Life can be rough on us dreamers.

Edit: Fieldcraft RiflesWell, it looks like the Barrett version of the Fieldcraft is gone. I guess it remains to be seen what the new Corp does with it. I’d love to see some prototypes at this year’s SHOT show, but I have no idea if or when anything is going to happen…

Maybe they just created the entity so they could sell it. We’ve all seen what happens when some “enthusiast” or money guy, or even another gun company buys a firearms company and tries to run it. Usually doesn’t end well.
What fresh Hell is this?

The name and address of the company agent for Fieldcraft LLC is the owner of a paint & powder coating company in Tennessee. http://www.foutchindustries.com/
Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.

The Field Craft civilian rifle was a stop-gap to help pay bills, keep staff employed, and keep machines running, in between multi-year, multi-million dollar, government contracts. Barrett is a government contractor. The civilian market is what they do to fill production capacity in between government contracts. "Filling capacity" will not be an issue for Barrett for the next 4-5 years.

If Barrett ever does bring it back, can guarantee it will be well over $2k list. Have no idea had they made any money at previous list price.

Another thread here said they sold the design package to a separate entity, the thread even had a company name.
Doubt the will ever come back as they were, at least quality wise. Barrett had military contracts so their great QC carried over to their sporting guns.
Never handled one but all have said their sxs shotguns were also very well done.
Like all of us morons here, I wish I had pulled the trigger when SAS was blowing some out.

Colt tried, Forbes tried, Barrett succeeded with a fine rifle. I would like to see the Barrett offered again.

So what do you suppose the government will do with all their new sniper rifles? Target and cull the non vaccinated or all us vicious trump supporters or just give them to our foreign enemies? Wtf that's the real question.

I fell in love with Fieldcrafts after purchasing my first which was a 270 on clearance somewhere.
