Yeah, I'm not crying for someone with a BAR, my friend! 
The Marlins are merchandise but some like the BAR are legends and history. I was just getting one of my Garands ready for the next range trip and admiring the pure classic utility and beauty of a WWII weapon.
Anyway, you got me thinking about a Ruger Carbine now. Sounds useful and fun.
Yes,the BAR does set the bar a little high even with the M14's and M1's in the rack next to them . I wonder how many 'plastic' guns will become CLASSICS?
