Army and federal agents confiscated the following in Durango City, MX from drug cartel gunmen. Can someone ID that sniper?

ar-50 barrel with a wooden stock?

Dragunov · 12-03-2008, 12:53 PM

It could be. Never seen it before. Some local newspapers said it was a Barret.

Jaemten · 12-03-2008, 01:33 PM

McMillan M87 perhaps?? but with a wooden stock?

Good luck and Respect to Mexican Security Forces i hope they will share their experiences with other security forces especially about Narco-Terror

No idea but that looks like a god awful uncomfortable stock, no recoil pad, no cheek rest.

Now get the narco-piojosos and impale them with that odd rifle up their buttz.

What i dont get is these raids show that the Cartels have enough weapons and emo to make for a "hollywood" gun fight scene, yet their asses always get caught with only a few rounds fired if ever there is one.

Si` and it would take someone on pain pills with grande cajones~ to shoot that mother.

I'm voting it's not real. I don't know why you'd make a fake one, though the lack of working parts points to those clues.

Some kids toy maybe?

no its real alright, its a single shot bolt action rifle. to me it really looks like an ar-50 with a wooden stock that some one fitted it with.

I would guess it is a McMillian TAC-50 action with a homemade unfinished stock (no recoil pad) and a 3rd party barrel, possibly with Barret muzzle break or clone.

TAC-50:

barrett model 95

There is a magazine inserted into it.

AR-50 barrel and muzzle break?
