The .50 Beowulf upper fits right on a standard AR lower. It even uses standard 30 round AR magazines, but only holds 10 rounds.stevie_d_64 wrote:Oh yes you did!age_ranger wrote:What's the fascination with AR's?
oh no, he di-'int!!!!
I think building one was one of the most satisfying experiences I've had with firearms yet.......it's great fun. It's simple and can be done on a budget. No special tools are required to build the lower receiver and you have several caliber uppers you can choose from. Lets not forget you also have about 20 different lower receviers to choose from. You can start with a stripped lower for about $120ish and then build it from there. It's easiest to build a lower and buy a completed upper. Try it, you'll be hooked!!
I've been talking to a co-worker of mine and he's into all the CMP matches and all that...
He told me that he's looking into building an AR that can use the .50 Beowolf upper...Now, if that doesn't require a special lower assembly, then that kind of intrigued me somewhat...
That may be in Steve's future sometime down the road...
I am told it recoils about like a 20 guage.
