| do you think it will ever be legal to the normal public? 25mm the new big daddy round? |

Barrett might not sell it, but sooner or later one will end up in civilian hands and probably at Knob Creek. Those C3 dealers are resourceful if nothing else. All it takes is a dealer getting a Demo Letter from a major agency in his hot little hands. It is totally up to Barrett if they sell the dealer the gun or not. BUT, once a dealer gets the gun he can transfer it to whomever he wishes since its a DD and not a machine gun. Bottom line to answer the original question: There is nothing illegal about buying a 25mm rifle. If the manufacturer would sell it to the public it would simply transer to a C3 dealer on a Form 3 and then from the dealer to you on a Form 4. |
You could get around that by casting your own bullets and reloading. You could have molds and a sizing die made for a couple hundred bucks. This is a VERY common practice with big toys. Note the molds included with this baby.  |
I wouldnt doubt if one of these ever came available.Wasnt there a MARK 19 full-auto grenade laucher for sale on a site for around 400K and came with a bunch of practice rounds?If they made 25mm practice rounds for the new Barrett some rich guy would definitley buy it!

Sniping just got a whole lot more deadly with the Barrett XM-109 sniper rifle, which marries improved range with the firepower of an Apache helicopter. www.military.com/soldiertech...=soldiertech.nl |
