RIFLE AND SHOTGUN PRODUCTION HISTORY
Company Facts:
Robar manufactures sniper rifles, a military high-caliber weapon capable of pinpoint shots at distances of up to 2,000 yards. Numerous engagements with 50 caliber sniper rifles during the Gulf War took place at 1,750 yards. From the West Front of the U.S. Capitol, this range would allow accurate firing as far as the Smithsonian Metro station on the National Mall. Robar currently markets two 50 caliber sniper rifles, the RC50 and the RC50-F, and bills itself as "internationally recognized as a world leader in precision sniper weapons." The RC50-F features a "unique two stage hinge system allowing the butt stock assembly to be fully folded flush with the rest of the gun." Both the RC50 and RC50-F come with a five-round detachable magazine, are available in four custom camouflage finishes, and are touted as "the lightest .50 caliber rifles available today."
