    Don't know. I just emailed them. I went to take it out. I rarely get to shoot it so it has been a while. I grabbed it by the barrel and it turned. I thought I was just imagining it. But no, it took no power at all to twist it. I have no clue how they lock the barrel in there but mine is definitely defective or missing it. I'm not very impressed. 50BMG is nothing to screw around with.

    I haven't used any reloads and nothing out of the ordinary has happened while shooting it. It just seems like either the design was flawed or someone assembled it on a Friday afternoon.

    It's a Gen 1 as far as I know. Has a fluted barrel, no rough chamber or ringed brass like some of the Gen 2 had. It has an ATRS lower, here is a better pic of it. I've got some Hornady but haven't really tried it out much.

    Who makes that bipod? Looks pretty beefy

    Gatehouse backyard special. $25 in parts and a scrounged Pic rail adapter. Not a bipod you want attached to your rifle while hiking up the mountain, but it's good for 100 m from the truck.
