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

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

Very interested here in NL. NR would be key, as our biggest range on the island (SJRGC) Only allows up to .338

Great pioneering guys! This is what we need to see more of in our hobby!
 
Ok I am ready for this set up....especially if this deal will include the NR lower and .50 upper for less than 2000. I mean seriously where do I put my credit card info? I will be monitoring for some pre order action.

Oh man, if this for real, there is going to be a severe shortage of 50 bmg ammo nationwide...unless CanAm is getting bulk 50 bmg from somewhere...:D :D :D

CanAm has picked up PMC and I have used some PMC Bronze 50BMG before and had decent results for 'cost effective' ammo... can't call 50BMG ammo "cheap" even if $5 a shot is considered 'cheap'... lol

so here's hoping that there will be 'cost effective' ammo to shoot through this 'cost effective' shooting solution.

In that video it looks to me like the gun is in battery and just plain blows up when the guy pulls the trigger. And the pic of that Barret is of a semi auto not a bolt. Unless you have a different opinion on what a out of battery discharge is. But otherwise yes I get your point on the power of the .50 and the quality of the firearm it's used in.
