Developed in the early 1980s, the M82 series of weapons has been adopted by a number of military forces, where its long range striking power makes it useful for disabling vehicles, detonating enemy ordnance, and sniping at ranges well beyond a conventional rifle. This impressive weapon has the standard Barrett Manufacturing Inc. markings on the left side of the magazine well. Fitted with a heavy fluted barrel with Barrett four chamber chevron muzzle brake, ventilated steel chassis, bipod, carry handle flip up front blade and rear peep sights, AR style fire controls and checkered grip, and solid rubber recoil pad. Includes a Nightforce NXS 5.5-22 Np1R reticle scope that is Cerakoted to match the rifle and with Nightforce rings. Bullet button type magazine release lock is present (appears easily removable).
