Ohio Ordinance's M1918A3 BAR

Some more information about the BAR at Wikipedia; M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle

I personally would like to have the FN Model DA1 which is the BAR with a pistol grip and setup for a quick change barrel system and easier stripping through the rear of the receiver.  I"d like one cut down like Bonnie and Clyde did with their BAR's.

Ian did a write up of the Model D BAR's here; FN Model D (BAR)

So what do you think?

A cut down BAR with quick change barrel and a pistol grip that weighs about 14 lbs and chambering 7.62X51, with good sights and possibly a picatinny rail for optics.

Would it make a decent General Purpose rifle?
