When it comes to big guns, American exceptionalism and divine intervention, nothing beats the story of how Ronnie Barrett and company became the world’s foremost supplier of long-range, military-grade small arms.

The Boys rifle saw service with U.S. Marine Raiders during the Makin Island Raid of Aug. 17 and 18, 1942. “Carlson’s Raiders” used their Boys rifles to dispatch two Japanese float planes. It was likely an unenviable task to lug the massive bolt-action through the jungle.

From its first shoulder-fired .50 BMG-chambered rifle to switch-barrel Precision Sniper rifle systems, Barrett Firearms continues to make history, this year with its 40th year of business.
