Barrett Rec 7 Direct impingement or not ?

[Mag 300]

I’m looking to purchase 2 of the AR platforms and wanted to wait for a Knights SR 15 LRP but due to the changes in the countries leadership would like to buy 2 of the Rec 7’s

question is Direst or not , my Knight LRP had it and worked great

Thanks in Advance

I have not shot the DI version but have the piston. It works great. Will shoot any kind of ammo, even dirty crappy ammo without fail. It shoots sub moa with most off the shelf standard ammo.
I'm thinking about getting the DMR upper as well.
I'm sure you would be happy with the DI version if that's your thing, but the piston is flawless in my opinion.

Get the piston

I recently shot some of the Barrett REC stuff and was blown away by their quality and innovation on some of the most overlooked, basic parts. Frankly I was surprised that they don't get more coverage as being a top tier AR manufacturer as their fit and finish blew away some of the premium brands I've handled.

That being said, I would always spring for DI as I don't want to be stuck without replacement parts if there's different generations (or a next assault weapons ban!).

Where are you finding any in stock? I have been wanting a Barrett REC 7 and it seems everywhere I look is sold out.

I wanted to buy 2 of them as things are changing but Elk County Arms in PA only had 1 left so I bought it as soon as I could
Hoping these can be grandfathered ???

Thanks to all I had a chance for a DI unit and bought it
they were going to fast to wait

Nice, enjoy it. Can't go wrong with Barrett.
