Browning BAR MK3 DBM 7.62x51 NATO Black Rifle

A: Hi Matthew and welcome. This rifle has a 18" Hammer Forged Barrel with Sporter Contour and 1:12" Twist rate. It will do relatively well with reasonable time between shots. Consistent, sustained fire will heat up the barrel and groups will string. That's just the nature of the beast with thin barrels as you already know. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

A: As James explained, just time in-between shots and this should perform just fine for some down range target enjoyment.

A: controlled shots will do fine mag dumps will not

A: Hi Octavio, no sir, this has a fluted non-threaded barrel. Stay safe & have a great day!

A: I hope, since your gunsmith couldn't modify the mag properly, that they didn't charge you? I don't know what type of modification he tried but below is a link to a very simple solution to block the mag to the Necessary 5 round compliant capacity. https://www.magazineblocks.com/magento/browning-bar-mk-3-dbm-5-10-magblock-hunting.html
