Harris M93

History of Harris M93

The .50 caliber heavy anti-material rifle is now standard equipment in every modern army in the world. Its advantage lies in the ability to accurately fire large bullets at long distances and penetrate the surfaces of lightly armored vehicles or solid structures.

Since then, many gun suppliers have jumped into the "antimatter gun circle" and Harris Gunworks designed their M93 specifically for the role. The M93 can reach targets with an accuracy of up to 2,400 meters.

At the heart of the M93 is an oversized rifle that relies on a proven bolt action mechanism for feeding fresh bullets into the firing chamber and ejecting spent cartridges. The weapon system is fed by a detachable 5- or 10-round magazine mounted in a well below the receiver in front of the trigger group. The weapon has a rifle-like appearance with an integrated shoulder rest, forearm and steel barrel. The barrel is free-floating (the stock does not touch any part of the barrel length) for improved accuracy and is capped by a "pepper pot" style muzzle brake to reduce the violent recoil effect inherent in firing a large ink cartridges.

The cartridge in question is the .50 Cal BMG (12.7 mm), a cartridge from the Browning Machine Gun (BMG) family that has proven effective against lightly armored targets and devastating to personnel.

The receiver for the M93 is machined from solid 4340 Chrome Molly or 416 stainless steel with a black oxide finish. The stock is made of graphite/fiberglass, is lightweight and durable, hinged on the sides, and has adjustable cheeks. The shaft can also be removed for easy transport. At the bottom of the stock is a monopod that works with a foldable, adjustable bipod assembly on the front of the fork. On top of the receiver is a length of Picatinny rail that allows standard or custom optics to be attached for the task at hand.

The M93 has a barrel length of 54 inches and weighs 25 pounds with optics installed.

Other accessories include laser rangefinder, night vision goggles and 4-16x optical sight. Available as a soft backpack or a hard travel bag.
