[SHOT Show 2019] Barrett's Entry into the 7.62 Field: The REC-10
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 січ 2019
- Barrett has taken the 5.56x45mm REC7 rifle and upgraded it to a 7.62x51mm package which is now the REC10. The REC10 was a product development of a foreign military solicitation program in which Barrett was successful in acquiring and winning. We don't know what exact country this was, but we should have more information on the blog side of TFB in the future, or at least when we see them being used in the wild.
The REC10 comes with a 16-inch barrel and uses several aftermarket accessories such as buttstocks, pistol grips, and magazines. The magazine release is ambidextrous, as well as a bolt release on the righthand side of the lower receiver.
The rifle is available for the U.S. commercial market right now and will be retailed for $2,995.

After running the REC7 in 6.8 for years and having ran the LWRC REPR & SCAR17, Barrett's build quality is top notch and very accurate. So I'd buy one.
Thanks for the head's up. Always wanted the LWRC REPR but with the side charging handle. Was looking at the FN 20S jn .308.
I asked, wife said no. We cant mortgage the house again
Will be interesting to see how it stacks up against the DDV2, LWRC REPR, POF Revolution, HK716 etc. Also neat to see how it will hold up against some more cost friendly 762
SHUT UP AND TAKE 7 OF MY PAYCHECKS
Lol
Solid rifles but they’re prone to jam I had to go back to Bolt.
Loved it Miles. Are you gonna do more foreign weapons documentary like videos soon
AWESOME
I was really close to getting a rec7 over an LWRC. But found a kickass price on the lwrc.
This is an excellent rifle. My life is dependent on its function. I bought it in 2019 !! Thank God and thank you Barett for making American made quality firearms. Thank you again 🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸
I would love to have that with a 18 inch barrel and a longer handguard.
I haven't seen any bench testing of the rifle on UA-cam for accuracy. Whats the moa?
If I can get one with a 20 barrel and an a Magpul PRS stock, this rifle is money!
That's exactly what I want.
Nice hunting rifle
If it was a $2000 rifle in the DMR style I'd pay for it!!!
Our military in Colombia is running it
Mine shoots awesome out to 700yds so far. 1to2 moa at those distances with federal 175 match ammo. Shoots great to 600yds with Malaysian cheap ammo. Has the feel of a quality rifle when you hold it and it is light , very light for a 308 AR.
Yeah mines a 1.5moa gun as well
Which suppressor did you use for the six thousand rounds ?
Probably the surefire RC series
This is the ONLY Barrett medium heavy "battle-carbine" WORTH the $ and I know sev MARSOC and ARSOF who say not just they, but our top tier guys are using these over the CSASS (which some of em already think the HK is too unwieldy as it's just a slightly lighter version of 417C-which is a BRICK of steel..a night mare to go mobile for very long with). These guys run REC10s like the Mk 18 5.56/M4s right now lol...until they get greenlight to use some Grendel uppers for their KAC and Daniels Def ARs on widescale, the REC10 has been a longtime coming(only tier 1 guys have dumped a good amount of MCX IIs in 300BLK and just thrown on Grendel uppers to Geiselle/KAC/BCM type ARs)
I like the Black what kind of scope is that?
Are they ever going to tell us what "major" military power is fielding this?
I’m a fucking Barrett fanboy. They have some of the best shit out there!
And Noone notices that, it's so sad
If it doesn't fire tank rounds then im not interested
4140 barrel!! Is this like the bottom end budget rifle?
Right? I don't want to be the one to say 'any chrome lined barrel not 4150 is junk,' but for 2000-3000$ skimping out with 4140 is kind of a joke. For people who think it doesn't matter- it does. Using a throat erosion gauge, 4140 chrome lined barrels erode significantly faster than 4150. Melonite erodes faster than both.
Their barrels are all stainless steel, if the owners manual is correct, that is. Only the carbine version uses a CMV lined barrel
How much does it weight dry?
8.0 I believe
3 grand that’s insane I’d rather get a scar .308
A lot of companies who make piston op .308s sell them for around $4500 (HK, LWRC, POF) I honestly don't get it. $3000 is relativly good and I'd take it over a SCAR 17, but I still would never buy it. For 3k I'm building that shit myself.
@@calholli shit I assumed since it was a rec without DI in the name it was piston, but no on the website it says it's a DI. While I'd normally consider that an improvement (pistons on .308 ARs are pointless) fuck that noise, the one unique feature this rifle had to justify its price is basically gone, for that kind of money if aren't building, just buy a LaRue or an LMT. This went from meh to just dumb for me.
The SCAR is a good rifle that cost $3,500 and needs at least another $1,000 to make it great
@@calholli SOCOM shouldn't head out on a mission with junk and we don't need to either!
So scope x8 is attachable to AR family PUBG please fix .....
Yeah super funny indeed
It’s chambers din 308 win, can you shoot 7.62x51 through it
No it’ll blow up the flux capacitor
I would like to see a piston rifle in caliber .338 Federal, just not for that price point.
So it's a new rifle for US Military?
No. A military, not the us military
Idf
A Barrett that isn't in .50BMG or even .338 lapua isn't a Barrett to me.
Forgot .416 Barrett too
stupid comment
Rubbish. If it's 338, it's gotta be Sako.
@ 1:50 he clearly says "this is a chrome lined 4140 barrel." Maybe he miss-spoke, but why not use 4150? I think that's why I couldn't find that info anywhere. So many "reviews" and no one mentioned barrel material. Also, notice Miles' reaction after he said that (LOL)
According to Barrett net, their Barrell material is stainless steel.
Only the carbine version uses a CMV lined barrel
Ar platform 50BMG please
This is a better .308 builds then 6.5. The 6.5 is only better at 700+ m range. This rifle would be a dmr like build and you're better off getting the more abundant ammo type for no real loss.
would rather have a B&T APC308 for that price.
@Trojan Horse there i live, they would be about identical.
@Trojan Horse correct. and somewhere pretty damn expensive too. to clarify my point, let me use an example: where i live, the B&T APC9 is cheaper than the SIG MPX and the B&T GHM9 is cheaper than the cz scorpion evo.
@Trojan Horse you have excellent taste mate :D
Very nice rifle, but there’s no way I’d pay over $2000 for a glorified AR10
I'd personally recommend people spend more than $2000 on a .308 AR, do it right and it'll be worth every penny and then some. But not this. I really don't get why anyone would want a piston 308 AR over a di
@@frankdamsy9715 because they run cleaner for a start.
@@Genesis23OPB not really, I used to have a piston AR in 556 (it was a 516 I ended up selling) and while not an AR I do own an MCX in .300 blk and they get just as dirty as any of my other higher end ARs. The reason you'd want a 556 piston AR or even better, a .300 blk piston AR is because they cycle better with super short barrels, cycle better out of water, run suppressors better, and the chamber doesn't heat up to dangerous levels when ran in full auto. They are also inherently heavier, less accurate, are in no way more reliable than traditional DI outside of the situations listed above, and are usually burden with a bunch of proprietary crap. The problems it has go directly against the reasons you'd buy a .308 in the first place and most of us won't be doing combat drives with these.
@@frankdamsy9715 if a piston gun gets just as dirty as a DI one, you did something very wrong. of course you have tiny pieces from cardriges in both of their bolthead/chamber sections, but the carbon in a piston gun is cleaned out much easier and faster than in a DI. the added weight, especially in a short stroke design, is barely noticable. also, piston guns being less accurate is nonsense, the SIG 550 has a full length gas piston and is one of the most accurate standart issue rifles on the planet.
Because you are poor? Sorry.
get REKT10
If I was issued one sure, but having to pay for one myself? No way
Good luck finding a reliable AR-10 under $2k

Send me a link for a 6.5 REC10 and I will happily pay
Wish I could get one, But NY strikes again.
I feel your pain as i live here too... Just get rid of the pistol grip and collapsible butt stock... and maybe... just maybe, you'll find a 10 round mag that will fit it... i love ny.. but fuck ny for allowing caumo to shit on the constitution.
Way too many rifles clocking in above 2k. No reason for it.
Research and development mostly, they shoot millions of rounds to test these guns, every tiny change requires a couple thousand rounds. I can see why they want to recoup their r&d costs.
Douchebag's pay douchebag pricing. That is the way markets work, you price an item as high as people will pay at the distribution level you can supply. That said Barrett has ALWAYS been high on price. Every major rifle producer having a backlog insures high prices. Sales need to slump for a couple of quarters and backlogs need ti clear and then PRICES WILL CRATER. Thanks to the douchebags this will not happen.
@erozpl01 I can, I don't. When you can buy a good used motorcycle for the price of a non-specialist rifle something needs serious re-balancing Add to that it's a rifle most of you will shoot 3 maybe 4 times a year. Also I can pay off every debt I have in probably 2 months. The economic numbers say the vast majority of you cannot.
Trust me, build a 2k+ rifle yourself or buy one that's well received from a reputable manufacturer. It's worth it in so many ways
@@johngalt234 it's actually about the same as other premium AR-10s if you don't go into pistons(what I believe is a completely worthless feature on a 308) or the SR-25(jesus that thing is overpriced). LaRue, LMT, and Daniel Defense are in the same ballpark with JP being a bit more.
Jesus Loves You
😅
What a waste of my time why didn't you ask about the price
so a glorified AR-10 with just Barrett's name on it for 3k
i did a tour a little bit ago before it got released and the testing they do before a rifle get approved is crazy. this is the best built and tested i've ever held. this is a rifle i would trust my life to.
I paid $2000 for mine and it is so well made and you can feel the quality when you hold it and shoot it. Very accurate and very light. Shoots 1moa at 100yds, shoots 1-2 moa at 700yds using Federal 175gr match. Shoots Malaysian out to 600yds good enough. I have had AR 10's before but they sucked, this one is awesome. I have had it for quite a while now and it has functioned perfectly.
Only cost you your first born. Everyone thinks their products are Ferrari’s.
Barrett man looks like a nerdy triple h. The fact it's accepted by the us military makes me think it may replace the Sr.-25. Just a thought. If I were th United States military I would go with a hk417, LMT DMR like the British army adopted, can't remember the long l111aa11 or whatever it is, or if you want a DMR the m21 ebr's are doing the job. No need to waste precious funds.
The us army doesn't need to waste money on a new DMR just like it didn't need it's new pistol, the m19? Or as its more commonly known the flawed sig p320. The m9 was fine. Handguns don't win wars.
You should be replacing the m16 with something with more power like a 6.5 creedmoor, 6.8 SPC or even a older calibre like the 6.5 swede or Arisaka, or .280 British. 5.56 needs more power to effectively kill men. And needs to sustain the velocity it has to perforate soft body armour.
The us army should be researching the counterbalance system the Russians have in their new ak's (so full auto is effective again, the system pioneered by the aek-971) as well as a roughly 6.5x45-55mm round. As well as updating soft and hard body armour systems, especially the helmet. Russian SFERA helmets are miles ahead of the PASGT and MICH.
They shouldn't be wasting money on DMR's and replacing the m9 with something worse.
The Chinese got the service rifle and pistol concept right with the 5.8mm QSZ-95 and QSZ-92.
The Iranians stuck with the .308 G3, and use the kh-2002 for troops who need it. Troops who can't be resupplied as often as the standard G3 wielding soldier. .223 allows then to carry more ammo.y
The Russians are coming out with a complete new generation of rifles. (Ak-12/Ak-15) plus others.
The USA are stuck with the 60's m16.
America's 'enemies' have better service rifles than the USA. And their tanks are getting behind. The Abrams is a 80's tank. It's behind the Russian T-14, Chinese type 99, Iranian Zulifiquar-3 and possibly even the DPRK's Pokpung-Ho-2. It's also miles behind the British challenger 2 and German Leopard 2A7. The leopard 2a7's 140mm gun could flatten a m1 and that's not a good thing for the us. Especially when the t-14 has a similar performance gun. It's only a matter of time before the Russians export the t-14 Armarta.
Look at the m1 Abrams performance in Iraq. When Iraqi troops didn't abandon it, it was easily perforated by ied's and rpg-29's (the bane of western tanks) (Which the Russians, Iranians, Koreans, and the Chinese have an equivalent copy in service.)
The us is modernising the wrong areas. What makes the sig p320 better than the m9 in the same way the 5.8mm QSZ-92 and the Gsh-18 are better than the makarov?
And how are the hk416 and SCAR-L improvements on the m4/m16 the same way the QSZ-95 is an improvement on the type 56/81 and the ak-12/15 improvements on the ak74m?
Also look at NATO. A lot of armies, like my own countries army, the U.K. Are a shadow of their former selves. Our challenger 2 tank may be top of the line, but we have 55, Russia alone has 10,000+ modern or modernised tanks. The British army aren't fielding modernised challenger 1's, they got sold to Oman. Same with the fv 432 which an be bought on the uk market for 5-10k, making it a popular extreme off road machine. And the challenger 2's are the only MBT's in active service. European militaries standards are dropping, while Russian and Chinese Standards for their professional armies increase.
Small arms can change the course of a war, look at the m1 Garand in ww2. The USA, with its aimpoints, ACOG's, night vision and green tip rounds may set them leagues ahead of an army like saddam's iraq, but against Russia or China the us does not have the advantage when it comes to infantry.
Chinese 5.8mm rounds are designed to perforate NATO soft body armour. And the Iranians with their .308 g3's can do the same but in a less modern way, .308 will just bust right through any soft armour. They'd rather use sheer power. And if the usa invaded Iran. The combat ranges would be commonly more than 300m, which would favour the .308 Iranian rifles, which are made on H&K tooling, so they have a modicum of quality.
What I'm trying to say in this tirade is the us is putting the money in all the wrong places. Us troops don't need a new service pistol, DMR, fighter bomber etc. They need a new at least 25% more effective service rifle, a new MBT, as well as armoured vehicle crew pdw.
The USA would do terribly against a country with a professional army with a will to fight, I.e. Russia, Iran, North Korea, China.
These militaries are tailor made to fight us troops while the us army is tailor made to fight insurgents. And does a shitty job at it.
I am an Englishman, I pray for peace but love the us, Russia, China, Korea, Iran and loads of other major military powers.
But USA don't get your ass kicked, upgrade your old m1 tank, replace the ageing m16/m4 and give your tank crews something better than a 1944 m3a1 grease gun. .45 acp sucks for a military round. Give them something like a mp7, p90, g36c, sig552 or even a mp5 ffs.
The m16/m4's 5.56 round doesn't have enough hitting power, so like I said before something 6-7mm that can fire in full auto is a dream. 6.5 Arisaka, 6.5 Swede, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.8 SPC, hell even .280 British or .276 pedersen would be old but work.
.223 is a shitty lmg round (hence the British Army dropping the FN Minimi/M249 SAW) and .223 sucks as a DMR round too, hence the British adopting a LMT .308 ar to replace the scoped long barrelled l85's/sa80's.
You need your infantry, IFV's and tanks to be superior to the enemy. Against North Korea or China your outnumbered 10-1 on infantry, and 20-1 on aircraft and tanks. It doesn't matter if DPRK MIG's and tanks are mostly rubbish, your done for outgunned 20-1.
Also unlike China or North Korea the us population would protest a large war, look at the Iraq war protests.
Iran would be able to fight a conventional war and a guerilla war at the same time. The terrain is to their advantage. Their troops have combat experience (in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, etc) you wouldn't be fighting a army like that of saddam's Iraq.
If you want to be taken seriously as an army, stop using Humvees with miniguns/.50cal's as armoured cars and m113's with 20/25mm's as light tanks. You need to upgrade you are outgunned buy your 'Enemies' and your allies. You wouldn't stand a chance against Russia or China.
Step up your game USA.
God bless America, Russia, China, Iran, Korea, Syria, the U.K., Germany, Finland, Serbia And loads of other nations.
I pray for peace, but America don't get cocky, there are Lots of countries you couldn't go to war with and win.
bless your heart
This weapon isn't meant for the peasants.
No, just ship's with "pesant" specifications. 4140 barrel! They are takin the mickey.
No. Just ignorant rich people. 4140=👎🏻
Phil Macracken You can’t tell the difference between 4140 and 4150 unless it’s on full auto and belt fed. On a DMR/semi auto only, which this appears to be, you wouldn’t tell a difference
Elliot White that’s not the point. 4140 means the skimped on barrel steel. What else did they skimp on ?
Phil Macracken No they didn’t skimp on the barrel. They made a decision based on the intended purpose of the rifle. Barrett doesn’t have a history of “skimping”.
Terrible questions
Another overpriced AR lol
Have you seen what parts were used? This isn't a run off the mill Walmart rifle
The 4140 barrel ruins the whole set up major fail also angle on the hand grip is a few years behind smh DD all the way if that's the case
