The Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) model 1918 was developed by John M. Browning in 1917. Marlin-Rockwell Corporation, Colt, and Winchester made 85,000 rifles during WWI to meet the US military requirement. Ohio Ordnance Works, Inc. manufactures a semi-automatic version of this rifle; 1918A3-SLR (WWII version).

Every rifle is fully assembled, inspected, test-fired and re-inspected under the direct supervision of their master armorer. The entire manufacturing process is accomplished at their facility in Chardon, Ohio. Their team is made up of experts in the military ordnance field, with a combined 100 plus years experience in the trade.
