Norinco PTRD: approved design, chamber it in a .50bmg... Just saying....

It is just a simple tube. And it would be exceptionally cheap to manufacture. It will be the new m305. And probably cost only $6-700 + freight.

Call it the Norinco (or dominion) arms model 50FuRCMP.
Just so 'they' know we care!

I should have bought the semi auto PTRD that was at my LGS in 2005

I believe that is the PTRS - a giant SKS effectively. I got plenty of them, so they [PTRS] would be a later acquisition.

Yes, Maybe countries of the former USSR is the place to look for a cheap .50 sks svt mosin all come cheap out of there. Do they Have 50 cal rifles or equivalent!!
Single shot works for me, keep it simple for price and less breakage/repairs, but something that was sitting in a warehouse for 50-60 years in mag fed semi or bolt is fine,,just inexpensive!!

I hope Chris doesn't mind me posting in his tread (please feel free to delete), but I had the boys from Norinco show me their .50 today here at IWA.
Current price is over $7000USD, and that isn't retail. They themselves feel it is too high a price to sell any.
It was developed for PLA use, not for commercial export, due to cost.
The guy actually said "US 50's, $4000, Our 50, $7000+. We see no chance for sales"

I'm a Chinese and I have to agree you. Norinco can make some simple but classic designed weapons cheap and reliable, but not this sort of rifle. Yes they can make Santana as well as German made with 1/4 of the price, but you can't expect them make a Bugatti and still only 1/4 of the price. It will cost more, not less.

By the way, I'm a Chinese, I'm living in China so I don't know what's it like in CA, but what are you guys planning to do with a .50? Shooting some gargantuar zombie? Is the zombie problem that serious in Canada?

Correct me if I am wrong but there was a canadian made .50 bolt action single shot that was sold by an ex advertiser here on CGN a couple a years ago.

I cannot remember the price but I think that a canadian company could make one for 1500$ if demand is there. Single shot true the stock with bipod and telescopic mount.

Am I wrong?

Yes. Yes it is. BTW, are you Chinese by any chance?

No idea but that would be great - lets find them and start a pledge =)

I believe the "budget minded" Canadian made one is a CanStar which is a Noreen knock off.

If there were a 20mm available for $1500 and ammo were available I'd be in on that.

Sometimes you go quality, sometimes you go quantity... all depends on what you want at that time.

I second that.
A simple design such as the PTRS or PTRD shooting 50 BMG produced in CHINA would be wonderful.
Another alternative would be a special AR15 upper for 50BMG.
At the end a good deal on a combo with any of the above with 200 rounds of 50BMG !
I am IN !
