So, I just sent my Barrett 99 in for service. I had some rusting issue at the beginning of the chamber. No matter what I tried, I could not get it to stop.
My guns are kept in the same temp controlled room and I do not have any problems with any of my other guns.
So the story goes, I bought it used. Went out and shot 60-70 rounds out of it last year. No problems. Went out 2 weeks ago and fired off 4 rounds total. The bolt was sticking like you would not believe. I started looking for the problem and found a lot of rust at the breech. I started working on it for the next 4 days trying to get the rust out of the breach and could not. I decided it was not worth the risk, and thought it was probably going to be an expensive fix. So I sent it out to Barrett.
I received an email from them today. Short story, they found a crack in my receiver. Super expensive fix right should be no warranty as I am the second owner. NOPE!!!!!!!!!! These guys are fixing it free. THis is crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Their customer service is awesome. Well its time to buy a 107 now.
