Barrett REC7 5.56 Nato GEN II FDE Rifle 

Barrett precision in a 5.56 gas piston gun

The REC7 Gen II is a lightweight, piston operated semi-automatic rifle. The Gen II uses a one piece 17-4 stainless steel piston, cold hammer forged chrome-lined barrel and chromed-lined gas block with two position gas plug for unparalleled reliability. Magpul MOE® pistol grip and stock, PWS Triad flash suppressor, flip up iron sights, and Geissele® triggers are standard with each rifle system. The REC7 Gen II also incorporates the new Barrett designed handguard that utilizes the Keymod.

The Barrett REC7 Gen II is a powerful and reliable rifle styled in the familiar AR configuration. It’s a no-nonsense rifle designed to answer the call for a low-maintenance, enhanced-reliability carbine. The Barrett REC7 exceeds expectations operators demand from today’s new breed of piston-operated rifles.

The Barrett REC7 rifle’s dependability stems from its innovative operating system. Using a minimum number of parts, the piston system separates heat and powder residue from the bolt carrier and trigger assembly. The rifle runs cool and clean, resulting in reduced maintenance requirements and increased endurance.

The REC7 combines the familiar ergonomics of the AR style rifle with a revolutionary short stroke gas piston operating system to create a rifle that runs cleaner and more reliably than traditional designs.

At the heart of the system is the nitrided, two-position (suppressed/unsuppressed) gas regulator that retains the piston. The piston can be accessed through the gas block without removing the handguard, so optical sights or laser devices do not need to be re-zeroed after routine maintenance. The top of the gas block also has an integral 1913 rail, extending the rail length for mounting accessories or sights. The handguard features M-LOK attachment points at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions.

Unlike direct impingement firearms that release gas into the upper receiver, the REC7 piston vents excess gas forward at its patented chrome-lined, fluted gas block, resulting in cleaner, cooler, lower-maintenance operation. The black nitride coated gas block features two positions for suppressed or unsuppressed shooting, ensuring reliability of the shot and helping to avoid unnecessary wear from over speeding the action. It also allows the user to access the piston assembly for maintenance via the front of the rifle without requiring removal of the hand guard or barrel.

The one-piece 17-4 stainless piston interfaces with a strike face that has been machined into the monolithic, anti-tilt bolt carrier.

Reengineered and reinforced for piston applications, the TB-41 DLC coated, anti-tilt, full auto bolt carrier is machined from a solid block of 8620 steel with an integrated piston strike face. It’s magnetic-particle inspected and proof tested before leaving the factory. Both upper and lower receivers are forged from 7075-T6 aluminum, Type 3 Class 2 hardcoat anodized for durability, then finished with Cerakote for a perfect color match. The upper receiver and barrel extension feature M4 feed ramps for improved reliability, while the lightweight, free float handguard features a full-length M1913 Picatinny top rail with Magpul M-LOK accessory mounting slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions.

Also, your rifle ships with an awesome Barrett soft case, as an extra bonus
