Well, when you take a person that has just graduated high school, give them the summer to travel Europe, then when they get back home and dad makes him head of the engineering department, that speaks volumes. When said son comes up with answers to questions that clearly fly in the face of common sense and physics, there's another clue. |

Really sucks to see an Australian company buy a Tennessee stalwart. Hope they don't pull civilian sales.
I remember when Thales pulled the civilian F90 from the US market because of the the New Zealand mosque shooting. Don't know anything about the group that bought Barrett, but at least they are private and in theory not influenced by the ESG bullshit that public companies like Thales deal with Wonder what happens to the Armory stores now. They took over Franklin Gun Shop somewhat recently |

Ronnie Barrett is 69 years old and has been busting his ass in the gun world, the world of politics and protecting 2A, and serving the military, maybe he thinks now is the time to punch out and rest on his laurels. He's done a lot, I think he deserves a chance to kick back and enjoy his grandkids without drawing the ire of the lunatic left and the woke bunch.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Wonder If they got Outpost Armory in the deal. I sure as fuck hope not. The Barretts own/owned (tbd) outpost armory. That doesn't necessarily mean Barrett Firearms owned it. Didn't they just buy the old Franklin Gun Shop? ETA: Outpost usually has things most places don't in regards to accessories and such. Not cheap but they've usually got a great inventory. |

I go to Outpost to finger fuck stuff before I buy it way cheaper on line. There was a time you could get good deals on bulk ammo at the old location but that was dead even before they moved into the new place and started selling to the loafer crowd. |
