Don’t know who the seller is, but the shop is located in Murfreesboro TN where Barrett HQ is located (thanks for the tip Horse). These are going to cost me some serious stimulus money.

Hopefully the seller is unloading these because he knows something we don’t know, like maybe Barrett is getting ready to resume production of Fieldcraft rifles with new calibers!

However, the $50 million military contract Barrett was awarded a couple weeks ago suggests it may be a long time before Fieldcrafts come back, if ever.

I say this prototype sale by Barrett’s retail outlet means resuming Fieldcraft production is nowhere to be seen . It ain’t happenin’

I'm thinking about the 556. If it had the 21" barrel it would be a no brainer for me. If it stays around 2200 I may bid. Wonder what the round count is?

The people selling is Barrett. The Outpost Armory is ran by Ronnie Barrett's son. They are in process of moving to a new location closer in the city.

Considering what FCs have been selling for and considering that it’s 1-of-a-kind caliber and configuration, I’d be surprised it sells under $3,000

I'd do the 6.5 Gren rifle and go .22 or 6mm.

3k or higher would be my guess. I'd love to think those guns could do something my tikka/swfa can.....but I doubt it.

This rifle is one of Barrett's prototype model rifles. We do not have a round count on any of the Barrett rifles listed. They were taken to industry shows as well fired at events and used in testing.
