I just found this forum posted in the precision rifle 50 thread sorry too mods if not supposed too post in both places but heres my question .
I just bought a barrett M99 hunter its engraved on the side # 10 of 12 does anyone know the history of these ? Thanks |

I guess they did it as a one off kinda deal, regular models are steel. As to making more, that's up to Barrett if they do any other models in aluminum. Just remember that you have a rare model of a cool .50.
Kinda like finding a green AR-50, they're out there but you don't see them very often. |

Thanks for the help . I was told it was the rare of rare . Man this one is a handful with the weight I need too look at another one they must be like carrying a tank around. Cant wait too shoot it waiting on ear muffs too get here. Just might want to add plugs to that. Breaks do a great job of reducing the recoil. But boy o boy do they blow that blast right back at ya. |

| Thanks guys cant wait too shoot it actually the only reason I haven't yet is because I have no hearing muffs but I ordered them and they should be here soon everything I read said plugs and muffs it should be fun , What do you think shoulder firing this would be like ? |
That looks nice. I have a 99 with the 32" barrel. Brings a smile to my face every time. This guys shoots it standing up. HE has the 4 port brake. Go to 5:30. I'd be willing to try if I could hold it more steady. I guess that would be a good excuse to lift some weights.

| Nice video. Thanks for posting. How in the hell do you forget your hearing protection when shooting a 50 BMG? He is lucky he has any hearing at all. I use double hearing protection and still hear mine pretty good. OP, post a picture of your new toy in the 50 photo thread. |
