\"BarrettM<\/strong>urfreesboro, TN:<\/strong> Barrett Firearms Manufacturing Inc., a name which has become synonymous with precision long range, large-caliber firearms, is proud to celebrate forty years of manufacturing some of the world\u2019s most iconic firearms.<\/p>\n

Established in 1982, Founder and CEO Ronnie Barrett set out to build something no one thought possible \u2014 a shoulder-fired 50 BMG rifle. From sketching his designs at the dining room table to working with a local tool and die maker to create parts that didn\u2019t yet exist, every aspect was the direct result of his passion for the ultimate firearm.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I took those drawings to machine shops for help, instead of getting encouragement, they laughed at my ideas. Not to be discouraged, I just did it anyway. The original Barrett rifle concept has turned into a world-class manufacturing company doing business around the globe,\u201d Ronnie shared.<\/p>\n

The obsession with firearms excellence runs deep in the Barrett family. Ronnie\u2019s son, Chris Barrett, also served as lead designer and company president.<\/p>\n

From humble beginnings, to now having products used by more than 70 State Department approved countries, Barrett is also the first father\/son team to have each designed a rifle that was adopted by the U.S. Military, the M107\u00ae and MK22\u2122 respectively. The legacy continues as it has for the last 40 years by meticulously designing, innovating, and manufacturing the most highly sought-after rifles in the world.<\/p>\n
