DA50 .50BMG upper!!!???

[ShawnC6]

I'll be a guinea pig. And the price of the lower shouldnt matter much. All the bang is in the upper.

[critter928]

There have been plenty of out of battery discharges with single shots... I believe there is a vulcan .50 single shot video around here somewhere.
I am sure Canada Ammo would be careful, but unless a system is widely tested, you just don't know.

Or there is a Barret with a catastrophic failure
Attachment 25076

There is even another company that had a .50 AR upper that had an issue and detonated. ALS (the manufacturer of the one that failed)
asked any owners to "suspend use of their upper" until a fix could be found.

I am only saying that a .50 BMG is ridiculously powerful, and I don't like the idea of buying a cheap one where QC might be a skipped step.
Lets not forget that DA is Chinese and there have been issues with metallurgy and QC before.

And Yes I have shot a number of .50 rifles and MGs.

If the rifle is proven, and safe, I would love you buy one for under $2000.

While I appreciate your concern and you are not wrong about being careful, are you calling CanAm liars when they already posted this?

The guns are made in Canada. The barrels are made in the USA. Some smaller parts, etc are MIM from overseas

Price is expect to be well under $2000

You are seriously mistaken in your facts. Dominion Arms is not all made in Chinese manufactured firearms or firearms related products. Dominion Arms is Canada Ammos own house brand. Products made by a variety of manufactures other than just China that are sold under their house brand name. So it's entirely possible for this upper to be manufactured from parts manufactured in Canada and the US and not necessarily China.

Thanks for informing me I must have missed this post.

That said I stick to my original point, and will still urge caution when looking at unproven firearms... especially when they are containing one of the biggest calibers you can buy.


Also, a large number of DA firearms have been manufactured in China, so you may understand why I may have thought that.

50BMG Is big, with pretty substantial bolt thrust, but operates at pretty low pressure compared to many modern cartridges. 55,000 PSI IIRC.

Oh I can definitely understand why you would think that. However I believe the DA primers are made in Eastern Europe somewhere.

For the people who complain about it being restricted;
Do you live on a farm where you can safely shoot 50-BMG in the backyard?

I'm curious as to where people would like to shoot this caliber rifle, outside of a designated range.

I can fire this legally in my back yard if it was non restricted,

Read the rest of the posts. Damn now I HAVE TO START SAVING!

Wasn't that long ago CGN asked CanAmmo to bring us an affordable 50, looks like they listened to us. BIG KUDOS!

Now. I want 50 cal hollow or soft points for groundhogs

Vulcan=death and destruction.
