The HCAR (Heavy Counter Assault Rifle) , developed by Ohio Ordnance Works, is a modernized Browning Automatic Rifle or B.A.R. The rifle is built on a modern chassis with integrated Picatinny rails at the 12 o’clock position, on the receiver, and forward on the handguard. The handguard can also be fitted with rail sections at 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock. The HCAR uses a hydraulic recoil buffer that tames the 30-06 recoil forces to the feel of a 5.56. The gas system has a three position regulator that includes suppressed fire. The Designers at OOW were able to achieve to an overall weight reduction of about 8 lbs. As previously mentioned, the HCAR is chambered in 30-06 and feeds from a 30 round magazine. M.S.R.P. on the rifle is $4,700 which isn’t cheap until you realize that you get a B.A.R. on steroids.
