Its an M82 with a custom stock of some kind.

It's a factory Barrett, not custom. It's an early bullpup version of an M82. I'm guessing it never caught on (I wonder why :roll:

?). When I say early, I'm thinking late '80s or early '90s. My 7th edition of Military Small Arms of the 20th Century refers to it as the M82A2, designed to be lighter and smaller than the M82A1.

Something about a bullpup .50BMG semi-auto rifle just seems awesome to me though, lol.
