Uhhh, Barrett Rifles is based in Murfreesboro, TN....
But, $7300+ will buy you a California legal M82A1

Barrett is offering, for a limited time only, the California-compliant Model 82A1CAL .50 caliber semi-automatic rifle that has the approval of the California Department of Justice. Barrett is very pleased to be able to offer for sale these 100 .50 caliber semi-auto rifles in the state of California. However, due to California's recent AB50 legislation, it is unfortunate that it will be the last.
What's the difference?
The 10-round non-detachable magazine is permanently affixed to the lower receiver with its pivot point directly behind the midlock pin allowing the hinged magazine to swing down for loading.
