Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, based in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, is a well-known American manufacturer of high-quality firearms, particularly famous for its long-range precision rifles. The company was founded in 1982 by Ronnie G. Barrett, who designed the iconic M82 semi-automatic rifle chambered for .50 BMG (12.7×99mm NATO) ammunition. This rifle gained significant popularity and was adopted by various military forces worldwide, including the U.S. military, which used it extensively during the Gulf War.

In January 2023, Barrett Firearms was acquired by the Australian defense contractor NIOA, which marked NIOA's entry into the U.S. market. Despite the acquisition, Barrett continues to operate under its brand as a separate division within NIOA Group. The acquisition aimed to expand Barrett’s manufacturing capabilities and maintain its legacy of producing world-class firearms

Barrett's product lineup includes a range of anti-materiel rifles such as the M82/M107, M95, M99, and sniper rifles like the MRAD and the newly introduced MRADELR. The MRADELR, known for its extreme long-range capabilities and versatility with user-changeable barrels and calibers, exemplifies Barrett’s commitment to innovation and precision engineering
