It's a good thing Texas law lets you protect two firearms from creditors, even if you file for bankruptcy. With almost unendurable anxiety and trepidation, I'm in.
M82A1. $6570. Damn, that hurts. |

Quoted: M82A1. $6570. Damn, that hurts. Wow Mr. Phineas_J_Whoopie! You went straight to the top. Tell me how nice it is to be able to afford that...please offer some assurance that I'm going into the right profession. At this point, I couldn't scrape up the cash for a dozen rounds of milsurp ammo to feed this thing. I look forward to being "in" on a whole lot more of these group buys in the future, just got to pay off all these law school loans first. [pissed] |

For those of you on the fence, consider buying one of these, especially the M82, as an investment [:D]
First off, SA's price is a bargain. But also consider that these puppies are on the short list for banning by the gun grabbers. If they become illegal to sell to civilians, there's going to be a lot of "Why didn't I buy one when they were $7,500?!?" remorseful buyers out there. |

I'm trying to save up (IE convince myself to put it on plastic) for registered sears, and I have SteyrAUG here peddling his low priced DSA FALs, and now BARRETTS! Damn you Steyr! BTW, I know a dealer back in CO who was a big Barrett stocking dealer. He always had several models in his shop at a time. I think he got a price break since he ordered so many because he had the best prices I had seen... Until now. Steyr's prices here beat his prices by HUNDREDS of dollars. Hell, the 82 is over $500 cheaper from Steyr. So I'm kicking myself for not having the dough to jump in on this opportunity... |

Steyer, those have got to be the best prices I've seen on Barrett .50BMG's. If someone can find a better deal, I'd be amazed. I know people give you crap, but [b]thanks a bunch for organizing this group buy.[/b] I may not be able to buy one, but I greatly appreciate you going through the effort to hook people up.
Part of me says do it, and the other part of me says it's the most financially irresponsible thing I could do with my tax return. But boy would it be fun! Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas... |

Is the 99 a shell holder? I was all hot and bothered till I saw the parts diagram, and the bolt looks like a holder? Confused....

Me and the fine people from Barrett got this one worked out at the Shot Show. I really wanted to do this in light of Ronnie Barretts letter to the LAPD. Also for anyone on the fence, this will be a ONE TIME ONLY kinda deal. It won't be like the Serbu Group Buy where I will do another in the future at the same price. I plan on doing only this Barrett Group Buy and I don't think they will give me, or anyone else, similar pricing in the future. |

The Model 99 is not a shell holder type weapon.
It's a true bolt action rifle like a Remington yet without an internal magazine. |

Probably will be 'till the last minute. No problem with the prices, they are fantastic, but I am buying an M16 next week. Not sure I can convince my wife that we "need" the M82A1. Maybe I can "sneak" a 99 without her noticing.[:D] |

This is pretty tempting folks, maybe some of you can help me out with a couple of q's.
Any of you lefty's have tried the 99? If so, are there any difficulties/problems associated with the bull-pup design and manipulating the bolt (other than the fact that i just have to do it with the right hand). Would the brass pop right into my face for instance? Next q is for StyerA - is the group buy closing on the 19th of May or whenever the 10 orders are filled? (whichever comes first?)Just the issue of fund availability, that's all. Thanks a lot, DD |

Thanks a lot, DD Had a lefty shooting my M99 and my Mac .50, since they are both bolt actions there is no danger from extraction so long as you move your face out of the way (which you will have to do to operate the bolt anyway). We are waiting until we have 10. Currently we have 7, need 3 more. |
