Still, wished you lived nearby.
Seems like you don't take "Can't be done" for an answer. Does the brake need to rotated 90' from your drawing? 458 Edit. never mind. I see it now |

Great write up.
I'm thinking of building a .458 SOCOM before long and wondered about milling it myself. Saw a youtube video of some dude using a dremel to open the ejection port. Your method looks way more civilized, but way more complicated. Where did you get the plus sized ejection port cover? |

You would have to be a master craftsman to make it come out right with that method. Using machines is simple. Just measure and cut... but always measure twice. Just about everything I've learned, I learned the hard way. Don't learn the hard way. Measure, calculate and then measure and calculate again. Quoted:

Very nice build!
I have so much equipment that was manufactured all over the world that when something brakes, it could be months before I could get a replacement part. I have an appreciation and love for the local machinest that says, "through it in the rockwell, I can get you one made by noon." |

Hi everyone
I'm very intrigued at the idea of building my own custom Beowulf, but like many of the other members on here I don't have quality machine tools available to me to open the ejection port for the Beowulf .50 round. So, my question is, would this "Heavy Duty" upper from Mega Machine Shop proved the larger ejection port needed to avoid extra machining?? http://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=1871 |

Contact Mega and see if they'll give you the dimensions of the port. That way you'll know for sure before you order. My guess is that it would need to be opened up a bit more, but that would be a lot easier to do if you don't need to worry about the dust cover. |

I just spent the majority of the weekend on that break, and I'm probably only halfway done. Also, there are still plenty of opportunities for me to make a mistake, and I seem to have a knack for making mistakes. |

Good stuff. Anxiously awaiting more updates

Why do you think I'd be at the machine shop unless I did something dumb and broke something expensive?

Man - is there anyone that I can hire to mill out the opening of an upper for my build? Was thinking of building on a c3 upper...

Range Report??? No range report yet, but I did create a test fire topic. Test fire topic - CLICK HERE A real range report would contain load data and evaluate accuracy. We'll get there eventually, starting the process of working up loads presently. |
