.50 Beowulf NR Semi

[Snuffy]

Was doing some searching and figure the answer is no but figured I would ask if there is any rifle out there NR that is fitted or can be fitted with .50 Beowulf

That’s a real open question. You could convert a 12 gauge single shot cooey if you wanted. I suspect that’s not what you’re after. Magazines may be an issue.

It's possible! Saw a guy selling one on the EE

Build one on an ATRS Modern Sporter receiver set. Or a MDI receiver set but I reccomend the ATRS set first.

Bushmaster acr as well, there is a few out there already

I have a 458 Socom on a SLR, same idea. I'm happy with it. The only thing I would do different is use a handguard that screws to the barrel nut instead of clamp. I can't keep it from creeping under recoil but overall happy with the build.

 

[Unholysavage]

Where are people sourcing NR length barrels for these big bores?

 

[Brian46]

Anyone that deals in barrel blanks

.458 socom is easier to get vs .50 Beowulf. Maple ridge armory is making NR barrels with bolts soon. I have a
458 socom upper I may part with just PM me.

Only reason 50 Beowulf is an issue to get, is Alexander arms holds the trademarks and patent on the name in the usa

This can be seen with the 50beowulf magazines that have been for sale over the years, for example C products, they were sold in Canada as 50 Beowulf, but on their USA website they are not mentioned and if you call their tech department, they will say they never made any.

Buying a barrel blank and having it finished in Canada is a non issue.

AR barrels in larger bores are no problem.... within trademark restrictions.

PM or email to discuss.

Thanks

I tried ordering a McGowen 50 Beowulf through Mystic Precision and Jerry said it wouldn’t fly. So I bought one of TNA’s barrels.

Is it just McGowan issue then?

Been a while since I’ve heard anything about .50 Beuwolf.

Are the new mags still pinned to 2 rounds of .50 or has that nonsense been dropped?

The legal comments in the frt are still there if that is what you are asking

Copy that.

If .50 is such an issue why not get a .458 socom?

Same magazine issue, so no real advantage

 

[Sniffer]

Magazine issue?

Are we talking physical issues with function or something else?
