Scorpio64 5,147 Posted January 22, 2023 Well it looks like NIOA defence contractors in Australia has 100% acquired Barrett Firearms. The company would continue to operate under the Barrett brand as a separate division within the NIOA Group alongside NIOA Australia, NIOA New Zealand, the Australian Missile Corporation and the group’s investment in joint venture company Rheinmetall NIOA Munitions. All management and staff at the Murfreesboro manufacturing facility in Tennessee have been retained and production will continue as normal. Over time it is expected that manufacturing activities in Murfreesboro will be further expanded. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

High Exposure 5,662 Posted January 22, 2023 According to a AUS buddy who was a Digger and a fellow gun-nut, the company that bought Barrett is solid. Very pro-firearms, very pro-civilian ownership, and is fighting the AUS govt with regards to their draconian gun laws on the regular. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
