The Swedish m/21 BAR in 6.5x55mm
This video dives into the history and specifications of the Swedish m/21 BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) chambered in 6.5x55mm. It details Sweden's early adoption of light machine guns, their purchase of 700 commercial Colt BARs configured to Swedish requests (pistol grips, mid-mounted bipods), and subsequent domestic production by Carl Gustafs Stads starting in 1923. The evolution to the m/37 model with a quick-change barrel is also covered, highlighting its service as Sweden's standard support weapon until the late 1950s and limited use into the 1980s. The description also promotes the channel's Patreon, Floatplane, and merchandise.
