Gun Review: Barrett REC7 Gen II 5.56mm

Handling the REC7 Gen II, the first thing I noticed was how smooth it feels. Barrett designed and builds the new Gen II handguard in-house. It uses the now-prolific "KeyMod" system, allowing you to add rails and accessories as needed. The handguard is octagonal and narrow, providing a comfortable handhold, with a flat bottom where it attaches to the upper receiver. A continuous top rail offers plenty of real estate for sights and optics. The remaining surface is smooth with no sharp edges, making it very comfortable to hold. Key-slot holes are in the 3, 6 and 9 o'clock positions. Sling-cup slots sit at the rear on both sides. Inserts protect the aluminum, which is a really nice touch. - See more at: http://www.tactical-life.com/firearms/gun-review-barrett-rec7-gen-ii-5-56mm/2/#barrett-rec7-gwle-field John Hames shared with you:   Gun Review: Barrett REC7 Gen II 5.56mm tactical-life.com - I've tested dozens of rifles over the years, so I usually meet marketing hyperbole with a bit of skepticism. Sure, it's a marketing director's job to sell their products; my job is to be open minded, impartial to brands and practical in testing. When this new REC7 arrived, it was immediately evident that James was not kidding—the REC7 Gen II is a nice rifle, one of the nicest out-of-the-box AR rifles out there. Available on the App Store.
