Yep, you sure don't find a Bar in such a great condition everyday. I hope you "ll be able to restore it. It looks almost complete and the parts that are missing can hopefully be replaced.

Re: hurtgenforrest 06-06-2008 BAR Rifle!!!
Interesting relic,
I'm wondering which side that weapon was fighting for, I carried a BAR many a mile, the finned barrel and pistol grip would indicate that one was not U.S. issue.

Indeed, this isn't a BAR but a WZ 28, used by the Germans.
