.50 Cal rifle explodes first shot

[rushthezeppelin]

No, I use a Safety Harbor. The company was formed after the owners of Serbu split due to disagreements.

They are pretty much identical companies making pretty much identical products under different names.


I did a lot of homework before buying mine.

Good to know. I guess I won't have any trepidation about firing it again if you make it to Hicksville again (well besides the whole recoil making you black out for half a second thing )

OT WARNING!

... if you make it to Hicksville again (well besides the whole recoil making you black out for half a second thing

If you just want to experience recoil, I've got a .340 Weatherby custom that weighs under 6 pounds. I could bring it to Hicksville.

More pics: 50 BMG KABOOM

Just to clarify, that's a different incident.

That gun in those pictures just looks cheaply made. I wouldn't trust it with a .50 cal round, and I guess my instincts are backed up.

I think YG's is the only non-barrett .50 cal platform I would trust pulling the trigger on. The bullpup .50's-I don't care who it's made by. That's just too much boom, too close to my face for my comfort. lol

Is Grumpers bullpup 50 a barrett?

I couldn't pull up the vid at work. Damn - scary.

 

[Younggun]

Barretts are proven, I wouldn't have a problem shooting anything made by them.


Same with some other manufacturers for .50 BMG rifles. The most accurate and well made BMG rifles on the market are minimalist bullpup style rifles.

McMillan and EDM both make fine 50 cal rifles.

Never heard of either brand. Does anyone on TGT have one

I have experience with both. Both are excellent weapons, highly accurate.

I'll stick to my Boys ATR converted to .50 BMG from .55 Boys. I feel very safe with a platform that has been downsized from it's original cartridge rather than one that may be stressing a platform originally designed for a less robust cartridge. The Boys has a massive lock-up and everything is happening a good distance from your face, neck, or head and if anything ever did let go, which it wouldn't, there is a large metal shoulder guard to stop anything coming back.

 

[Tejano Scott]

Ouch. That might leave a mark. Hope someone had some "fuc$in towels"...

 

[Dredens]

The McMillan Tac-50 is an excellent rifle. Very good quality and outstanding accuracy.

The uppers are not stressing a platform designed for another cartridge. They are designed for .50 BMG.

I think you are stepping outside of your knowledge base on this one. It's apparent that you don't understand how the uppers work or their relationship with the lower.

I was referring to .50BMG uppers on ARs...as in my opinion is that I'll stick to a purpose built, robust platform to fire the .50BMG from rather than attaching an UPPER to a LOWER built to handle the recoil of a much smaller cartidge. Just voicing my choice of platforms. It's apparent you don't understand English my friend.

 

[Shotgun Jeremy]

You can't put a .50bmg upper on a standard AR lower. You can put it on a lower modeled after an AR lower that has been beefed up to handle the larger upper, though.

I knew exactly what you were saying, and I know exactly how they work.

It's apparent that my first assertion was correct.

Nope, standard lower.


Well, it's gotta be multi-cal
