Ralph Vaughn giving a tour.<\/p><\/div>\n

Telephone calls come to Barrett almost daily with a question.\u00a0 Do you offer public tours?\u00a0 Since Barrett is a closed shop with security issues and production schedules to meet, the answer is \u201cno\u201d.<\/p>\n

Because of the widespread interest in how the Barrett products are manufactured, company founder Ronnie Barrett decided last year to offer a few select number of tours to benefit charities, primarily Friends of the National Rifle Association since Barrett is on the NRA Board of Directors.<\/p>\n

The result from the first year of charitable tours generated over $50,000 for educational programs for youth in shooting safety, and for non-profit organizations such as Domestic Violence, Wounded Warrior, Yellow Ribbon and others.<\/p>\n

In 2011, donations to charitable causes should exceed $100,000 through private tours at Barrett Firearms. Those taking the tour are shown how raw product enters the building and turned into a world-famous Barrett rifle.<\/p>\n

For more information about supporting Tennessee Friends of the NRA or some area charities through Barrett Firearms, contact Ralph Vaughn at (615) 896-2938 or ralphv@barrett.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
