More than thirty years ago, Ronnie Barrett built something no one thought possible ‐ a shoulder‐fired .50 caliber rifle so innovative, the Army itself would sing its praises. From sketching his designs at the dining room table to working with a local tool and die maker to create parts that didn't yet exist, every millimeter of the Model 82 was a direct result of Ronnie's passion for the ultimate firearm.

That obsession still fuels our company today.

Headquartered in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Barrett is the world leader in large‐caliber rifle design and manufacturing. Our products are used by civilian sport shooters, law enforcement agencies, the United States military and more than 73 State Department approved countries across the world. The Barrett Quality Management System (QMS) has received the prestigious ISO 9001:2015 certification for the design and manufacture of firearms, ammunition, and accessories, and to provide training for those systems.

No matter how successful we become, however, our story keeps evolving. Because, at Barrett, we don't believe in resting on our laurels. In fact, we take great pride in thinking outside the box and exploring ways to continue to improve. After all, if there's one thing our success has taught us, it's this: You're only as good as your last accomplishment.

It's one thing to manufacture guns, and another to live and breathe them. Whether we're carefully assembling our latest rifle, engineering scope rings that are stronger than ever or increasing the velocity and precision of the ammunition itself ‐ we're always working with one goal in mind: "There's always a better way."

ENGINEERED FOR ACTION

What happens when you combine over 35 years of research and development with feedback from the most demanding military end users? You get the M107A1. While it may share the same iconic look and legendary reliability of legacy Barrett firearms, that is where the similarities end.

Utilizing state of the art design, manufacturing, and materials, every component of the rifle has been engineered to be lighter and stronger than its predecessors. In addition to a 4‐pound weight reduction, the M107A1 is optimized for use with a sound suppressor, providing a much‐needed signature reduction capability to the warfighter. Lighter, stronger, more accurate, and more capable; the M107A1 has truly been engineered for action.

THE POWERHOUSE RIFLE

The Model 82 is where the Barrett legacy began. Engineered as the first shoulder fired semi‐automatic 50 BMG rifle, the Model 82A1 has been proven in combat in every environment from the snow covered mountains, to the desolate deserts, and everything in between. Its low felt recoil and reliable repower delivers on target with every pull of the trigger. More than just a rifle, the Model 82 is an American icon.

FULLY LOADED

The bolt‐action Model 95 represents the ideal balance of size and performance. Its innovative bullpup design minimizes overall length without sacrificing ballistic performance or accuracy of the proven 50 BMG cartridge. Fed from a 5‐round detachable box magazine, the combat‐proven Model 95 is the pinnacle of simplicity for end users who demand precision, reliability, and power on the range or in the fight.

GET THE JOB DONE

Rugged. Reliable. Uncomplicated. The Model 99 is designed for one thing only: to get the job done. With its brilliantly simple design, hard‐core construction and surprisingly few moving parts, it offers match‐winning accuracy time and time again. Available in both 50 BMG and 416 Barrett, the Model 99 brings new levels of long‐range precision shooting. Known as much for its dependability as its versatility, the Model 99 has unfailing accuracy you can rely on.

MODULARITY WITHOUT COMPROMISE

Designed with both precision and modularity in mind, the MRAD is equally at home on the range or on duty. Its monolithic upper receiver is machined from 700‐series aluminum, including a full‐length M1913 Picatinny top rail with built‐in taper for long range precision.

With mounting slots at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, its hand guard offers a rigid, highly adaptable interface for attachment of rails, electro‐optics, and other accessories. Featuring a user‐changeable barrel system, the MRAD can quickly and easily be converted to one of 8 different calibers or multiple barrel lengths by simply loosening two bolts using a standard Torx wrench; no gunsmith required.

Contained within the lower receiver is a fully adjustable match‐grade trigger module, allowing the user to easily set their ideal pull. The MRAD stock folds on the right side, reducing overall width for a minimal footprint and ease of transport. When extended, the stock locks securely into place, providing an interface as rigid and stable as any fixed‐stock rifle.

With tool‐less length of pull and cheek piece height adjustment, the MRAD is easily configured to fit shooters of all shapes and sizes. The use of ambidextrous paddle‐style magazine release, left/right swappable thumb safety and AR15/M16 pistol grips makes the MRAD perfect for both right and left handed shooters. From competition to combat, the Barrett MRAD does it all.
