Barrett has three new products that we discussed in this video, the largest being the .224 Valkyrie is being chambered in an AR platform in coordination with the launch by Federal Ammunition. In addition, the same round is being chambered in their Fieldcraft line of lightweight hunting rifles that the company first debuted last year.

Also on hand was the company’s 240 model, especially their LWS set up that is much shorter than the standard LW, or 240 that is commonly known. This year the company brought out the machine gun chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor.

A very special thanks to BROWNELLS – check out their new Retro line here:

    Lightweight, but still heavier than PKM, while costing 10 times as much… Seems legit.

    This means OVERMATCH is still relevant.

      @Argy007 We seem to live in a Silly Clown World where Only OVERMATCH matters.

    Why would the US (or any army) field an LMG in a caliber just SLIGHTLY different from the standard .223/5.56? The rounds are very hard to differentiate at a glance. From an ordinance standpoint, it seems like it would be a problem, no?
