What this is:
A Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) reference for all commercially available .50 BMG caliber rifles. MSRP is derived from the respective manufacturer's website, via email and authorized dealers.

What this is not:
This is not a one-stop shopping guide; It is only a starting point. Purchasing a weapon should never solely depend on the price. Price is merely one of many factors. A balance of features, lead time, ergonomics and other issues should be included in any purchase.

What else?:
Please note that some of these rifles can be purchased for less than MSRP. And some manufacturers accept orders directly from consumers rather than only FFLs. Also, prices shown are base prices for each respective model. Different models, even by the same manufacturer, may come packaged with different accessories. Prices for fluted barrels, bipods, cases, et-cetera are not included unless they are part of the basic package for that specific model. This post will undergo several edits, send corrections via PM.

USA-50 Semi-Auto, ~$3900. Notice the fluted barrel, fixed front sight and sling hardware. Is that a gas adjustment in the front sight tower?

Any word on a release date yet?

Evidently the prototype as fired several thousand rounds of the shorter Spotter/Tracer rounds with no problems. I'm guessing there is a problem getting the short gas system to use full size ammo. If this is true, maybe a pigtail gas tube will help. Using such a tube will require a larger full length hand guard running all the way to the front sight tower. Bye bye 15# gun.

True, however it will still weigh less than the 28.5lb M82A1.

He's got 'em listed above. ERG (East Ridge Gun) AKA State Arms

Waiting to see how the Serbu Semi comes out

Just an FYI, your Serbu BFG link doesent work with their new site. Here is the new link:

Can someone point me toward a RH .50 that is shootable LH , no bolts close to face .....

None of the right bolt guns will hit you. But some will feel awkward because they are close. Pay particular attention to the guns that load further aft than others.

Also I saw a AR 15 upper sort of thing that apparently goes on top of an AR lower ????

See the "uppers" section. They all mount on an AR15 lower.

Armalite just upped the price on the AR-50


It's now going for $2,999.


I believe that is up about $250 from a month ago.

Dito how long? And what about the usa semi auto?
