The Barrett Firearms Model 82A1 .50 cal BMG and .416 Barrett shoulder-fired recoil-operated semi-automatic integrates a .50 cal 20” or 29” or .416 29” fluted match grade barrel, muzzle break, folding bipod, etc., into an extraordinarily stable platform. This long-range precision shooting rifle combines rigidly straight architecture, linearity, diagonals and block shapes into a futuristic look.

Barrett calls what looks like the upper receiver as just the “receiver” and the bottom part the “trigger housing assembly.” The Model 82A1 has three color schemes on the receiver and stock: Manganese Phosphate, Tungsten Grey and Flat Dark Earth. All else is black.

Model 82A1 choices include .416 Barrett with a 29” heavy barrel, .50 cal BMG with a 20” barrel or .50 cal BMG with a 29” barrel. Whether in 20” or 29”, these are very long barrels. To wit, the 29” long .50 cal BMG is 58 calibers long! The two .50 cal BMG versions have a 2-port muzzle brake while the .416 has an aggressive raked back 3-port muzzle brake.

Let’s continue with the .50 cal BMG. On top is an incredibly long 23.0” 27 MOA accessory rail for a scope or other accessories. No scope is included, but you get standard flip-up iron sights and a carrying handle that attaches to the rail. The gun also accepts side accessory rails and has front and rear sling loops. Also in front is a quick detach adjustable bipod. Both its legs are long straight beams with a two rows of large circular lightening ports on each.

Moving to the center, there’s an A2-style pistol grip with diamond checkering on both flanks. The guns come standard with a 10-round magazine that feeds rounds easily into the gun. The rear handgrip is backed by a nicely padded black buttpad. It has a nice, comfortable contour, and you can also have a monopod at its bottom for additional stability.

Back on the receiver sits a simple two-position safety. Quick release assembly pins make assembly and disassembly rather easy!

The .416 Barrett with a 29” heavy barrel and .50 cal BMG with a 29” barrel are both 57” overall and weigh 32.7 pounds apiece. The 20” barrel gun is 48” overall and weighs 31.5 pounds. The .416 has a 1:12” twist instead of the .50 cal’s 1:15” twist.

Barrett is located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee and is ISO 9001:2015 Certified. This gun is Made in USA.
