Yeah they use to come with radian raptor charging handles and the barrel use to be stainless steel and I’m not sure but I think the bolt may even be different now and idk if there more or less than they use to be but they better be less or close to the same cuz they kinda just added cheaper parts and a different barrel material.

$2,099 for msrp is mighty steep for what is basically just a mil-spec rifle. The only real nice part is the barrel being CHF & Chrome lined. The handguard doesn't seem too special as well. I struggle to find the extra $1,100 dollars in value on this outside of it being a Barrett rifle.

I have a Barrett Rec 7 DI. Bought mine in 2020 for like $1700~ new. It’s a fantastic gun with the time I have on it. It cycles super fast with the Timney Calvin Elite trigger and Hypertap break I have on it. I can also get consistent hits out to 600 yards from a bipod using 55gr M193 ball. I haven’t shot it further than that, but 600 yards is more than enough for an AR-15. If I wanna go further I’ll grab my AR-10 or bolt guns

This is gonna do one singular thing to the AR market: give DD some competition for the vaunted title of "guns for dentists"

Daniel Defense doesn’t even hire engineers screw that clownshow. A PSA is equally reliable to your daniel defense. There is not a single special thing about those rifles besides their rail, which Geiselle does better…

Nowadays any AR "weapon system" over $1400 should have full ambi controls. Maybe even $1200 and up.

1400 bucks and over for sure. LWRCI sells their full ambi internal piston for $1500. Granted it is not chrome lined but it is CHF with a nitride barrel. I don’t know a single person that has a transferable machine gun though so they will be just fine with the nitride barrel. Steer clear of this one for sure at this price or just get a Daniel Defense RIS3 with ambi lower and CHF CL barrel…

I thought that's what he said, too.

If I wanted a top tier MilSpec rifle id go BCM or FN for FAR cheaper. If I wanted a high end Di (with objectively meaningful upgrades, no gimmicks) id go LWRC, still for cheaper... They should be price competitive with BCM & Colt, not LWRC & FN. The only reason DD is priced that high is their marketing, which Barrett cant touch.

y'know, i think aero and psa make a gun just like this. Some of those psa's have FN cold hammer forged barrels. BCM is the next step up but you really don't have to spend any more than that. I really don't see why this is newsworthy.

That price is comical.

Nice beard Devon, oh yeah, Hi Hop!

Even adjusted for inflation, this is not worth 2k. Might as well get a Geissele for that price.

Unreal...

Hop's watch sent a medical alert to James when that price got announced.

Barrett: "Don't build your own with premium parts and pay less. We're Barrett. So spend about $1000 more for an AR because we're Barrett. And that's all I've got to say about that."

So did you stop selling the REC series because of the 'military contracts with the MK22 and M107a1', or was it because no one except the top Barrett glazers bought your overpriced basic-ass AR and now you're trying for round two?

In my head it’s still the M468 from older Tom Clancy games.

I still want a piston Rec-7 in 6.8

Does this mean Rainbow6 Vegas 3 is on the books?

Buy a $300 Criterion CHF Crome lined barrel and slap on any budget AR and now it’s sub MOA. Get a trigger when you can afford it. Rattle can it and it’s as good as good as many competitors. Maybe get a nice handguard. All easy things.

Well, all the comments are correct and entertaining, so I hereby give my blanket agreement to all the wise firearm owners watching (and Hop for revealing this absurdity to us).

I hate to see what they sell the Piston rifles for, if/when they bring those back! Surely it’s another $1k up charge.

I love how many ar manufacturers always talk about their rifle as if they just came up with the ar 15 themselves. "really soft shooting platform" "rifle we designed..."

Was very interested but for $2100 I think ur better off paying alittle extra like a radian sig mcx etc hopefully it will be a lot cheaper at street price but felt like it was a solid $1700 I think the price would be justified if it was the piston version at $2100 but Griffin armament has their MK2 for $1700 full ambi an u can get pistol or pin a welded versions heck even top tier Mil-Spec rifles are $1500 idk if this is worth $600 more for customer service but very cool tho.
