Detachable magazines make sense. The BAR is a legendary semi-automatic hunting rifle. One reason was its exceptional magazine. Maintaining classic looks and Browning style, it's unique in that it features a detachable box magazine which easily snaps on/off the floor plate. Having an extra loaded magazine in your coat pocket while hunting is undoubtedly better than a coat pocket full of loose shells mixed in with your truck keys and that half-eaten granola bar you were saving for later.
