The Swedish must have really loved the BAR. Variants of the design remained in use all the way until the 1990s.
The photo looks like a Kg m/21, which was made in the USA by Colt on a contract for Sweden, with certain Swedish specific specifications like the pistol grip.
The BAR is such a stylish weapon. I love seeing it.
A shame the Monitor never caught on. I find it incredibly aesthetic and staying true to the original intended purpose of the BAR.
