 Found this in the photogallery at black-t.com. Very old rifle. |

Quoted:
Is that the original rifle that was supposedly built in Barrett's own garage? No as I believe the first one/ones had no cuts in the receiver for vents or the like and used a flat muzzle brake such as this 
Also believe those were the early rifles as well, minus the weird hooded scope thing. I believe that was a midterm rifle with the circular brake that they were experimenting with. If you want strange barretts look up the M82A2

Its a dummy (no big hole in the end of the barrel ETA: also the area between the handguard tube and the barrel is solid). Looks like a rubber duck. |

Quoted: Mine had the original pinecone muzzle brake. That's just a bad pic. It's a real gun.

Someone has retouched the image to obscure the hole in the barrel and the area under the handguard tube. Its obvious once you look at it a 400x. Why? |

How did that not get classified as an integral suppressor? Looking at it reminds me of the way baffles are stacked in silencers. ETA: oh there are cut outs in the cone shaped thingies, couldn't see them in the original photo |

Quoted: It's a muzzle brake. Not nearly as effective as the arrowhead design, which is why they changed. My gun came with three of the original 11 round mags(drug on the ground when the bipod was collapsed), the pinecone brake, and the arrow head brake. I should never have sold it.Quoted: Quoted: Mine had the original pinecone muzzle brake. That's just a bad pic. It's a real gun.

Freaking cool looking gun man... pretty much a piece of history now.

That style rifle also has the 33" barrel.
My rifle has one of the old 33" barrels and a one of a kind receiver. I built it up when I worked there. Accurate as hell. The old pine cone brake only reduces about 40% of the felt recoil. Batters the hell out of the inside of the rifle. |

It's been long ago sold.....
But if anyone has pics of the first Black Rifle convention...there's a pic with a bunch of people with .50s.... One of them is an early M82 (not A1) and it had the tracing papers showing it was one of the guns in the original Robocop movie. AFARR |
