Sorry to wait till the last minute , but I hurt my foot a couple of weeks ago and I was not sure I would be going to SAR . I am going Saturday , and if there is any serious interest in this I'll haul it up .

I have a 29-inch Spider Firearms Ferret 50 BMG upper with a chrome - moly barrel . I ordered it to see what it would be like to shoot something other than a M2 . Although it did not hurt , I did not really enjoy it . When I sold my M2 , I bought a Barrett semiauto and I love it . I know I'll never shoot the Ferret again , so I want to sell it.

It has had about 50-60 rounds of GI type ammo put through it , so it is as like new as you can get . If you want , we can meet at SAR at my truck and you can look at it ( foot keeps me from taking it in ) . Can't post pics now after the photo bucket deal . Leave a PM with your phone number by O-dark-thirty Saturday and I'll bring it along . If I get no interest , I'll just leave it here .

I'm asking $2,300.00

Again , sorry for the last minute deal.
Chris

That's a fine model. I had a complete rifle w/lower from them some years back and it was flawless. Sold it for lack of places to shoot the 50 BMG - regretted it for a year or two, and now have a SHF model. Not as nice as the Ferrets.

Yes , you go on his website and he has lists of the matches won with his gun . I only sighted this half way in , had several people out putting a few rounds each down range . I've never heard of anyone disappointed in his products . But , dang , that Barrett M82A1 is a sure fire joy to shoot . I'm just getting to old to enjoy being pushed around . No more light weight rimmed 9.5s , .458s , or .375H&Hs for me !

:lol: Wimps i aint no younger than you and i still shoot both my Ruger #1 H .458 mag for cutting 1-2' limbs i can`t reach and even 40 years later i am still shooting 50 BMG from a rifle ,it was Never a hobby for me it was my vocation !! Still own my "work" rifle shell holder 1 of 150 contracted .... And as a fun blaster my Ultra Mag 50 , yes Walter made it but the work is better than it is now from SHF .Dave is a friend of mine and he built the finest uppers and rifles ,sadly he has a health issue and owe`s rifles to a number of people and he is trying to make good .....

I have been called recoil insensitive (among other things ) i can not tell you how many time i have been handed a rifle told "It kicks Like a Mule " X`ed it and handed back to the owner with their jaw on the ground :rofl::rofl::rofl: and i currently weigh only 150 Lb at 6'1" :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I still teach the Art of 50 BMG to target shooters and live only 35 miles from a range that will allow 50`s and me alone to shoot at 1750 yards even though i am not a member ,everyone else is limited to 1000 yd. !!

Yeah - but you are one in a million Belt Fed Frog.

I remember some email and forum discussions with you when I worked on my M3HB and also looking at the Ferret 50. You love and dedication to the 50 BMG is world renowned.

Seriously........well maybe not WORLD renowned, but pretty well known in the circles.....:lol:

 

[brassmagnet]

Ooooops.......OK I better quit high jacking the thread for conversations sake. Sorry......

[emmagee1917]

Aw , I don't mind . With such a short notice I wasn't expecting anyone to respond to buy . When they get back home next week there will prob'ly be a lot of though when they read this .
Oh , well , maybe next year.

[emmagee1917]

Well , I realized that in the morning I'll be pushing it to meet up with my friends at 5:30 , so I won't have time to run around putting the rifle , case , etc. together , so I'm shutting this down .
I'll start a new thread when I have the time to do this right .
Thanks all , Chris
