would knock you clean off your feet if caught on the brush or leave you standing exposed trying to yank yourself clear of the entanglement.
If that hcar was in 308, and took fal magazines i would consider buying one.
Why not buy a FAL then?
expensive. just get a colt ar10 chamberd in 308.
A colt AR10 is much more expensive than a DSA Fal
Then WTF not just buy one of those other guns and be done with it?!?
Apples to oranges, Slick.
@@s1umerlinkropf FALs could be a bit more difficult to get match accuracy out of though, because they use a tilting bolt lock instead of flapper locks.
Awesome episode thx
I am looking at that HCAR and from an aesthetic point of view, it's a beautiful gun. However, I doubt it could be as practical as an m-4 or a g-36 in actual combat. It looks big and clumsy, way less manueverable.
Can you reach out and touch 1000yd with those?
Call me crazy, but this with the 20 inch barrel could be kind of a DMR ...
It would be so cool if the military adopted a full auto version of the HCAR
Full auto was removed from shoulder fired weapons for a reason.
I wonder if this weapon could handle a .458 SOCOM chambering. Also, how long do you think it'll be until the HCAR shows up in a Sci-Fi film? It's just itching for some Product Placement.
Actually I had the same thought, but I believe that the gas pressure just wokt work.
@@독도는한국땅-n2o .458 socom has a max pressure of roughly 35,000 psi. The 30-06 has a max pressure of roughly 58,000 psi. The HCAR could more than handle .458 socom, but given that the 30-06 has somewhere between 4-600 ft/lbs more muzzle energy, and significantly superior external ballistics, I don't know why you would want to make that switch. .458 socom is also more expensive.
Pretty sure the BAR could shoot 155mm howitzer if you really wanted it to
@@fnkdtnk I believe what he meant by the gas pressure just won't work is that the gas blow back system use to cycle the bolt won't have enough pressure to push it into cycling the bolt with the .458 socom, making the gun a bolt action rifle instead. Rifles are a delicate system.
@@manhphuc4335 going from higher pressures to lower pressures is as simple as changing out the springs. Lighter gas pressures will require lighter springs, but that is an easy fix. 35,000 psi is still a lot of force, the bolt on the hcar isn’t too heavy for 35,000 psi. Not to mention, you would need a new bolt face, and therefore a new bolt, so when converting to 458 socom, you would make sure the bolt would cycle with 35,000 psi.
That extractor really flings the brass on the receiver!
I can see that being a gnarly hog gun. Herrrre piggy piggy piggy!!
i usually hate tacticooled classic guns but this one is kinda neat to me for some reason
Beautiful weapon little steep for my Price Range but i could understand if i had it. that gotta shoot real nice an a 30-06 in that package would be devastating lol
That M1918 BAR is a monster, for that new version $ 4300.00 is way to expensive for the average gun enthusiast. Like my self.
The HCAR is wicked. I bet the spec ops guys would love that beast, SeALs especially.
best gun to watch the Browning BAR primarily seen carried by Pfc. Kirby on the gritty 1960s drama (combat) with Vic Morrow, and his Thompson sub-machine gun,
It's a sweet gun for sure, but at $4300 I'd rather build an AR-10 for half that.
At this price I'd rather Buy two HMG STG's chambered in 7.62x39,
Still, HCAR's a beast.
Sam Wagner Noreen OLR BN-36. Just under 2 grand.
Sam Wagner I agree!
I mean... it’s a 30.06 automatic, adaptable Battle Rifle. If that is made and sold cheap, then we’d have a LOT of backlash from the anti-gun community: “WHY IS THIS THING SO CHEAP?! IT’LL BE USED IN THE NEXT SCHOOL SHOOTING!!”
Then we’ll see 7.62 and other full rifle firearms being restricted.
So I’m guessing the high price is to satisfy the public in knowing that such a deadly weapon won’t be so easy to get. Also, I mean, would you really sell such a gun cheap?
The editing to this video is insane!
