If you are referring to your one being the older model, then you have a BAR not a Shorttrac which is a different rifle altogether. They are good and reliable too (I used to own one also) but very very heavy.

$700 is a good buy for a well looked after one too. I sold my old BAR for much more a few years back.

Yes, it's a BAR. I was referring to the latter ones which were made in Belgium but assembled in Portugal and had some minor differences in quality. I didn't make myself very clear. The BAR's are reasonably heavy but reliable.
