If you haven't read this, it's an amazing article - very well done. It's a long read, but has a TON of interesting information and history: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2023/04/11/the-history-the-story-of-barrett-firearms-with-ronnie-barrett/ |
“The difference between treason and patriotism is only a matter of dates.”
"And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his Gods."

Good read. I had a chance to get one of those Desert Storm USMC turn-ins and muffed it. Too bad. I hope Ronnie's faith in Nioa isn't misplaced. A lot of people are uneasy about that sale. I didn't realize the part about his son, Chris. I'd heard Ronnie sold out due to his age & wanting to retire. But selling seems like a very odd move with Chris being talented and available to take the reins. |

I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me and say "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

Also, given what other companies have done to long-standing firms when they buy them up (see freedom group/cereberus), can't be much worse. |

There was something I heard or read that they have to continue with manufacturing in TN for 5 years then who knows what happens after that. |
