Répliques Barrett M98 Airsoft

Short history of the Barrett M98

The Barrett M98 is a bolt action sniper rifle manufactured by Barrett Firearms Manufacturing. The Barrett M98 was officially announced in October 2008 and became available for sale in early 2009.

Barrett engineers began designing the Barrett M98 in 1997, with the goal of developing a tactical precision .338 Lapua rifle that was not based on any sporting rifle. The initial semi-automatic design, the M98, was unveiled at the 1998 SHOT Show, but was not officially announced until 10 years later. Many of the M98's features were inspired by Stoner's AR-15/M16.

On September 9, 2009, Barrett issued a recall notice regarding the M98. They determined that if the rifle was dropped or received a significant impact, it could accidentally discharge.  A modification to the lower receiver is necessary to ensure the safety of the user.
