The Warne Maxima base for Browning BAR is a one-piece, matte aluminum scope base for the BAR rifle (Warne part no. A996M). Warne models the Maxima Aluminum Bases on the Weaver design, with a low profile that keeps the rifle sleek. Paired with Warne Maxima QD Rings, it lets the shooter see the open sights over the top of the bases without giving up the normal shooting position. It is a fit-specific base made in the USA, so it goes on a BAR without any modification.

Key Specifications

• The base is made for the Browning BAR, a firearm-specific fit rather than a universal pattern.
• It is a one-piece base, which keeps the mounting surface continuous across the receiver.
• Construction is lightweight aluminum, which adds very little to the rifle.
• The design is modeled on the Weaver system, so Weaver-style rings fit.
• Mounting uses 6-48 screws, the screw size Warne lists for this base.
• A full-width recoil slot gives the recoil keys of Warne rings the most bearing surface.
• The base weighs 1.0 ounce, so it adds almost nothing to the rifle.
