The Improved DA50 .50BMG upper is back in stock

[Canada Ammo]

We have just received a shipment of Dominion Arms .50 BMG uppers.
This is an improved version with the following features:

Non-Fluted heavy barrel
Longer rail without the side rails in the 3 and 6 o'clock position for better balance.
Nitride Coating for improved corrosion protection
Ramped Extractor for improved spent case extraction.

Still waiting on your NR lower =) Nice improvements on the upper!

Excellent!

I would love to get one next month but with that other company no longer does the non-restricted lowers. Any word on Canam's progress on getting a NR lower for this upper?

No joke with a reasonably priced lower, I was sold day one. It's either wait for this, or buy a Noreen. I know where I want my money to go.

Was there an issue with the fluted barrel that led to omitting them this time around?

No issues with the previous fluted barrel. Possibly a little to do with cost savings.
Yes, fluting does save a little weight (0.5 lbs) but then again on a 25 lb rifle its not a huge factor when sitting on a Bi-Pod.
The additional cooling provided by the fluting wasn't a big factor due to the slow rate of fire. If it was a semi-auto...
There is a chance we will get the fluted barrels in the future.

Thanks for the reply!

We will have a complete Non-Restricted rifle in approximately 3-4 months. The lower will be manufactured in Canada.

I love my Gen 2 upper - good accuracy and improved bolt / camming action on extraction. Feels solid - as a big .50 BMG should!

Thanks again CanAm!

I will be looking forward to seeing the complete Non-Restricted rifle.

 

[Turbomaro]

Will a lower be available separately ??

Just out if curiosity, what would the completed rifle cost (ballpark-ish) all said n done?

I'm very glad to hear this! Thank you.

What is the accuracy like, I don't call seeing any reports, just shooting in some youtube vids by tootall and rickervision

I was in the process of load develop let for my Gen 1 upper when Gen 2 came out and CanAm offered upgrades for Gen 1 owners for a reasonable cost. My Gen 2 has only around 10 rounds through from 1 trip to the range so far, with a new scope mounted. So far, I would say accuracy is "promising".

I plan to do some load development this summer and will post results.
