I have my doubts about when/if this rifle will be released. The same lady at Barrett who told me "April or May" earlier today had told me "late January or early February" about two months ago. I'd buy one right now today if they were available. But being introduced to the public back in (what?) May of 2016 and still not ready makes a fellow wonder. I'll believe the project will actually happen when I see them out there. In the meantime I have a NULA on order with Melvin.
