You have a Barret? I would be jealous but even if I owned one I couldn’t afford to shoot more than once a month.

Several years ago I was at a gun show in Dothan, Alabama. There was one guy selling a bunch of high end rifles including one of the first Barrets. He had five or six different guns with serial numbers 1, 2 or 3. The Barret was one of those. He had a Voere .22, serial number 1.

He must have needed to raise money because they were all very reasonably priced. If I remember right, and I might not, he wanted only $2000 for the Barret. It was a bolt action one. I still wish I had bought that Voere .22 as I once had a dealer in Garden City, KS order one and he couldn’t get it.
