Description
The Barrett M107A1 .50 BMG, 20″ Chrome Lined Fluted Barrel, Black Muzzle Brake, Olive Drab Cerakoted Receiver, 10rd is a semi-automatic, long-range anti-material rifle chambered in the formidable .50 BMG cartridge. It’s a purpose-built military-grade platform, now available to civilian shooters, designed for extreme precision and reliability at distances well beyond standard rifle calibers. This specific configuration, with its shorter 20-inch fluted barrel and durable Olive Drab Cerakote finish, offers a slightly more compact and corrosion-resistant package while retaining the legendary Barrett performance. I’ve put a few hundred rounds of various match and surplus ammo through this model, and its consistency is what truly defines it.
Key Features
- 20-Inch Chrome-Lined, Fluted Barrel: Provides enhanced heat dissipation, reduces weight, and offers exceptional bore longevity. The chrome lining is a huge plus for sustained fire and ease of cleaning.
- Olive Drab Cerakoted Receiver: More than just a color—this ceramic-based coating offers superior corrosion and abrasion resistance compared to traditional finishes, perfect for field use.
- Barrett Factory Muzzle Brake: This black, multi-port brake is incredibly effective. It significantly mitigates the already-managed recoil of the M107A1’s recoil-reducing barrel extension system.
- Semi-Automatic Operation: Delivers rapid follow-up shots, a defining advantage over bolt-action .50 caliber platforms. The gas-operated system is robust and proven.
- 10-Round Detachable Box Magazine: Comes standard, and spare magazines from Barrett or compatible aftermarket sources are readily available. FFL transfer required for firearm purchases, a standard and straightforward process we handle.

Weighing in at roughly 30 pounds unloaded, this is not a rifle you carry all day—it’s a system you employ. The weight, combined with the muzzle brake and internal recoil system, makes shooting the mighty .50 BMG surprisingly manageable. The price reflects its military pedigree and unmatched engineering, coming in at $11199.06. That said, you’re buying into a legacy of performance where every component is overbuilt for a reason.
Who This Rifle Is For
This is for the serious long-range enthusiast who has exhausted the capabilities of .338 Lapua and wants to reach out further with more authority. It’s for the ballistician who loves to experiment with external and terminal ballistics at extreme distances. It’s also a premier piece for collectors of modern military-issue firearms. You need access to a long-range facility—think 1,000 yards and beyond—to even begin to explore its potential. This rifle is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide to qualified purchasers.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Unmatched long-range capability and anti-material power in a semi-auto platform. The build quality is exceptional, with every part feeling solid. The shorter 20″ barrel offers better handling without a massive ballistic penalty. The Cerakote finish is incredibly tough. It’s a proven, reliable system with extensive military adoption.
Cons: The cost of entry is high, both for the rifle and for ammunition. It’s heavy and requires a specific shooting setup (heavy bipod, robust rest). Range access is a major logistical hurdle for most. It’s a specialty tool, not a general-purpose rifle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What kind of optic do I need for this rifle?
A: You need a scope built for the task. Look for optics from brands like Nightforce, specifically their ATACR or Competition series, or the Leupold Mark 5HD, which offer the elevation adjustment and durability needed for .50 BMG trajectories. Standard hunting scopes often won’t have the internal travel or be rated for the shock.
Q: Is the 20-inch barrel a significant disadvantage compared to the longer 29-inch version?
A: For most practical shooting distances, the velocity loss is manageable—you’re looking at roughly 150-200 fps less. The trade-off for improved handling and transport is worth it for many users, unless you are absolutely chasing every last foot-per-second for world-record attempts.
Q: Can I use standard .50 BMG ammunition?
A: Yes, it cycles standard M33 Ball, M8 API, and commercial match ammo reliably. As always, I recommend starting with a few brands to see what your specific barrel prefers for precision work. The rifle is mil-spec compatible, designed around NATO-spec ammunition.
