Canadian here: You want three layers. First layer, is something thin and light. This will help regulate the temperature at your skin which can prevent excessive sweating and will wick sweat away and let it easily evaporate. This is a serious issue if you're doing heavy physical labor, because in the intense cold you CAN NOT remove your layers. Second layer is your heavy thermal layer, ideally it's made of a modern composite fiber that is breathable. If not then any thick fabric attire will do like sweaters. Wool/fleece is preferable over normal polyester. Ideally the top will include a hood. This layer you can double up for extreme cold. Third layer is your weather layer, and it needs two important features: it must be waterproof and windproof, with an integrated hood and a length that goes below the waist. If it's made of modern composite materials like Goretex then that's even better as this will help keep all the layers from getting soaked with the water your skin naturally loses even when you're not sweating. I did a winter night hike in Algonquin Park in Ontario, it hit -40C without wind. I had modern cold weather attire with these three layers, with the addition of a wool balaclava and -40C rated boots and gloves. Other than feeling the cold start to seep into my toes and fingers if I stopped moving, I was perfectly comfortable. It was an incredible experience, the sky was so clear when it's that cold and still and the stars were so bright. EDIT: recommended cotton when I meant wool/fleece.

@Clean97gti
@Clean97gti 7 ай бұрын
Why would we go back? The only reason it stuck around as long as it did was because we had so much leftover in the interwar period and all our machine guns already used it. Whether it was a good move or not, the cartridge that would become 7.62 NATO was essentially a shortened version of the M2 Ball ammo used in the M1 Garand. The 7.62 NATO (both M59 and M80) operates at a higher pressure than the M2 Ball ammo but delivers a similar weight bullet at about the same 2800fps velocity. One of the big complaints with the .30-06 is that it is a heavy recoiling powerful round, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to go to so much effort creating a shorter case and cartridge, only to have it recoil just as hard. About the only thing they gained was a weight savings from the cases being 12mm shorter, and the rifles and machine guns are easier to make and work with because they don't have to deal with such a long case. It's not a surprise that less than 10 years later, the .223 took its place as the standard infantry round.

Current procedure from what I remember from Basic Winter warfare is every day, move the working parts (Cock the action, dry fire etc), especially the safety and magazine release, as those are prone to freezing. In really extreme temperatures, avoid using CLP in favour of graphite. My course was in -25 degree Celcius blizzards in CFB Petawawa, and I found our issued CLP made the parts far less likely to freeze up entirely, even after being outdoors for 2 weeks straight.

@@ReanuKeevesAus I highly recommend retirement to you also, brother! I would definitely get an HCAR if you are a fan of the BAR, which I have been since childhood. Otherwise, you might want to pass, just given the expense. Sounds like you are a fan and that it has a sentimental aspect for you. Ohio Ordnance Works (OOW) put it in a lot of effort to lighten the rifle including use of non-metallics and the shorter dimpled barrel, but they also did additional machining on the receiver to lighten it where possible. The M1918A2 weighed about 18.5 lbs. and the HCAR weighs about 11.75 lbs. which is quite a bit less but still heavy. I love the rifle. It's super reliable, robust, extremely well made, accurate, and I am a big believer in the 30-06 round. It also has very little kick, compared to a 30-06 deer rifle due to it's weight. I have fired about 1,000 rounds through it with no issues (factory ammo) using OOW and heritage magazines. The picatinny is great and I have used both reflex sights and a scope on it to great effect. I wound up leaving a variable power Leupold scope on it because I don't see using it for close-up work and my eyes need the help. It can still reach out there with the 16" barrel. The adjustable stock is a big plus and you can use any number of aftermarket AR stocks on it. I have not put a light on it just to keep weight off the front end and, as I said, I don't see using it for clearing rooms (maybe shooting through walls to destroy what's in the room). I think a must-have is a good sling and, in spite of Garand Thumb's expert opinion, a good bipod. I put a Magpul MS1 QDM sling and an Atlas PSR bipod (I am a big fan of the Atlas bipods, but a good old Harris would do fine). You can certainly forego an optic and just put some AR-type iron sights on the picatinny which is what I did when I first got it until you decide if you even need or want an optic on it. It is a unique firearm that puts a modern spin on an absolute classic and makes it better in the process. I love just pulling it out of the safe and looking at it, much less having the pleasure of shooting it. You are not likely to see another one at the range and it is a real head-turner. I like having some unique guns in my collection. Another way to commemorate your service and that of your Grandpa's at much less expense, might be with a Model 1903A3, the WWII iteration of the Springfield Model 1903. It is a bolt-action rifle with a Mauser action and an internal 6-round 30-06 magazine. The 30-06 was actually created for the Model 1903 rifle. The A3 has a windage and elevation adjustable rear peep-sight located at the rear of the receiver which was a great improvement over the original tangent sight located at the rear of the barrel. It saw widespread use with the US military in the European and Pacific theatres of WWII and beyond (you probably know all of this). They are widely available in excellent condition, accurate, and a pleasure to shoot. I have a few of them and they are actually my favorite rifles. I wish you all the best and am sure you would be well-pleased with an HCAR.

Maybe. The US hasn't used .30-06 in 60+ years. Most of the US surplus .30-06 is long gone. There is some Korean made stuff kicking around that is corrosive. Every once in a great while, you come across some Greek surplus, but by-and-large, you're buying new commercial ammo. I'd say .308 has taken over that spot just because its still in common use and is relatively cheap for target ammo. And .30-06 won WW2? Odd, because the Russians used 7.62x54R

@@phoenix4ever367 .30-06 is just too long for a modern weapon system. It sits in kind of this awkward spot where it's not really any more powerful than it's contemporaries. It can be more powerful (so can 7.62x54R and 8mm Mauser) but you have to load it to higher pressure with heavier bullets. But then, if you're going to have such a long cartridge who's sole benefit is long range power, you might as well just use one of the many magnum cartridges out there.

Nicely done. I bought one of the first run of 250 on the HCAR. Yes, it was expensive, but the only drawback for me was that, just a few weeks later, Ohio Ordnance Works brought out their prototype of the Colt-licensed, WWI spec 1918 BAR in blued finish, with its magnificent Italian made leather case. I couldn't justify both, and the 1918 was even more expensive. Had I waited just a little longer, I'd have known that the 1918 was coming and bought that instead. But that's life. Other than that, no complaints about the HCAR. It's a magnificent rifle and the folks at OOW are great to work with, from the owner on down. I've done much business with them over the past 15 years or so and look forward to seeing them next month at SHOT.

They called it "walking fire" in those days late in WWI, and the BAR was designed to clear trenches and break the deadlock of stalemated trench warfare.

@ Nate Jones - it is also known that certain mob figures had gun-smith work done to create one-off extended magazines for pistols like the M1911 45ACP. Baby Face Nelson had one with extended mags so he'd have to reload less-frequently in shoot-outs. It isn't out of the realm of possibility that Clyde Barrow had similar work done to extend his BAR mags. I can't really see where he'd do that, because he was very concerned about keeping his BAR compact. He shortened the barrel so it would be easier to deploy from an automobile. Texas Ranger Frank Hamer and his men, the ones who finally took out Bonnie and Clyde in Louisiana in a carefully-staged ambush, used BARs among their weapons. I guess that's known as fighting fire with fire.

I can already imagine BSG putting this in Tarkov and one shot is enough to make you stare into the sky, don't even think about a second shot, that will break your spine. (next wipe, fix the recoil of EFT pls)

My first thought was, "this is cool, but who wants to carry around a 20lb rifle?" then I googled the total weight, under 12lbs. That is extraordinarily impressive compared to the original BAR. My 5.56 AK weighs almost 12lbs..

I first learned about this weapon from Kentucky Ballistics. And I want one sooo bad. Just because I know the round can stop almost any threat and well, it's semi auto badassery. Granted they are prone to jams but still, usually easy to clear in 2-3 seconds
