It depends on the model. Most are made in Japan. High end shotguns are still made in Belgium for custom orders. Some pistols are made in Belgium and assembled in Portugal.
From my understanding when they stopped making them in Belgium and started with the Jap models, sales fell off so they went back to making the parts in Belgium then had them shipped to Portugal for final assembly.. due to labor being in expensive..
Your browning model BAR which was made in 1985 should say either made in belguim on the barrel,or made in belguim assembled in portugal on the barrel.
