A step up from the company’s popular REC7 5.56mm carbine, the new REC10 brings a .308 Winchester chambering to the line — a first for the Tennessee-based company.
Chris Barrett, president of Barrett Firearms, talked to Guns.com about the new direct impingement SR25-pattern semi-auto at the 41st annual SHOT Show in Las Vegas last week. Debuted on the commercial market just prior to the trade show, the REC10 has a carbine-length 16-inch chrome-lined barrel and machined billet receivers while accepting 20-round PMAGS.
Barrett emphasized that the 8-pound rifle has been through an extensive amount of military testing in the past couple of years that included a 6,000-round test fire with a suppressor attached. “So that’s a very tough test to get through but this rifle has been through it and is highly refined to live in those kinds of bad conditions,” he said.

It is available in both Cerakote FDE and black.
Shipping standard with a free-floating M-LOK handguard and Magpul MBUSTM sights installed, the gun uses ambidextrous controls to include a Radian charging handle. MSRP is $2,750.
