Barrett 99A1

[blacksheep]

Any of you guys have one of these, your opinions please because I want a .50 before Obama and the dims outlaw them.

Wish I had one for various reasons, but when you get it can I shoot it?

 

[DilloMan]

I got one. It is accurate as hell. I do wish it had a magazine. The barrel is also steel so you need to keep an eye out for rust. Overall-Awsome.

I couldn't help but notice your location is Illinios. What's up with that?

I'm from Houston, covered it in a newbie thread, soon i'll be back in Texas.atriot:

I do not have one and I used to dream about a nice .50. Nowadays I am seeing the benefits of having a .338 or similar big bore. True, it is not as big and burly as the .50 but it is much less likely to get banned and probably more affordable.
I liked the Ar-30. I am into pistols now so a good rifle is low on my list but the guys I know who have .50 BMG rifles really love them.

I've got an M99 and love it.

I can't justify a M82A1 or a M107 but a 99A1 I can do, have a great dealer that will let me do a layaway as long as it's paid off by 12-31-09.

Wow, good dealer.

Wow, good dealer.

I'll give him a plug, I found him on gunsamerica.com and his business name is Union Outfitters out of WV.
John ( JC ) is a good dude and the only guy I buy from these days, the customer service is the best I've seen.atriot:

I recently purchased the LAR .50 but have not fired it yet.....still collecting ammo. I preferred the LAR because of price, longevity of production, and the fact it fits easily into my safe. Supposedly, the LAR is exceptionally accurate and is equipped with a 36" barrel.

I definitely owe an apology here...certainly did not mean to hi-jack your post. New guy here not familiar with the proper etiquet (sp?....at least I'm familiar with the word since my gf constantly reminds me!) I wish I could have gotten a Barrett but cost/availability did me in. I am happy I was able to get a .50 in spite of the current "administration" but, hopefully, things will get back to normal and builders will be able to satisfy a market for AR-type uppers in AR's in a reasonable amount of time.

Barrett's rule as far as I'm concerned.....hope we can make "noise" together someday!

Holy cow!

248 grains of powder with a 655 grain FMJ.

FYI - I was in Little Rock, AR last week. There is a shop called Shooters Gallery or Don's Weapons that had a Barret .50 (model 99) for like $3500. They had it sitting on the floor, I didn't notice if it was new or used.

 

[blacksheep]

Update, just sent out my final payment and shouldn't more then a week till I got it in my hot little hands.

YEAH BABY !atriot:

Gander Mountain in Spring has a .50 cal in the case for ~$3999.00 if I remember correctly....I believe it is a single shot?
