I heard they are coming back with a few improvements. They are working on the long action to increase coal. We will finally see a 223, a 22 creed, a 280 AI, and even a new mag face bolt chambered for the 6.5 PRC. Safety is being updated to a proprietary system that locks the bolt. Stock is being re-designed to be somewhat slimmer. A left hand version will be available and will be introduced at the same time as the right. New MSRP is reported to be $1299; launch date slated for 04/01/22. 🖕🏻 Yeaaaah, someone needs a kick in the jimmy.

Now how about a dose of reality? I actually called Barrett about a month ago and asked about future Fieldcraft production. I was told that the company was going to review production of their full line of consumer (a.i. non-military) products to see if they had the capacity to shift away from AR-15 style rifles to Fieldcraft. The decision would be based completely on how well the AR platforms were selling at that point in time. The implication was that if things continue to sell at the current pace, the re-commencement of Fieldcraft production would be pushed further into the future. However, he was adamant that Barrett would, at some point, resume production of their hunting rifles.

I have to respect Barrett for their position on this. They are smart to keep production at a level with which they can assure proper QC. Ruger on the other hand will happily increase their production, QC be damned.

I don’t think Kimber could get a wet dream from conception to market in one month. Even if it did occur on April 1! Amen!

AKwolverine has been newly hired by Barrett as the CH&D (Crushed Hopes and Dreams) Executive That’s some awesome stuff, gentlemen! 😂😂
