Barrett M82 12 round Magazine


Recommended Posts

Posted

Need some help finding out any info on these rare magazines.  The standard magazine is 10 rounds.  A small batch of 12 round magazines were made as an experiment for Operation Desert Storm in 1991.  The had feeding issues and were abandoned.  My buddy has one and I am trying to figure out a fair price.  I can not seem to find any info on where these have sold before.  I found one thread on AR15 where a guy bought one 75 dollars and somebody else mentioned that if it was in good shape that it would be a steal at quadruple that price.  I had it in the back of my mind that these were in the 300-600 dollar range but can't really back that up.  

 

Anybody familiar with these or have any info on them?

Have you called Barrett?  They're right here in Tennessee.

And, I'm not trying to criticize your choices or anything, but I'm just asking to understand:  Why are you looking for an expensive magazine that's known not to function?   For use in failure drills or something?

Good luck with your search,

Whisper

You’re using “shooter” thinking and applying it to a “collector” matter. They’re completely different hobbies and subjects of interest that only appear related on the surface. 
 

I don’t have any useful info for you right now @KahrManbut I will ask around. That’s a neat piece of gear though.

Chuck is correct.  It is more of a collectors items.  I have plenty of 10 round mags that function.
