Barrett refused to service the rifles law enforcement had in Cali after they passed the 50 cal ban. He has been at it for a while, not just recently
He has something better now anyways.

AK's have the advantage of detatchable mags and the ability to properly mount a scope.
SKS's are more affordable, they are easier to fire from a prone or bench rest postion (no huge mag sticking out of the bottom) and they are regarded and being somewhat more accurate.
Once you have emptied your available mags, the AK is little more than a club until you have completed the time-consuming process of reloading those mags. The SKS, on the other hand, can be quickly reloaded using stripper clips or by loading rounds singly. Over a prolonged period, the SKS can maintain a higher sustained rate of fire.
I have owned both, but now I have a Ruger Mini Thirty which is pretty much a refined version of the AK with a much better trigger and better scope mounting system.

I love using stripper clips at ranges where I can use them. Last one I visited allowed only 1 at a time if you had a semiauto. A buck wandered out onto the range on break and we had to chase it off!! I know Magtech makes some detachable ones for the SKS, but they don't work so great according to someone I know who has some. Have you seen the Chinese 20 rounder? Now that is awkward! Now I gotta have that Mini 30! Darnyou! Any thoughts on the Makarov? I use one for most of my concealed carry when I'm out and about.

It kind of "begs the question"....
Why would Cali law enforcement.... feel the need.... for a weapon of war....
Last time I checked.... they don't encounter too many armored vehicles.

The .50 can also be used as a extreme long range sniper rifle. I could see a SWAT team needing one for a hostage rescue scenario, if they needed to "reach out and touch someone" from 700+ yards away.

The latest 416 has about another 500 yards extreme range!

Imagine being the insurance adjuster for that one! Not much room for debate on whether the car is totaled or not. Good thing there was no ammunition on board!

Via The Blaze:
One suspect is dead after a quick-thinking 21-year-old man sprang into action and grabbed his father’s gun to fend off three armed intruders and protect his parents in Texas.
The Houston-area young man and his parents were at home baking a cake Thursday night when there was a knock on the door, KHOU-TV reported.
“I see a young boy and I think it is a friend of my son so I open it a little bit,” the father, who didn’t want to show his face or give his name on camera, told KHOU. “These guys push and out comes two more, they push me on the ground.”
With the father down, the suspects went after the mother, telling her to get on the ground. She ran to her bedroom, where her son was already grabbing the gun from under the bed.
“I just hear a couple of times, boom, boom, boom,” the father said.
The son opened fire and struck one of the suspects, who died in one of the back bedrooms. The other two fled the scene, but deputies responding to the call picked up two men matching their description and took them in for questioning.
The entire attack lasted less than a minute, the family said. No charges are expected to be filed against the son, but they’re not taking any joy in the outcome.
“One young life is lost,” the father said.
