Product details & history

This 'winter' soldier is standing at-ease with his M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle by his side.
The B.A.R. was one of a family of American automatic rifles that entered service late in 1918 and continued throughout WW2, the Korean conflict and even as late as the Vietnam War!
Utilizing a 20-round box magazine the B.A.R. fired the standard 30-06 round (the same as the WW1 '03 Springfield Rifle'). Eventually in 1957 it began to be replaced by the machine gun as the standard S.A.W. Squad Automatic Weapon.

Materials & Construction

Hand-painted mixed-media collectible. Figures are primarily cast metal, while vehicles, scenic pieces, and accessories may combine polystone, resin, metal, and plastic components. The exact material mix varies by model.

Collector Care

Display indoors away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture. Handle the piece by its base—not by weapons or small accessories—and remove dust gently with a soft, dry brush. Do not use water or household cleaners.

Scale & Dimensions

Designed to complement King & Country's approximately 1:30 scale range. Figure height, vehicle footprint, and accessory dimensions vary by set; check the product description for model-specific details.

History & inspiration

A veteran design at rest

The BAR is lowered and its gunner has stopped for a moment. Rather than showing automatic fire, this figure lets the weight and familiarity of the weapon become the subject. He represents the American infantryman carrying his squad's mobile fire support through the winter fighting.

The Browning Automatic Rifle was already an older design by 1944: it had entered service near the end of the First World War. It would continue well beyond the Second. That long service life makes the weapon a useful thread between generations of American soldiers, even in this very specific winter setting.
