Wouldnt have believed it if I hadn’t seen it: Police trade-in Barrets. Still, thats only about $750 cheaper than a brand new one.

Danger! Danger!
These may have shot-out barrels (they are good for around 1500 rounds), and a new barrel runs around $1500….
I cannot imagine the department that has a budget to allow enough .50 ammo to wear out a barrel.
I could…a SWAT Team that spends a lot of time practicing…and these may be 10 years old: Call it 150 rounds a year or 12-ish rounds a month.
After all, they’re not getting rid of them because they’re in great shape…
if your going to drop 6500 on a rifle with an as is warranty. what is another 750.00? not a deep enough discount to override the used factor. hell I can barley fund the guns I shoot at .30 to 1.00 per round.
For a lousy $750 more (which is really, what?, around 12%) I’d rather have the known quantity that comes with a new gun.
A .50 Barrett is way out of my price range. Besides the fact that I’ve no place to shoot something that big, the cost of the ammo is way over my budget.
May be some one handed it in to them to get a evil gun off the street.
Only way I ever would ponder a Barrett…
Back in 2001 I saw a guy with entire ammo cans of Yugoslavian surplus ammo.
$1.00 a round, or $85/100.
I think it was Berdan primed though.
But I wish I’d bought a few, maybe a half dozen, cans instead of some of the other stupid things I purchased over the years.
This weekend Classic Firearms had them for $7k even, brand new.
