M107
The XM107 was originally intended to be a bolt-action sniper rifle, and in fact it was selected by the US Army in a competition between such weapons. However, the decision was made that the US Army did not, in fact, require such a weapon. Unfortunately money had already been alloted for "XM107 rifles," and rather than deal with this complication, the decision was made to redesignate the M82A1M/A3 to M107, and use the money to purchase those type of rifles instead. There are no differences between the Barrett M82A1M/A3 and the M107.
