The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

I haven’t followed the timeline of the “dimpled” vs “non-dimpled” receivers, but it looks like late 2023 is when it was first implemented?

I’m curious why retailers are still selling “non-dimpled” receivers? Or are we seeing a lot of used “non-dimpled” receivers changing hands?

Partly curious because Barrett’s warranty is for the original purchaser only and for only 1 year. Or are they waving this policy for the cracked receivers? Really this last question is what I’m interested in.

Unless the dealers are scanning through one or two forums, they have no idea what a "non-dimpled" receiver is. Barrett has never made a statement about it as far as I know. 99% of FFLs out there have no idea it's a thing to watch out for.

That makes sense. I wouldn’t expect FFLs to do much of anything if there is no official recall.
 
Wonder how Barrett handles warranties if it’s beyond 1 year of ownership or if the rifle was sold second hand
Can say, whilst the MRAD is a bit of a hit and miss for me, NIOA and Barrett CS is top tier. Huge fan. That doesn't take away from how frustrating it is to have a new (to you) gun break straight up. But if my dealings with them are anything to go by, i'd have 110% confidence they will look after you.
