I'm running one on my 40 lb ELR gun with no issues, as are many others. Also, there is a hack using a washer or two to stabilize the factory bipod to keep it from flopping. |
Ellen; Clark, I think it'd be best if everyone went home... before things get worse.
Clark; WORSE? How could things get any worse? Take a look around here, Ellen. We're at the threshold of hell.

I am glad they had a backlog and were able to catch back up! |

I was looking on Army Air Force exchange today, if you can shop there they have an M107A1 for $12,275. https://www.shopmyexchange.com/barrett-m107a1-50-bmg-29-in-fluted-barrel-with-flip-up-sights-10-rnd-rifle-fde/2707471 If you use the "Star" card that 24,000 plus points or $240 on your reward card. I don't work for them but I do buy things there from time to time. |

Wow! That’s a great grab! I finally got an FDE a few weeks ago and it was definitely not 10.5k  Originally Posted By mike_0120: I found a steal recently on a M107A1 I paid $10.5K for one in green (no longer produced), with a Vortex HD Razor II in Barrett rings, 5 magazines, spare parts kit, 100rds of .50, and all the normal stuff in the factory hardcase. https://i.imgur.com/1aPJcak.jpeg |
| I'm still trying to get one. My dealer has pretty much flaked out on me for trying to order one for me, so I'm trying to some larger dealers. They are so back ordered they won't take individual orders, so I'm left trying to find a dealer large enough that they're in some special group that can place orders in August :( |

They were always heavily allocated. |

Selling your guns to a buyback because you feel criminals have too many firearms, is like getting yourself castrated because you feel the neighbors have too many children.

There's one at a new shop here in Knoxville. Smoky Mountain Gun Shop on Asheville Hwy. Went there over the weekend as they just opened recently. Counter guy asked me if I wanted to take a look at it. Told him no. I fired way too many of them and wasn't interested at all. He looked me like "You're so full of shit" I just smiled and went back to browsing. |
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.

I overlook people that shit talk others. They have very little to add to a conversation, so they try to bring others down. It must be a very pitiful life they lead. I really feel sorry for them. No, not really. I've had others talk shit. Doesn't bother me a bit. If it makes them feel better about themselves, let them have that little time in the sun. It's the only thing they have in life. If it bothers him that much, he can put me on ignore. That wouldn't bother me a bit. |

It makes me ponder what would it be like to work for a gun manufacturer. His positives and negatives while there makes me compare how it is at my shitty career. If I could get paid to be bored shooting .50’s, I’d quit and relocate right now to TN. |

I had a hell of a good time and was paid more. Only left Serbu as the wife wanted to move back to east Tennessee. Would you recommend the Serbu gas gun over the Barret? |

Originally Posted By QCMGR: Would you recommend the Serbu gas gun over the Barret? Yes. After helping with the Serbu when I was there, it is a much more accurate rifle. Takes Barrett mags. His lead time is a bit long. But he is a much smaller shop. Working at Serbu was a riot a minute. I laughed my ass off every day. And got an 870 Super Shorty out of it.

| I wish I would have just had faith and ordered one of the Serbu's when they first came out before they raised the prices. I just hoped I would get to see one in person first but to this day I've never seen one. When they first were about to be out they were looking hard for buyers at SHOT. Now they're up to $7700 and no new orders because of a 3 year backlog. |

Question, where did you guys get those cheek rest? Mine doesn't have one. Does Barrett sell them? |

I made one from an old mouse pad DAP glued to a piece of sheet metal that I formed to barely snap over the 82a1/M107's and M95's when I was shooting at a pretty steady pace. The constant recoil was really getting to my cheeks as I can shoot ambidextrous and would change over during heavy firing schedules. There were days I had a bruised cheek from shooting so much and finally decided to .are up something to lessen the battering my cheek and jaw was taking. |

Barrett m82a1 lower for sale https://www.gunbroker.com/item/942706575 |

That doesn’t seem like a good deal. I don’t think I’ve seen the uppers for sale except for at Barrett for $5400. Maybe if you could get a deal on one it would be worth it but it’s still too much for me. |

And that lower looks like an older one. The uppers and lowers were drilled for the takedown pins as a matched set. The upper and lower were a serialized set. The uppers and lowers started being drilled seperately to much closer tolerances to allow for switching uppers much easier. That started around 2001 when the GWOT started and the Army mandated complete interchangeability. You bought an upper, you would need the headspaced bolt. And a bolt is pricey also. You would come out better by purchasing a complete rifle. |

I should have probably snagged it but now it's gone.

This might explain why my 82 is horrendously difficult to get the front pin in and out. I literally have to smack and twist it into place. |
