Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Another American company bought out by a foreign company in a "socialist" country. Pretty soon all American companies will be in the hands of foreign governments that have ties to China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I would like to think that our government is only allowing this because Australia is an ally. Barrett is a supplier to the US government and military. They also supply NATO countries as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Ronnie Barrett is a patriot and a contrarian! I doubt that he would do anything intentionally to harm the company. He’s the guy that refused to return one of his .50 cal. rifles to California when they sent it to him for warranty repair after the California legislature outlawed .50 cal firearms!! The gist of his statement was that if .50 cal rifles were illegal in that state that he couldn’t send it back to them!! I’m pretty sure he has done his research and due diligence.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 What is the continuation market for these? I imagine most of the armies that want one already have a hundred or more. Perhaps it’s a matter of changing the caliber for some countries that use something a lin ttle different.
