I never could understand why Browning named their 1970 semi-auto 30-06 hunting rifle a BAR instead of a BSAR. The Browning M1918A2 is the real BAR.

I never heard a good explanation either. Perhaps it's something like imitation being the best form of flattery.

No one would try to market a modern sporting rifle named Chauchat.
