[QUOTE="merbeau, post: 1135828, member: 38494"] Posted on the reloading forum that I have just purchased my first Browning BAR in 7mm Magnum. After some research and from other forum members it is apparent that the BAR (just like for the M1 Garand) probably should not be shot with reloads using some of the newer slower burning powders like Retumbo because of the higher pressures at the gas port that could damage the rifle or cause a breech fire. I was reading an article that Schemke (sp?) makes an adjustable gas port for the M1A rifle that can be adjusted - I assume if using a higher pressure powder make the opening smaller to use less gas. Question: does any company make an adjustable gas port for the Browning BAR or can Browning Gas port pilots listed for example a 243 Winchester be substituted for the current 7mm magnum and allow for the use of slower powders.
