looking for 1 anyone know where i can find one thanks.
if no any other 50's worth looking at in semi . |

Awesome dude. Met Lin at the July FCSA match. He can likely get you the best price and quickest delivery out there...Guy's the number one Barrett dealer in the country. -David Edgewood, NM |
|
I never could get Lin to call me back. Did you call KGI? I called everyone and they were the only place I could find that had them in stock. Everyone else said 6 to 9 months for ETA.

Everyone else said 6 to 9 months for ETA. www.knesekguns.com So far Barrett has only been letting out 100 each M107's out to the mainland public each year since 2005. So, so far only 400 total have even been put out, unlike the 82 series. And the M107a1 is troop use (counter-sniping) only from what I understand, but I may stand corrected on that. I can tell you this that I love my M107.

Are you sure that is still the case. I know at least one distributor that has them sitting in stock right now |

I did not find out why, as I proceeded to extract the info from them on my 2 orders. Anyway, the M107 and M82 series are very close to being identical with minor improvements on the M107 and M107A1. |

| The only differences are the spiked bipod, different model number and what is included in the case.. Extra mag, mono pod etc. It has been discussed many times that the weapon itself is identical in form and function.... Just a different model number... It actually helps the guys in Conn... as their laws specifically ban the M82 not the M107..... |

Yep, that and a lengthened accessory rail. Where is it lengthened? My 82 had a rail the whole length of the top? It also came with the otis kit Just out of curiosity I called Barrett earlier and I stand corrected about the rail length, because I was informed that they are the same. Just as I have said and others the M107 and M82 series are nearly identical. The bipod is spiked on the M107 and not on the M82 series. The monopod comes with the M107 and costs $148 (from Barrett) if you want a monopod for a M82 series weapon. The only other tiny thing that I can think of is the take down pins and the stamping of the model of weapon. But, I did want you to know that I was wrong on the rail length. Sorry about the bad intel. My bad. 
I did get confirmation that they usually only let out 100 each M107's each year, except for the 1st year, which they let 200 out. I was informed by one of the Barrett employees that they are getting ready to let another 100 each out for the public to buy. |

so is the 107 a good choice or is there a better option? i like the semi over the bolt. I say Barrett rifles. Either the M82 series or M107. Plus, their BORS system is bad ass with a good scope, and is very accurate at very long ranges, with the capability of bringing so much firepower in semi mode, that many targets will be dispatched of rather fast. But I'm biased as I have a M107 w/ BORS.

Everyone always says you are lucky to get 2-3 MOA out of the rife. What are you getting? |

Everyone always says you are lucky to get 2-3 MOA out of the rife. What are you getting? Well it took me less than 40 rds to be able to sync the BORS with the Leupold 8.5-25x50, and zero it where every shot was within the bulls eye at 100 yds with a 25 yard target. The f*cked part for me is when I was trying to zero the BORS per Barrett, the RO made me go shoot 4 inch dia clays at 84 yds (I ranged it) then after wasting 10 rounds blasting to hell their clays, I had to go back to the 100 yd line, insert the correct data into BORS and re-zero. I still nailed the bull eye over and over at the end, but it took more calibration / zeroing. I don't go up to any of my targets with a pre-conceived notion that I'm looking for sub-MOA or MOA. I just zero my optics to be able to take a head off at 100 to 200 yds. And now I ask you how well you are shooting with your .50? |

Quoted:
And now I ask you how well you are shooting with your .50? Mine is being built as we speak, but I have shot sub MOA with an AR50. But, we have only been able to fire his out to 200 yard so far. I'm not trying to get a in a pi$$ing match here, it is just that everyone kind of bad mouths the M82 familily of guns and I always want to find out if they are full of it or not. I'm sure someone out there can get good accuracy (better than 2 MOA and hopefully close to 1 MOA) out of that platform, but you never hear them speak up. Even in the most recent edition of Special Weapons, they say that the M107 was chosen by Marines for its accuracy and it raises my curiosity. That quote in the article makes me wonder if there are accuracy differences in the ones that our boys have out there busting bad guys and the ones that us meager civilians can get our hands on. |

That quote in the article makes me wonder if there are accuracy differences in the ones that our boys have out there busting bad guys and the ones that us meager civilians can get our hands on. I also am not looking for a match either. Especially if your shooting sub-moa out at 200 yds with this caliber. That is excellent shooting. I admit that the private, yet open to the public 1000 yd range about 20+ miles from my OP is sweet. I do plan on much further shooting up to 1000 yds as it is allowed there. Lately though, the last few trips I have been concentrating my zeroing for other caliber weapons and optics. I think that the M82 series and M107 series of Barrett weapons have been proving that they work damn good at long range with an untold amount of terrorists/insurgents/raghead tali's being dusted by these weapons. I also believe if these weapons were not fulfilling their designated combat role and requirement, and our troops were being killed due to any problems with these, then I'm positive someone could leak the intel and thus validate it. I believe the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and Homeland Security also use these exact rifles from Barrett, and they could pick whatever they would have wanted, so again that tells me what I already knew, and that the M82 and M107 series of Barrett .50BMG semi-auto rifles can, will and do get the job done. On a side note- Barrett is any day, if not already, getting ready to let out a bunch of M107's, per Barrett employee.
