Proves these boating accidents we talk about are real.

The articles say they are .50 caliber Barrett sniper rifles.

Looks kinda small for a .50.

Are they gonna get it back after investigation?

Possible, but the shape doesn't look right for Barrett's, even without the barrel.

Either way... Used for nefarious purposes, "cleaned", and dropped in the canal...

Princeton Canal Number C-102 is situated south of Monkey Jungle, and north of Naranja Park.

Don't forget the m99 or whatever their more bullpup shaped one is.

The pistol grip and stock of both, but especially the one on the right, certainly doesn't look right for an M99.

It's hard to tell, but there is some slim possibility that it could be an M107/82A1, missing more than the barrel. Just missing the barrel doesn't explain the height/shape of the top of the receiver.

I have an M82a1 and I think it looks exactly like the lower receiver. Its not missing the barrel alone. Its missing the whole upper receiver. Here is a picture off the internet.

Yeah. The butt stock on the right is what is throwing me off, but who knows what kind of crap is on it.

And, keep in mind that the media says these are ?Barret 50 cal sniper rifles?.

This is the same media that has reported Ruger 10/22s as being AK-47s and revolvers as being Glocks.

The magnet fishing expedition could have pulled up some airsoft or nerf stuff for all we know.

there are more than a few guys on this forum that have one. AND NOOOOOO!!!!

What if I shoot prairie rats on your ranch with it? I've never shot a squeaky critter with one.

I havent either. biggest is caliber I have shot them with is 308 or 10mm on the handgun side.

I hope I finally have a handle on the pdogs. I spent many hours this winter poisoning them. I poisoned them a bunch this summer. I think it made them stronger.

Probably did...

Whatever doesn't kill you, probably makes you sleep later the next day, except a .50 caliber, it will just kill you.

Pink mist.

Having shot whistlepigs (wood chucks, but the locals name is more fun) with my .50, I can only imagine something as small as a prairie dog... Like HBar, the biggest I have gone after p-dogs with was a .308.
