Do you have a Barrett M107A1

I'm considering buying one. Any input on barrel length or accessories would be appreciated.

Had an M82A1, it was an awesome rifle. They aren't very accurate though, and at $2.75/round for cheap ammo, $7 for match, you really want to be accurate. Honestly Barret's profit margins on M82s have got to be huge, the entire top half of the rifle just appears to be stamped sheet metal, then there's the lower, bolt and barrel.

It's not a very complicated rifle either, more like an old Chevy small block than a 2016 Ferrari. The bolt doesn't even ride on any rails, it's kind of just clamped inside a tube made by the upper and lower.

If I were in the market for another .50 I'd want a McMillan, but there really is something about a semiauto .50 BMG that is hard to turn down.
