That's not chinese and certainly not 12.7mm, its Croatian 20mm sniper rifle or more like a cannon

I think that is going to vary based on what country/region of the country you are in.

Anyone can purchase a Remington Model 700. Which is the Platform weapon. The M40A3 just like all of the M40 series is tuned and assembled by the Marksmanship Unit at Quantico. So if your willing to pay a civilian Gunsmith to tune a stock 700 to USMCMU spec's then yes.

Don't forget the barrel, they are made specifically at Quantico. They would need to get in touch with someone that could supply the heavier barrel, other than that it is the same with the new addition of the stock modifications.

I think Harts makes a barrel thats close. But it costs.

Barrel is H-S Precision, maybe able to purchase directly.

Check out http://www.defensereview.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=691 for more on that weapon

 

[Shadowalker]

Any idea if it is just for SOCOM or whether it will be avaliable for other nations as well?

 

[Vitaly]

I think it will be available in a little bit, in some modification.

Barrett

I just saw a video clip of a Taliban sniper getting hit with a Barrett .50 at about 1000 meters. I will not put it on here because of the horror of seeing a man turned to particles. His arm was the largest part left and it flew about 30 meters from his position. Has anyone gotten this clip in email yet?

I've seen it. The last shot was particularly graphic. Clearly the Barret .50 dominates these days. At 1000m, the bullet only drops 1m. :shock:
