This has been at Action Hobbys for some time now. But a Barrett replica at £299.99? This one will look great in your own collection. But in the skirmish field? We dunno. Still nice nevertheless. You can check the receive it is ok to drop in an AEG gearbox if you want to use this as a beast during games. I am thinking of getting one for myself and see how it can be modified...

"Ok before i start i have not had a big chance to get a long review done. The M99 Barrett is one of the best sniper rifles i have seen, i would of liked it to have been a little les­s, but when you take into account we shipped them by air and trust me they are a heavy old beast and the fact the gun is nearly all metal made mainly from steel and alloy with a lot of CNC machine work this gun is quality at its best.

Taking a close look it looks like it uses the same spring internals as the APS, but i need to check this out as the bolt rear is slightly different, spring powered with magazine feed. They have also done a nice touch with the CNC barrel and steel adjustable bipod and when we put the gun on the crono we had a nice 460 fps.

The only down side i found was because the scope is so long in order to mount the carry handle you have to not use the scope extension and also i found the mounts for the scope could be better as i feel they have used off the shelf basic mounts that have a little play when mounted (nothing a small amount of packing did not fix).

All in all though this gun because its the smaller bullpup version of the Barrett could be a practical airsoft gun if you can carry the weight and use it in a fixed position as the balance is nice."
