About the Barrett REC10
The Barrett REC10 is a semi-automatic, direct-impingement AR-10-pattern rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Winchester) with a 6.5 Creedmoor variant available. Built on precision-machined billet 7075-T6 upper and lower receivers, it ships with a Barrett high-precision barrel and two-port muzzle brake, a 15-inch M-LOK handguard, a TriggerTech two-stage trigger, a Radian Raptor-LT charging handle, and Magpul MOE SL furniture. Positioned as a mid-weight DMR-style platform between Barrett's REC7 and the bolt-action MRAD/M98B.
Barrett's REC line traces back to the Barrett REC7 - a piston-driven AR-15 originally developed for special operations use. The REC10 scales that DNA up to the 7.62 NATO chassis, giving Barrett a precision semi-auto offering between its short-action REC7 and the .50 BMG M82.
