50 BMG AR Upper

[Ianmtx]

Was looking at gunbroker and found this. Pretty cool looking, and at $1,300 it's cheap as hell compared to a real 50 cal. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=140196801 pix1111790187.jpg pix1111790281.jpg pix1111790359.jpg pix1111790437.jpg

they have 50 cal conversions, look at the beowulf from alexander arms. just remember, each time you pull the trigger, there goes $4.

People who can afford to shoot 50 cal is either a baller or a pornstar.

so how exactly do you chamber a round in that monstrosity?

Feeds from the side. Bolt goes all the way back, and you slip the round in that way.

ah, got cha... I just saw the bolt lever... I bet that thing kicks like a horse (clydesdale), I'd imagine you put too many rounds through it, you'd end up compromising the integrity of the AR frame... seems like an accident waiting to happen

I'd hate to feel the kick from that thing. How much was it?

It seems like alot of stress would be put on the two pins holding the upper to the lower. I guess if it was a .308 lower it would be a little better...

Sorry guys, had the wrong link, I fixed it.

Yeah I'm sure the recoil is brutal on that thing. It definitely is nothing like the Barrett 50 BMG semi-auto that has almost no recoil. Then again, it isn't 8 grand.

who in their civilian right mind would want to buy this? lol who are you going to snipe or assassinate? facking crazy knowing regular people out there can own something like this! lol

[Hokie Z]

it probably shouldn't be legal lol, but I'd love to own a .50 BMG. That is pretty cheap, I don't know how comfortable I'd be shooting it though

^ The Beowulf doesnt even kick all that much, a tad more then a .308 really.

The BMG however, I recall reading a thread where some dude with the AR conversion, upon recoil broke the locking tab on his collapsible stock, and then bent up the inside, making the stock stuck in the shortest position. It also after a few more shots, dinged up the lower, in all the places the upper contacts with.

Yeah, the beowulf isn't nearly as large as BMG. I'd like to see a video of a BMG AR

The question is, "Who in their right mind wouldn't want to buy that?"
