Buis for 50bmg (Sept 22 Update)

Ever heard of detached retinas? You will.
I would just throw an Aimpoint on top of it and skip the irons.

This would be very cool to shoot once or twice but I think the novelty will wear off in less than ten shots and you'll realize that you just wasted a lot of money building something you only want to shoot once a summer and that's also worth nothing on the used market.
I'm guessing that there will be so much powder still burning as the projectile leaves the muzzle it will destabilize the bullet and accuracy will suck, I hope you're an experienced handloader and are able to build some safe rounds with a faster powder that will actually give you some sort of performance, 8.5 inches isn't much time for a projectile to get moving in a cartridge that typically uses 26+ inches.

Sorry but to me this is another case of more money than brains. Just a guess, you drive a lifted/leveled diesel and think it's cool to roll coal? Not trying to be a #### or insult you but who else would come up with something so useless knowing how insane the muzzle blast will be and still go ahead with it.

But hey, that's just one old farts opinion, I hope you enjoy your toy and I hope to see some links to videos of you shooting it.
Good luck, play safe.

Well in that case I can't wait to see pics and a range report.
I understand the but I want it thought pattern, I buy lots of stuff like that but I'm just too practical to even consider a project like this.
Lol, my 6.5 inch AR had more muzzle blast than I cared to endure, I can't even begin to imagine what this thing is going to be like.

Do you know what the overall length will be with the stock you are using with the ATRS lower?

I'm still going to suggest a decent dot sight like an Aimpoint or something similar. Or a decent 1-4 power scope so you have a little magnification so you can print some groups at 100yds and ring steel out a few hundred. Ideally I'd put a sightron SIII 1-7 on it but it all depends what you actually plan to shoot at with this fire breathing monster.

Love it, I think I actually like my PRO better than my T1.
My PRO found a new home on my Derya MK-12.
Otokiak offered to trade his short 50 for my Desert Tech SRS 338, it was so tempting but I ended up turning it down. My goal was to switch out to a rifle I had less money tied up in and to shoot a cartridge that was cheaper per round so the 50 didn't make sense.

Lol, no, I just recognize the personality type, I have a few friends like that and there's nothing wrong with it (within reason) as long as you don't mind being the one who thinks it's cool even though most of the rest of civilization just shakes their heads and thinks it's childish and ignorant.
