As the title asks how much interest would there really be?
We have made the ejection ports oversized on the Sporter specifically so that big bore cartridges will work.

We are looking at possibly doing a run of barrels, BUT the costs of the specific tooling to drill, rifle, lap then chamber them is not a small amount of money if we are only going to do 2 or 3 barrels.
Needless to say until we have some sort of number of barrels to spread the costs of the specialty tooling across we don't have a price, but for sake of argument lets say $950.00 for a stainless match quality barrel any contour.

Are there enough guys wanting a big bore ?
 
I think looking at 450 bushmaster would be a little better option, as the magazines are proprietary and won't load .223/7.62x39 or any of the other double stack cartridges. As far as I know they're the only big bore AR15 magazine that's actually legal to use with 5 rounds compared to the 50 beo and 458 socom that are limited to 2.
 
Just asking...

Whats the big diff between 450 bm, 458 socom and 50 beo ? They look like all the same to me

I agree I think 450BM is the way to go seems the ammo is more readily available as well

Can you send me details on what 18.6" 5.56 barrel you can do for the MS?

I dont like the other options,

thanks
 
We have a potential line on ammunition for the beowulf, and I'm told the 450 bushmaster single stack magazine feeds and holds 5 beowulf rounds. That's where some of this conversation is coming from...
