Barrett responded. "If there are any parts that you would want to purchase that are not listed, you can contact us and we could place an order over the phone with you." As others have stated, Barrett does seem to be a very good company to work with, and their staff, helpful. After considering that I really don't have a place to use this beast, I need to be sane and step away from the inclination to purchase. I still want one, but seriously, I just don't know if it's a good decision. If I'm experiencing ambiguity with a large sum of money on the line, the best practice will have to be to suspend the urge and hope it passes. Thank you all for talking some "sense" into me. Hopefully it continues to work. With every year that goes by, I grow in my acceptance that I have some gun issues. Join and Support the NRA | |||

^^^this The 82A1 has big brake, barrel on springs, whopping bolt, and kicks more (or only) like a high brass 12 ga. Even the report is tamer than a 300 win mag. It has a big dog bark, but not the crack of the small dog on your ear. What it DOES do is kick up a lot of wind and dust, so learn to shoot with your mouth closed, LOL. ------------------ The plural of anecdote is not data. -Frank Kotsonis | |||

My shoulder was more sore from a leisurely round of sporting Clay's with a 12ga than half a dozen from an M99. I was expecting shoulder abusing pain from it, and was quite surprised. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Space aside, if you want an M82 and you won't lose the house, well, get the m82  I wouldn't sell mine even if I moved to where I couldn't shoot it with any regularity. Just use it as an excuse to go visit a new range somewhere."Pickin' stones and pullin' teats is a hard way to make a living.

+1 on the recoil, it is actually quite tame, \ the muzzle blast can be brutal if you are standing in the area on either side of the shooter, and it will relocate much stuff from the ground ,, I remember a shoot in the fall when I did not sweep the area in front of me, and ended up covered in leaves after a few rounds https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||

Very tangential to the thread, but wouldn't that effect of the blast work give away a sniper's location? Either having to sweep beforehand, or the gun doing it shot by shot, you'd think that could indicate a sniper's whereabouts. How do the military users deal with that? | |||

Will the Barrett probably fit inside of the trunk of a sedan? Or even a smaller car? Join and Support the NRA | |||

I suspect at around ~1,200 meters and further out, most people wouldn't be able to see a few leaves and dirt fly around To the OP - I passed on one a handful of years ago as I was back in college and it wasn't in the cards at the time. The prices have gone up a bit, but not as much as I thought they would have. I have zero reason to own one other than "why not?" Maybe one day down the road I'll find one, but it's not high on my list. | |||

Broken down into two pieces for transport? Sure. The top receiver is removed and the barrel slides back into it leaving the bolt etc pinned within the lower assembley. The whole gun comes in a Pelican 1750 case, but other more manageable cases could be used "Pickin' stones and pullin' teats is a hard way to make a living.

My Boss had one, one with the older plastic cases, not the Pelican. He offered, but I never shot it. I had the pleasure of cleaning it a couple of times. he eventually decided to sell it. As I remember, it cost in excess of $125.00, just to ship it to its new owner. After a couple of months without it, he decided to buy another. This was a newer model with the Pelican case. I enjoy cleaning this one as well. It is incredibly well built, IMO. He has a farm out in the country, where we can shoot at 300+ yards. So, no I have never owned one. Not sure I would have a use for one. However, my Boss has owned 2 and I don't see him selling the one he has, any time soon. Niech Zyje P-220 Steve | |||
