Frank Iannamico Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I was sent a photo of a BAR magazine with a case-colored follower. Anyone familiar with such a mag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtrooper Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I purchased a beautiful blued BAR magazine that had a case colored follower a few years ago ... I was told that they are early magazines ... Possibly made during or shortly after WWI .... But who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim c 351 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Frank,Without looking ,I guess I have over a dozen blued BAR mags with color case harden followers.Some are stamped "s" on the body and floor plate and others have a small hole in floor plate.Not mentioned in the Jim Ballou book. That's why I hoped you would write a BAR book.Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normal1959 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I have a few Jim and they are beautiful. I am not fond of the parked mags. I am not opening all my wrapped and cased mags but they are probably parked also.Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The S&W 76 and the updated M14 book were my LAST two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
