Barrett has recently been asked to develop a lightweight version of the M107 under the Anti-Materiel Sniper Rifle Congressional Program, and has already come up with a scheme to build important component parts such as the receiver frame and muzzle brake out of lighter-weight materials.
Barrett je nedavno bio na zadatku za razvijanje lakše verzije M107 pod "Kongresnom programu protumaterijalne snajperske puške", te je već smislio shemu da izgradi važne komponentne dijelove poput okvira prijamnika i kompenzatora lakše težine.
