Very nice

 

WOW! Very nice and hard to find.

 

Here is a photo of a variation of the post WW1 Model 1918 BAR (photo from Billy Pyle)

Also a photos of the bipod issued in 1937 for the BAR

I'm not 100% sure he's a gun guy, but he's welcome to come to the range with us anytime.

 

Great gun! The Swedish 6.5x55 model has to be the sweetest shooting BAR.

 

Not to mention the finest finnished MG I have ever seen.Would love to fire one someday,a few deactivated examples are over here.

 

Wonderful!

 

Easy to spot the Polish....since the rear sight is on backwards. LOL

 

There is a two volume book on those. It is Called "Ręczny karabin maszynowy Browning wzór 1928" and written in Polish, published 2021. You could order it here: RKM wz.28 książka .

The book is amazing - despite I can't read Polish (but Google Translator does help with that!) I can assure you it is very well researched, perfectly organized and contains about everything one could know on those. Atop of that, it has tons of period pictures, as well as pictures of every small detail and part you can imagine.

 

Oh man... Now that's one of those things I'd very much like to have in my collection but I know I never will.
Congratulations.

 

Very, VERY nice firearm….and I would think VERY hard to find as well. One thing that has always puzzled me about the BARs is the small magazines. Holding so few shells, they must have been changing out mags constantly in the heat of battle.

 

No puzzle. It's a limitation of ground clearance that top-mounted magazines avoid.

Yeah, I always wondered how useful in reality are 40 rds mags for RPK. I know that RPK bipod is much bigger than wz.28, but still...

 

New Acquistion...
The Browning wz.1928 is a Polish version of the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle.

Please, keep it in good shape. Not many of them left. after WW2 they were destroyed both in the west and the east as "non standard".
Some even might still be held somewhere in IDF deep storage. I have seen couple ex Polish Mausers back in collectors market, some marked 7.62
Czech ZB LMG ( see Bren) had more luck.

I can have slightly castrated Thompson or STEN, but not this one ... "evil machine gun"
while STEN has only one part replaced and it is ok civilian semi-auto pistol. :-D

 

Wz.28s are well built and look great.

 

🤤

 

 

He's in for a surprise if he tries to fire a burst.

Late to the party, but what fine acquisition you've got

 

It's only in temporary custody. I don't really collect these.

 

It's really cool. You are parting with it?

 

I can't keep everything.

 

From a good and trusted source, it appears INTERARMCO brought from Finland in 1960 48 Polish BARs.
A very rare gun here in the US.
