The Barrett model M107A1 .50 BMG rifle system is a semi-auto action rifle with a 29" chrome-lined barrel with a Supp Rdy Muzzle break. Included is a pelican case, one 10-round magazine, carry handle, flip-up iron sights, M1913 optics rail, detachable adjustable bipod legs, sling attach points, cleaning kit and owner's manual. Scope and suppressor not included on this model.It may be related to the Model 82A1®/M107®, but the M107A1 is far from a simple evolution. Driven by the demands of combat, every component was re-engineered to be lighter yet stronger. The result? A high-performance rifle that weighs four pounds less than the original M107, but is every bit as tough.
Designed to be used with a suppressor, this one-of-a-kind rifle allows you to combine signature reduction capabilities with the flawless reliability of the original Barrett® M107. A bolt carrier group has been designed that is key to making the rifle suppressor-ready. its titanium four-port muzzle brake is engineered to work seamlessly with a quick-attach Barrett .50 BMG Suppressor.
The lightweight aluminum upper receiver features an integrated, rigid 27 MOA optics rail. Inside the upper receiver, the bolt carrier rides on a hardened steel, anti-wear strip for added durability. A thermal-guard cheek piece protects the user’s face from extreme heat or cold.
Advanced design and manufacturing make the M107A1 more precise than ever. The rear-barrel stop and front-barrel bushing are bolted and bonded with a compound similar to that used on space shuttles. A titanium barrel key and fully chrome-lined bore and chamber add to the rifle’s durability.
Enhanced modularity is also a key feature. The rifle’s rail-mounted aluminum rear grip can easily be reconfigured. The titanium and polymer monopod is easily adjustable from either side.
The M107A1 rifle’s lower receiver includes an aluminum recoil buffer system that’s optimized for use with a suppressor. The bolt carrier’s components are protected with a mix of ultra-hard PVD coatings and advanced nickel Teflon® plating that increases lubricity, is corrosion-resistant and greatly eases cleaning.
Numbered witness holes on the magazine are just another example of how even the smallest detail makes a powerful difference.

particular item.
The 50 Browning Machine Gun (50 BMG, 12.7X99mm) cartridge was developed by John Browning in 1918. His heavy machine gun was adopted in 1923 and, amazingingly, has been in service ever since. The current military M2 cartridge uses a 720-grain .510-inch bullet at 2810 fps, developing 12,600 ft-lbs of energy and offer an effective range of at least 3000 yards. In a heavy machine gun the 50 BMG is simply awesome, but in recent years Ronnie Barrett's big bolt-actions designed around the 50 BMG cartridge have given this old warhorse an entirely new dimension. Spurred by feats of military snipers in Southwest Asia, civilian long-range shooters are now enjoying the 50 BMG. With new interest and new uses 50 BMG ammunition is getting a much-needed facelift, with both match-grade ammo and bullets designed for hunting being added to the mix.
