You may know them from their semi-auto version of the M1918 BAR as well as a truly updated for the 21st Century version of the BAR. (Although those are a topic for another thread.) OOW belong to OGCA and set up every show. They always have some wonderful firearms for sale. They definitely have some neat stuff.

No. The only milsurp rifesl I have nowadays are SKS rifles, Swiss Rifles and Mosin Nagants. |
