Owner's Manual

GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The Browning BAR MK 3 is a gas-operated, autoloading rifle. With

cartridges in the magazine and the chamber and the “safety” in the off

safe position, the rifle 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.

NOMENCLATURE

In conventional firearm terminology the position and movement of

firearm parts are described as they occur with the firearm horizontal

and in the normal firing position: i.e., the muzzle is forward or in

front; the buttstock is rearward or to the rear; the trigger is downward

or underneath; the sight is upward or on top. For general parts

nomenclature, refer to Figure 1.

SERIAL NUMBER

The serial number is located on the left side of the receiver, above the

trigger guard. Record this number in the space provided at the front

of this owner's manual for future reference.
