Description: utreon.com/c/forgottenweapons patreon.com/ForgottenWeapons Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! shop.forgottenweapons.com After World War Two, FN put the BAR back into production. This was initially the FN-D version with a quick-change barrel, but with NATO's adoption of the 7.62mm cartridge, there was a demand for the BAR in that chambering. The Belgian Army adopted this new round, and plenty of other nations did as well. This prompted FN to release a new version of the FN-D for it, designated the FN-DA1. In addition to the new chambering, the DA1 also had these three changes: - Larger bipod feet and a wider bipod stance - A rear aperture sight instead of an open notch - A more protected barrel release latch The FN-DA1 would remain in production until 1967, when it was finally discontinued.
