Ditto the BAR, as well as the A5, and a host of Winchester Rifles. And for you 9 mill fans, the Browning Hi-Power. The closest anyone’s come are Ruger, Stoner and Kalashnikov. and except for Ruger, the body of work isn’t even close.

For my money, the greatest 3 designers of the 20th century were Browning, Stoner and Kalashnikov. Great men, all.

Not too thrilled with Kalashnikov's politics, but he designed one of the most sucessful rifles in the world.

Well that settles it then.

I owe it to history to buy myself a Browning Hi-Power!
