Barrett

Over the course of the next five years, the Army will purchase 2,800 MK22 sniper rifle systems to the tune of $49.9 million.

Barrett is working full-time to supply the military with REC7 rifles and after that the company will begin selling them on the commercial market.

Barrett Firearms, showed up in force at the 2020 SHOT show with the MK22 MRAD Sniper System on the firing line for Industry Day at the Range. The MRAD sniper system, is a 3-barrel set, somewhat like a sporting clays shotgun, except these barrels are in 7.62, 300 Noma Magnum and 338 Norma Magnum.

One little-known company in Alabama is quietly making incredible stocks for the likes of Kimber and Proof Research. You’ll want to know about this little American gem.

I am not a shotgun connoisseur; that wasn’t really the style in my neighborhood unless we count very illegally sawed off versions. But the Barrett Sovereign shotgun I saw was staggeringly beautiful. If you had told me it was a $20,000 English shotgun, I would have believed it. But, with pricing starting at $2,200 and going up to $6,550, these are great deals for the money.

The new Fieldcraft rifle from Barrett is a svelte and handy little sporting bolt action rifle that delivers a lot of performance for just under $1,800.

Barrett is one of America’s truly great weapons designers, and the new 240 LWS from the company took the cake for change this year. The 240 family of weapons has been in service with the US military since the late 70s, and it was due for an overhaul. Barrett delivered one of those in spades with its new 240LWS.

From the Miculek channel, “You’ve seen him rapidfire the beast- but this time Jerry Miculek makes an outstanding, seemingly impossible shot using a 34 pound Barrett M107 50 caliber rifle, a Vortex Razor HD gen II JM, and Hornady 750gr A-MAX ammunition.”

What does a silenced .50 BMG sound like? I have no idea. I should, but we weren’t allowed to shoot it. The range where we were gathered today for the 2014 SHOT Show media shoot wouldn’t let us shoot it. So we had to sit back and look at it, which was almost as rewarding. The rifle they brought (complete with crates of .50 BMG) is an M107A1 with a QDL suppressor. Part of what makes this ambitious suppressor unique is the two-port brake that is bolted onto its end. This helps reduce the recoil, while still cutting the sound signature, and it can be removed to further reduce the visible signature as well. The QDL slides over the muzzle brake and can be installed or removed in seconds.
