Didn't get a chance to shoot it tonight, maybe this weekend if I don't have to work. https://s32.postimg.org/6xepscayd/fiddy.jpg Edit: I put my AR scope on it just to check height. Primary Arms 4-14 DMR HUD something or another, in an ADM mount. It is unnaturally high for me. Eye relief wasn't enough either with that stock on there. Not sure what I'm looking for when I look at scopes and mounts and stuff but I guess it's something new to learn. The stock is from Safety Harbor Firearms. The bipod is his and is much nicer than I expected. Legs sit in notches and you have to pull them straight out of the notch to move them. View Quote it looks very cool, you most likely need a set of low rings for it. |

With the recoil that thing is going to have I would be looking at a scope with plenty of eye relief and hopefully nice soft rubber on the part closest to your face. You may want to get some advice from guys with similar guns in regards to what kind of rings will hold your scope securely and not allow it to slip. Good luck and hope to read of a fun filled range trip. |

Also, there is definitely a safety on the hammer drop.
The thumb safety is a little awkward to get to. It's tucked up tight with the side panel. Probably won't be so bad when it's not brand new stiff. |

I have plans for mine, going to replace the grip with a magpul, as well as a magpul rifle stock, eventually will be a PRS. And hopefully the Barrel jacket is the same size as one off a 1919, so I can put a carry handle on it. Because large guns need carry handles.
Going to build a hammer extension and some other parts for it. |

I did the same thing, I have all the parts ready. I just need the rifle to show.

I'd like to know too. View Quote Give Matthew a call at Sure Shot exploding targets. Sureshot He has Ball and API for 1.95 a round, APIT is a little bit more. It ships from oregon. |

After shooting it, the recoil isnt any worse than a 12 gauge with slugs IMO. But that was shooting a 740 gr brass projectile. I wonder if 640 grain ammo will have less recoil.

|
Using an A2 stock and a limbsaver slip on recoil pad, makes the gun very pleasant to shoot recoil wise, concussion is just something you experience.

Anyone get there's recently? if so what was your invoice date? trying to gauge how far behind they are.
Im anxiously waiting to shoot a 50 for the first time |
|
They just confirmed my FFL and sent me an updated invoice so hopefully mine is less than a month out. I ordered 2/1. They haven't called for payment yet though.

So I ended up shooting it yesterday. I was by myself so I don't have pics or video. It shot fine, smooth trigger. I'm still going to look for a riser, the scope height is still too high for my liking.

If anyone is near Twin Cities or western Wisconsin, I have about 1200 rounds for sale. Some tracer, some incendiary, some AP, mostly ball rounds.
These rounds no longer fit my rifle with a tight match chambering. I will not ship. |

Hats off to Mark Serbu for making an affordable, entry level 50. However, I'm pretty sure I'd never be comfortable putting my face behind that battery.

I don't really know... It's got a POF logo on the buttpad, but no model number that I can find otherwise.
I got it a few years ago on a POF .308 AR rifle where I replaced it with a Magpul PRS. It does have the right look for this rifle and the A2 LOP works for me in this case. |
|
Yeah that is the best looking stock for that rifle. If anyone has anymore info about it, kindly post it. What bipod is that ?

I'll be happy if I get it by the end of the year. |

I'm now thinking about a regular A1 stock with one of the old Choate slip on cheekpieces that were popular when everyone used carry handle scope mounts. |

Well it came in today.
I'm pretty satisfied with the construction, finish and how smooth the action feels. It's built like an industrial tool, no doubt about it. If it shoots decent groups I definitely think it's worth the price. I'm gonna have to wait till after the holidays to get glass and a stock. I do like the stock Mr.Ben posted. BTW- didn't someone mention getting an owner's manual? All I got was a copy of the receipt. |
|
Picked mine up from my FFL on Tuesday. (FYI ordered Feb 10th). This thing is a beast. Nothing fancy, but looks well made. I haven't decided on what glass to put on it yet, but might just put a 3-9x40 Burris Elite 4200 that I have sitting in the safe for the time being. Can't wait to get out to the range with this beast!
Edit... no manual with mine either, only a receipt. |
|
from what i hear owners will be mailed a manual when they are written.
|
|
Has anyone been shooting theirs much?
I haven't been able to get out due to work schedules and weather. Hell, I haven't even got a scope, stock or ammo yet. |
|
|
|
My invoice date is 2/13/2016. Anyone still waiting on their orders from around then?
I'm ok waiting, I just want to be sure they didn't forget to call me. |
|
|
I gave them a call. They said they couldn't get in contact with me so they moved past me on the wait list. If they called me, I didn't any voicemail messages from them.
Anyway, they said I could pick up mine next week. |
