This 82A1 CQ is chambered in .50 BMG and uses Barrett's semi-automatic, short-recoil operated action. The CQ configuration uses a 20-inch fluted, heavy-profile barrel paired with Barrett's rectangular two-chamber muzzle brake to manage recoil and blast. The twist rate is 1:15 RH, optimized for typical .50 BMG projectiles.
The rifle is built on a steel receiver with a gray finish and right-side ejection. Captive takedown pins simplify field stripping. Overall length is approximately 48 inches in the CQ configuration, and factory weight is approximately 31.5 pounds. Capacity is 10+1 using the included steel magazine.
A continuous top MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail runs the length of the receiver for mounting solutions, complemented by an underside rail section. The rifle is equipped with iron sights, including a flip-up rear sight with an elevation scale. A tubular handguard with elongated oval cooling slots promotes airflow around the barrel.
Support features include a perforated folding steel bipod and an integral rear retractable monopod for fine elevation control. Handling is aided by a pivoting carry handle and front/rear sling rings. The stock integrates a skeletonized butt and a fabric-covered cheek pad, with a 15.0-inch length of pull. A finger-grooved pistol grip and a thumb safety round out the controls.
Receiver markings include “BARRETT FIREARMS MANUFACTURING, INC., MURFREESBORO, TN, U.S.A.” with the model “82A1.” The caliber “50 BMG” is visible through a handguard port. Country of origin is the United States.
