GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The Browning BAR ShortTrac and BAR LongTrac (BAR ST/LT) are
gas-operated, autoloading rifles. With cartridges in the magazine and
the chamber and the “safety” in the off safe position, the rifles will fire
a single cartridge with each successive pull of the trigger until the
magazine and chamber are empty. When the last cartridge has been
fired, the bolt locks in its rearward, open position. This facilitates
speedy, convenient reloading. All photographs in this owner’s manual
depict a BAR LongTrac rifle, however, both rifles operate identically.
