Description
The Barrett M95 was developed by the Barrett Firearms Company as a successor to the earlier Barrett M90. Designed as a bolt-action, bullpup anti-materiel rifle, the platform was entered into a United States military competition in 1999, where it received the designation XM107. Although the U.S. Army acquired a limited quantity of these rifles for evaluation, the service ultimately selected the Barrett M82.
The rifle utilizes a bullpup layout, placing the action and magazine feed system behind the pistol grip. It operates via a manual bolt-action mechanism. To improve ergonomics over the predecessor model, the pistol grip and trigger assembly were relocated forward to increase clearance for the detachable box magazine. Additional design modifications include a redesigned bolt handle bent downward and toward the rear, a chrome-plated barrel chamber, and internal revisions to the trigger and firing pin. The platform does not feature integrated iron sights.
The firearm is fielded by military and law enforcement agencies in at least fifteen countries. Notable operators include the Austrian Jagdkommando, the Italian 9th Parachute Assault Regiment "Col Moschin," the Jordanian Special Operations Forces, and the Serbian 72nd Brigade for Special Operations. The Philippine Marine Corps procured the rifle in 1998, and the Indian Army deployed the platform for service. Other official users include the Spanish Army and Navy, the Royal Thai Navy SEALs, and specialized units in Argentina, Georgia, Greece, Malaysia, and Portugal. Documented variants of the system include the XM107 trial designation and the M95SP.
