**MARLIN-ROCKWELL 1918 BAR (C & R). SN 31955. Cal. 30-06. Bbl length is 24″. This is an extremely attractive example of the 1918 Browning Automatic Rifle as manufactured by Marlin Rockwell. Bbl is dated “8-18” with flaming bomb arsenal mark below a “W”. Rear of bbl also has flaming bomb proof mark. Front of receiver just to rear of bbl has crossed cannons proof mark. Bipod and flash hider are included however no magazine is present. This weapon has correct early style gas port nut. Also has correct checkered wooden forend. This weapon appears to be of all orig vintage parts with the exception of the bipod and flash hider. Firing mechanism operates smoothly when operated by hand. This weapon appears functional. PROVENANCE: Collection of Carl “Bill” Morrison. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is fine with about 50% coverage of finish to metal parts due to thinning and patina on bbl and receiver. Gas tube and bipod legs have a deeper more charcoal color finish. Buttstock and forearm have some handling marks. The forend has a repaired crack about 1/4″ down from the left side running 10″ longitudinally parallel to the upper edge. There is also evidence of some previous charring of the wood due to excessive heat from the bbl. There is also a repaired chip in the forend on the left side about 1/2″ long about 2″ forward of the receiver. Forend and buttstock have been refinished. Bore is in need of a cleaning and dark in the grooves. Bolt and receiver also need a cleaning but bolt face seems extremely fine underneath the grime. This is a great example of an early Browning Automatic Rifle. 4-48668 JWK25 (17,500-27,500)
