Barrett Firearms 18499 MRAD 300 26" 11-Round Cerakote AR Rifle

The Barrett Firearms 18499 MRAD 300 26" 11-Round Cerakote AR Rifle represents a modern precision platform built for law enforcement tactical teams, military units, and serious long-range shooters who demand sub-MOA accuracy and reliable performance in demanding environments. This semi-automatic rifle combines Barrett's proven engineering with the .300 PRC cartridge, a magnum round engineered specifically for extended-range engagements where standard intermediate calibers fall short. The MRAD platform has earned its reputation through real-world deployment and competition testing, making it a trusted choice for precision rifle applications from 500 yards to well beyond 1,000 yards.

The 26-inch barrel is optimized for .300 PRC ballistics, providing superior velocity retention and a flatter trajectory compared to shorter barrels while maintaining manageable recoil through a tuned gas system and ergonomic layout. The Cerakote finish—a polymer-ceramic coating—delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and durability against harsh field conditions, salt spray, and abrasive environments where standard blued finishes fail. Weighing 18 lbs with its 11-round magazine, the rifle balances firepower and maneuverability without sacrificing the structural rigidity required for precision work. The modular AR-platform design allows for optic mounting, accessory rail integration, and magazine compatibility with standard modern sporting rifle infrastructure.

Professional shooters, designated marksmen, and tactical units will find this rifle performs reliably in competition formats, urban and rural deployment scenarios, and training environments where precision under pressure matters. Law enforcement precision teams value the MRAD's quick magazine changes and modular upgradability, while hunters pursuing large game at extended ranges benefit from the .300 PRC's energy delivery. This is an FFL-required firearm; all purchases must be transferred through a licensed federal firearms dealer in accordance with federal and state regulations. Installation of optics and accessories requires no gunsmith work due to standard Picatinny rail integration.
