Barret 5.56 NATO Semi-Auto Rifle, 16" Barrel, Barrett Rail System/KeyMod Handguard, MagPul MOE 6-Position Stock, Burnt Bronze Receiver Md: 15984
After years of raising the bar on longrange shooting with our 50 caliber, Barrett has now created our next generation AR. We call it the REC7 DI, and, while incredibly light, it carries some truly weighty attributes. A highly customizable direct impingement rifle, the REC7 DI can be adapted to your specific preferences.
What’s more, in true Barrett tradition, this rifle is hand-built and intensely precise for accuracy that’s truly one of a kind. Shoot it thousands of times, drag it through the mud, submerge it in the water; whatever the case, it’s built to be reliable for years.
The REC7 DI is a lightweight, direct impinged operated semi-automatic rifle equipped with a match grade stainless steel barrel, Magpul MOE® furniture, Barrett designed 15” KeyMod handguard, Bravo Company Gunfighter charging handle, muzzle device, and ALG Defense ACT trigger.
The REC7 from Barrett. Shoots holes in every excuse.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 5.56X45mm NATO cartridge was designed by James Sullivan, a member of Eugene Stoner's engineering team that developed both the M16 rifle and its original cartridge. The 5.56X45mm NATO was adopted by the U.S. military in 1964 and by NATO in 1980. With bullet diameter of .224-inch, the original M193 military cartridge used a 55-grain bullet at 3250 fps; the current M855A1 cartridge, developed by FN, uses a 62.5-grain bullet at 3020 fps, offering greater range and better penetration. The civilian version of the 5.56X45mm is 223 Remington; the cartridges are dimensionally identical but military chamber dimensions and specifications for military brass are different. It is considered safe to use 223 Remington ammo in a 5.56X45MM NATO chamber, but not a good idea to use 5.56X45mm ammo in a rifle specifically chambered for the 223 Remington. Although the stopping power of .22-caliber bullets remains controversial the 5.56X45mm has served well in now multiple generations of M16 rifles.
